A Darker Alice In Wonderland

When I told my friend I was creating two 3D environments inspired by Alice In Wonderland he sent me this link; http://xahlee.org/p/alice/alice_am.html.




These images are from the video game American McGee's Alice. I really like the whole different spin this puts on Alice In Wonderland. I don't think I'd ever be able to create something this extraordinary in 3D, but it's something to aim for I suppose. The detail is amazing and someone has clearly spent a long time thinking this through, designing and creating it. It always stuns me how something this brilliant can be created in 3D.

Quote from Wikipedia;
Set years after Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass, Alice features an older, more cynical and macabre incarnation of Alice.
Alice's parents are killed in a fire. Driven catatonic and having attempted suicide (note her bandaged wrists), she is institutionalised in Rutledge Asylum. Years later Alice is called by the White Rabbit to the aid of a radically altered Wonderland, under threat from the Red Queen, the evil despot who has enslaved its people. The Cheshire Cat is a frightening incarnation, and is her constant companion throughout the game, popping up now and again to guide the player or offer advice.

Here is a video from the game that can be found on the address above and on YouTube.
