Description Taking a break from failing at my current projects to splatter out a bit of fan art for the upcoming American McGee's Alice 2. (Technically called Alice: the Madness Returns.) [link]

To say I'm looking forward to this game is an understatement. From the screenshots on the website, it looks as though Wonderland has gone from dark and weird and twisted to dark and weird and twisted AND DEAD. And the now-deceased card guards are strolling around visibly sporting all the stab wounds you gave them in the last game. That is BRILLIANT.

Anyway, pencil sketch, Photoshop color, awesome b/g texture courtesy of .

(BTW, Alice fans…there are a lot of so-called "Alice 2 previews" floating around YouTube. These are fan-made; the official trailer is the one on the EA site, as linked above. Ye be warned!) (Although some of those fan trailers are admittedly pretty cool.)

That is bloody awesome! I wonder if you noticed that each undead Card guard`s skull face bears their respective card sign as well?

No worries x3 and completely. makes you still guess the hidden things even when you finish the game 1st time around. In your opinion, which Card Guard has the weirdest skull design?

The weirdest?Β  Don't know, maybe the Diamond.Β  It seems the least "skull-like" but it still manages to work.

Agreiing. I just find Diamonds to be ... hilariously odd. Even though Spades are close to then, in my views.

These are awesome. c:

Shame they don't try to eat Alice in the game, though. I was looking forward to something as morbid as that before I saw the gameplays. <:3c

This is a fantastic picture. You've captured the resurrected card guard perfectly, especially that stitching. I really like the face too, how it seems shrunken around the skull, that's a fantastically macabre touch.

Looks very cool! I like this game. I like how all the card gaurds are like zombies. I also like the executioner.

Thanks! Yeah, the executioner was pretty cool. But I still liked it when Alice stepped on him.

Your welcome. Yeah, thats really funny when Alice is about to step on him. He's just staring at her, and drops his scythe on the ground. Its like he's going "Uh Oh!".

Yeah. X3 You can see some gameplay of it, though you can't hear the Cheshire cat in it, Alices voice is good. ^^ Look up Alice Madness Returns gamplay on YT. ^^

Well, until the game comes out and we fan artists have more material to work with, there will probably be a lot of similar-looking works being made. Your take on the card guard design is cool too.

(And I don't know why I made him a Seven. Guess I just like the number.)

Also I saw that trailer, that was chilling.

So Wonderland actually gets weirder? I love the ripped seams on this. It adds a really nice detail. The cutout heart came out really well, too. Nice and creepeh.

Thank ye! And yeah, from what they've put on the game site, "weirder" doesn't even BEGIN to cover it. *rubs palms together in fiendish anticipation*
