Do you like your Alice in Wonderland delightfully bloody? This one may be for you. The art from EA’s Alice is dark and twisted.

 The idea behind the art wasn’t to twist the ideas of the classic Carroll story and make it something it was not, but instead to embrace it, and see the evolution of what it could become, because lets face it, Wonderland has never exactly been a sweet and cuddly place.

The pages of the book hold the explorations, concepts, sketches, and final renders that chronicle the development of Alice’s next chapter. The story, and process behind the game give a great inside look to the final product.

The artwork is absolutely masterful, it is seriously crazy. And whether or not you’re a fan of the game, it’s great material for those who love Alice in all her incarnations.
