🥀 Gates of Wonderland 🥀 (Alice: Return to Wonderland 🍓 Game Asset Creation Project)

Artwork created as a Game Asset creation project for university. The goal was to create a set of backgrounds and characters to be used in a game. The backgrounds have all been created with a specific character in mind, usual as it is their domain or home. This project aimed to be a retelling of the story of Alice In Wonderland, except with a slightly darker/gothic twist while also avoiding being Alice Madness Returns.

This character and environment is the Cheshire Twins guarding the entrance to The Gates of Wonderland. The foreground itself is framed with thorns and strawberry bushes, showing how this takes place after Alice falls down the well. Meanwhile, Wonderland itself is shown very obviously behind the gates. The inspiration for Wonderlands design is Junji Itos 'Uzumaki' and it's depiction of spirals as something that can drive someone crazy - therefore the bushes and clouds are all in a spiral pattern.
