Three Demonic Pigs
🕑 Added 2021-02-10 01:24:08 +0000 UTCDear Insane Children,
I've just finished a review and feedback session on all the art and design content that was delivered during "The Time of The Move" and... Wow!
Of this illustration by Norm, Omri says...
i think we ought to add some weapons and i'm thinking like babies holding weapons, perhaps crawling or on all fours. Like toddlers and perhaps pepper mills or something that fits the concept
To which I replied...
AMAZING, @normanfelchle
@Omri a milk bottle, rattle (sonic weapon), a dirty diaper, a sonic weapon cry/scream (baby screaming mixed with pig screaming), toxic farts, ... just a few of the things I could imagine as weapons for this little guy. On a more surreal side - might be fun to let him fly?
Let us know in the comments below what ideas you have about the sorts of Weapons and Actions this little monster might employ.
Remember, this enemy is a companion-creature of The Duchess. And we'll find them sprinkled around The Vale of Tears and protecting The Duchess' Manor.
Move Update
Still unpacking and organizing things around the new house. Our warehouse area has expanded by more than double. That's nice because it means we're no longer packing art prints and stuff in our living room! But it's un-nice because it means lots (and lots) of warehouse-related stuff we have to unpack, organize, and build new infrastructure around. And if we continue at this rate... by the end of 2021 we'll be looking to move all this stuff into a proper warehouse. Yikes!
But I am also checking tasks off the Alice3/Mysterious Studios list as we go... hopefully things will be back to normal soon.
Chinese New Year
We're a day away from the official start of Chinese New Year. 95% of the country is already shut down and enjoying this, the largest annual celebration in the world. So we will have a few days of rest here. And if you ordered anything from Mysterious - or are waiting on posters/stuff from our Patreon rewards, expect a bit of a delay.
Back with more art and design updates soon.
From Shanghai with A Pig,

(Lucky was born in The Year of the Pig - and he shoots deadly farts).

Lol the toxic farts got me ! I agree with all these but when I think of pigs I think of slaughter houses so maybe some slaughter hooks and knives ? :) babified lol
Austin Hanson
.... I almost thought it was the three little pigs nursery rhyme and then realized it would be interesting to see Alice tangle with some of the darker tales from the brothers Grimm stories.
Saleh Abu-Rashid
Is he supposed to represent the childish and ungrateful children? I say give him a pacifier that he can shoot with.
If the pigs fly would Alice need an umbrella?

The kids on all fours sounds like a hoard of miniature cart titans 😂
OOOOH THATS A GREAT IDEA!!!
Wendy Jaa
And Duchess births a new weapon
More great ideas and successful work for you in the New Year!
What about a rattle made out of a dead rat (get it?) I could see the rat's tail being the handle and as you shake it the thing vibrates and has a sonic distortion. A secondary part would be to hit Alice with it. If the rattle misses Alice the rat throws up toxic bile and parts of its intestines. Gross fun all around. I live the birthing idea Austin Cook had. Reminds me if Dante's Inferno but "Aliceified" the grosser the better. I still get chills thinking about that dutchess. Hoping you're having a little bit of relaxation after the hectic move. Can't wait for streams to start up again. I just love hearing your banter with Martin.
American McGee
Done ;)
Maybe take out his full email?
Okay but I think if we are going to fight the Dutchess and her pig babies I think we should do it right and gross lol so imagine if while we are fighting her she suddenly becomes wracked with birthing pains. Then *plop* a bloody baby pig comes out covered in viscera and chasing you with sharp objects! But what if to make it more complicated they just keep coming and coming and coming and the only time you can actually hit the Dutchess is when she is giving birth to another pig! And at the end of the battle surrounded by baby pig corpses you receive a new weapon like the one that was suggested! Lol I gotta say its been awhile since I've had such a good idea! But I think it works!!!
I love the art I like the idea of a sonic weapon - disorientating for a second or two, which could possible interrupt alice's actions? maybe a "mini boss" version that can fly? with lots of underlings that can't?
Stephanie Groth
Love the "attack toddlers" idea. Like a twisted version of the cartoon Rugrats!
