..... bzzzzzzt
Thanks, Joey!
The main image (top) is Joey's original illustration. Below that (above) is an edited version from Omri. This illustration depicts Young Alice in the first scenes of the game and will be one of the first images you see in the Alice: Design Bible.
That's a snipped from Monday - where the task was original described and assigned. Alex drew a placeholder sketch to give some sense of what the final image might look like.
Of her latest illustration (main image, above) Joey says:
At first I want to show the trees with snow gathered on their branches, then I feel that's too normal, so I made those snow melt like ice, shall be much prettier.
I didn't add too many stuff here in this image, but I am wondering, maybe we hang sth. on those icy trees, like christmas tree, some weird stuff? I feel that might be too crowded for a single image, so I kept the trees clean, just put some item on the snow, and blood stains, too. I can take them off if you still feel "too crowded"
And Alex and Omri chimed in with feedback about the feet (blue) and other elements... but no one mentioned anything about the EYES BEING BLUE. Wtf, ya'll? That's going to make people go CRaZY!
So I've told them to fix that for the final version. But here's Blue-Eyed Alice to make you all go nuts for a while. Enjoy it (or not) while it lasts.
Design Bible Update + Live Stream
Oh, and Alex just sent me a big new update on the Design Bible - here's a sample page...
And we'll go through that on the Live Stream tomorrow. Usual time and place.
And I'll upload that new Design Bible PDF here on Patreon in a separate post before the Live Stream.

I like it the one with the cat in the moon is my favorite and hope there will be prints of it sooner or later.
Isn't her rabbit bigger then something she can cup in her hand? The rabbit looks a bit small to me especially since in most art it looks bigger with grown up alice.
As usual Joey makes me want everything she does as a print.

Looking good!
I love the extra stuff -especially Chess as the moon, but it bugs me that her legs are turning to icicles but she's standing in a melted patch. I get you want the ground around her to be differentiable from the background, but maybe something else? Tentacles implied in the ground maybe?
It's so wonderful! When I see this art, I call to mind the scene in the game, when Alice falls from the window. This art absolutely like I imagined Alice inside — she starts to be petrified beginning from legs.

it makes me think if there is a reason why her eyes are green. Was it a reason behind it or is that it just looks cool? eyes color is funny, I sometimes can't tell a persons eyes color from memmory, I had to search it for Alice's!!
She does look a little bit white walker with those eyes. Love the image, blue feet were too blue, the snow on the trees does have some slightly creepy shapes going on but then I see faces and creepy shapes in lots of stuff. Chesh in the moon is cool I think, could a hint of him be kept? The design bible page looks fantastic

Oh whoops. 😬 I reread the post multiple times to make sure I wasn't mistaken, but there I go skipping the one line where you say "...I've told them to fix that for the final version." Sorry about that!

I like that idea but we'd get yelled at for retcon'ing or something.

Her eyes are not blue.
Nicholas Brokaw
The design bible pages are looking very nice too! Lots of info in a very readable form 👍
Nicholas Brokaw
Great update! Maybe I missed this somewhere, but why are her eyes blue? If I knew the reason it might change my mind, but at the moment I don't care much for the blue eyes.
That's a really beautiful concept. It looks as though she's got a Heterochromia (one green eye, one blue eye). That's actually a neat eyedea!! 💕
