Alice in Wonderland character redesign

The description for this character that I was given in concept art class reads:The Queen of Hearts: The insane, murderous dictator who rules over Wonderland without mercy and is the main antagonist of the game. Her body is composed mainly of tentacles; tentacles for arms, legs and even hair. She appears to be partially robotic due to visible gears in her mouth.The Mad Hatter: He is green-skinned and wears what looks like a loosened strait jacket, a large gear protruding out of his back. He wields a cane and his hat is tall and covered in astrological symbols. He is a psychopath, literally gone "mad" and obsessed with time and clockworks, and considers himself to be a genius. He invents mechanical devices, often evidently using the bodies of living organisms for the base of his inventions, as he plans to do to all of Wonderland's inhabitants.For the queen I was feeling a murderous sexy pirate x Ursula vibe so that's what I went with, also I decorated her with body parts since I feel like she would save a part of each human body she consumed as a souvenir. For the Hatter I was envisioning a mad scientist x steampunk aesthetics x outrageous fashion. I also added a bit of moral ambiguity to him as well.

“I believe these are character descriptions from the game Alice: Madness Returns. I did look up what the characters actually look like in the game after I read the description but my inspo came mostly from the descriptions alone.”
