Description
Alice Liddell from Alice: Madness Returns, and American McGee's Alice. Madness Returns is still one of my favourite games from that generation and I'm a little surprised I never drew anything for it until now.

I wasn't even especially planning on it. I didn't know what to draw and I was just making random scribbles on a scrap paper trying to figure out something to do. One of the scribbles had a wide top or shoulders, a very skinny abdomen, and a wide lower body. I guess I was thinking of drawing some sort of exaggerated humanoid, but it started reminding me of Alice with the puffy shoulder things and the skirt going outwards.

In that way, it was pretty similar to my old Scribble Monsters ( www.deviantart.com/eric-3/gall… ) where I would make random scribbles and then try to draw what I see in them.

I am still trying to play with exaggerated features and proportions and I think it helped that the art style of Madness Returns is already exaggerated. So drawing it how I did didn't look out of place to me compared to when I would try to exaggerate my own characters that normally wouldn't look like this.

I drew the final lines rougher than usual. This was mostly as a way to try to be more loose with the lines rather than fuss over everything being neat, clean, and precise. I was hoping it would make the process more relaxed for me, and I guess it did make it a little easier. Fortunately the look also worked well with the subject.

As aggressive and violent as some of my drawings are, I'm not really into putting blood in them. I don't have a problem with it; I just don't generally think it's necessary for my stuff.

Alice's design has blood on it though, so I had to put it on to be more accurate. Since it was already there, I figured I'd put it all over her to have it go more with the whole battle-damaged look. I was going to put dirt marks over her anyway, so this is kind of like dirt marks that are just a different colour.

I spent almost an hour (maybe more...I don't remember) just doing the patterns on the Vorpal Blade with a mouse, only for most of it to be covered up with blood later.

Blah blah blah too lazy to do a proper background.
This was going to be the setting of the final battle, but in the end I couldn't get things to work out.

I drew this over a month ago and I'm only now getting it done. That's slow even for me.
