DuoDraw Art Contest 2 - Madman's Conten[x]t

Yeah, it's been a while....

Anyways, @hanbun has another contest. This time it's about the theme of "Wonder" and "Madness" which the theme itself is inspired by many iterations of the adaptation of Alice in Wonderland. This time, Imma be a madman and try to do something a bit different and something kinda personal (I promise I'm not gonna go preachy, so bear with me XP).

Well, here's the art for it.

.....Intense much? Anyways, the steps. First up is the sketch.

Those lines below the dudes hand is a guideline for coloring, will get there later.

Next is the Inking.

ANNNDDDD More inking! We're not done yet doods! These lines are gonna go bonkers!

Next is the colors. Better use the Copic Markers that I have for good use. Plus, it adds to the rather chaotic style that I'm aiming for. (Yes, this art is a traditional art)

And for some final adjustments and composition for this piece.

Overall, I just let my habit get the better of me here, as chaotic mumbo jumbo is kinda my stuff, since I'm pretty inpatient while doing something. Plus, a madman's mind is really a chaotic one.

But...... what is the shape that I drew close to madman's hand? What does the shape looks like? Is it a dessert? Or is it a torch? Is it some kind of symbol, like a person? Or is it some device? Maybe it's a symbol of world, or maybe it's a tablet with thingamajigs? Whatever it is that you create context out of this content, what does it signify when placed with the supposed madman in this piece? Is he hungry, or is he a power hungry maniac? Or is he enjoying himself with a device?
After that, what's the overall meaning of this art in general? Does it give a clear message? Or it's just a messy and lazy chaotic mess? Does it lost it's value if I don't show the title or put up these words? What is this piece about anyway?

Whatever your answer is, the madman will always be laughing, or is he? We as the one who like simple yet rigid answers with our limited scope might mesh or clash with others. And maybe, just maybe, the clash ends not with a bang, but a whimper. Whatever it is, we as beings who can flexibly made and alter content and context, for better or for worse has the scope to understand or demonize the other regardless of origin, status or creed.

Anyways, enough about me spewing this up. Enjoy or detest this thing for what is is. The choice is yours and your alone.
