Knave of Hearts and Pumpkin Farts
🕑 Added 2019-10-16 00:23:53 +0000 UTCDear Insane Children,
Omri sends along early concept sketches for a "Knave of Hearts" character we might find (and fight) in the Queen of Hearts domain. Of this idea he says,
Knave of hearts in the original Alice in wonderland story stole the tarts and Alice was blamed for doing it.
i think he can be a cool mini-boss. in hebrew he is called "the prince" i actually have no clue what is a "Knave" besides being a dishonest character.
i imagine him like the School's bully, the principal's son, in other words, the Queen's son. "she told me to stop you" kind of character.
we just explored this concept so these are super early development ideas. can you please post them on Patreon and tell me your opinion?
i like him as a huge dumb character, he feels like the third sibling of the Tweedles.
Works for me! What do YOU think?
Let us know in the comments below!
And one of Jennifer's friends tried out the carving templates on an actual pumpkin. The result is pretty impressive!
You can grab the templates from THIS POST.
If you carve your own, let us know! Share it on social media with #americanmcgee or email it to us at support (at) mysterious (dot) design

i know right?
Pumpkin turned out pretty, Knave being like a third tweedle in behavior and personality sounds about right haha.
A knave is typically a tricky or deceitful person or a male servant. I would agree that the knave could be a cool mini boss. If later he ended up helping Alice, I would say it would come from a place of self-centered motivation. Being the Queen's son would be too lofty of a position- maybe he could be a servant who lied about many things to make himself rise to a higher position.
since he's meant to be dishonest, i think it would be cool to have his character complex instead of a simple, petty person. Like maybe have the Knave be in denial of something or being a cunning, two face enemy that turns out to be on Alice's side.
Definitely not Adam Driver
I agree Knave of Hearts could be a good mini boss.

Never understood that character in the second book or in the movies. Slim one fit to the game, but maybe to close to Hatter yet.
Juan Romero
I like the skinny one more, but I think he’d be more interesting if he was intelligent instead of dumb, is’t more scary, like Mordred, the son of Morgana Le Fay from the movie Excalibur, that character is an insolent child that really scares me every time!
How do I unsee Lord Farquad? 😭😂

Love the knave of hearts concept. Trying to decide if I like the pudgy or the skinny one... Skinny one reminds me of Lord Farquad from Shrek a bit - small, annoying, pretentious, twerpish But the pudgy one feels new and interesting- I'm imagining soiled, spoiled, gross, and oafish- maybe even like Alice's age range and like trying to make a deal that if she'll go out with him he wont be so mean; could work for either design really.
I'm loving the art for the Knave of Hearts! And I'm planning on trying my hand at one of the templates. Hopefully I will have a picture or three for everyone later.
