We're Two are Mad Here

Greetings Insane Children!

Wow! We're only a few Patrons away from our 555 goal and unlocking the Inmate Certificates. In case you had a straight jacket pulled up over your head and don't know what I'm talking about... when we reach 555 patrons I'll print, sign, and deliver unique and numbered Inmate Certificates to everyone who is a Patron at the end of January. 

Yes, certificates will be made and delivered to as many Patrons as we have at the end of the month. But to be eligible you must be among the "processed" Patrons for the month of January (as in, your pledge for the month was captured). Pledge level doesn't matter - this is a gift to ALL Patrons - but you MUST supply your mailing address. 

Please, DO NOT message us directly with your address. Go to your Patreon Pledge Settings and you'll find a place to input your mailing address. (Perhaps one of you who has done this successfully can provide step-by-step instructions in the comments below?) 

The certificates themselves will be designed in February and mailed out in March. I'm traveling for most February, so I won't be around to sign them - and we can't design/print them until we know the final number of Patrons for the month. Anyway, that gives everyone plenty of time to ensure addresses are in the system. Yay! 

Meanwhile...

Feast your eyes upon two fantastic new images from Omri! 

He's done up Emily Browning and India Eisley as Alice! I have to say... and it's not just because we have "country names" - but India as Alice... WOW. 

Let me know what you think! Leave your comments below and we'll go through them during the next live stream. 

Did someone say LIVE STREAM?! Why yes! We've scheduled another for this week. Friday morning, 0930AM Hong Kong Time. CLICK HERE to head over to YouTube and set an alarm. That will also provide you with a handy countdown clock. Don't be late!

This next live stream will be VERY IMPORTANT. Why? Because we'll take our first look at the draft outline of the presentation being built for EA. This is a text-only affair, so set your expectations accordingly. It mainly goes through the basics of the deal/development structure and is pretty light on design/narrative stuff... but all in due time. Please join the stream to provide your feedback and comments. 

Once we have the presentation in a more interesting format I'll start sharing it with Patrons via Early Access ;) 

A bit of housekeeping...

Martin and I packed up the art prints for December - Hatter in his Workshop. Those are now awaiting pickup and will start making their way to you. Delivery time is usually around 4~5 weeks. 

"House of Fire and Fury" is at the printers and should also ship out this week or early next week.

Martin is putting together a final list of Patrons who will receive a Chaos Necklace. We need to send eligible Patrons a Survey Monkey in order to know what size necklace you want (Large or Small) - so expect to see that in your inboxes soon. 

Lastly, we've added a new "Sponsor" tier per a Patron suggestion. This high-level tier grants the Patron(s) on-screen promotion of their brand, live-stream shout outs, etc... so if you or someone you know has a business or brand they'd like promoted (while at the same time supporting our creative efforts) - you could point them towards that ;)

Hope to see you all during the upcoming live stream!

Gorgeus!

oh nooooo I missed the inmate cards :(

These images look really cool, though I would have to agree with others, who have stated that an animated movie would be the best for Alice. Like the Final Fantasy films (except for The Spirits Within), this would keep the games and film in the same media format and doesn’t make another entry into the β€˜bad movie based on a great video game’ genre. I was unable to make it to the live stream, due to working, but did watch it after and looking forward to seeing the presentation in its final format. Congratulations on making over 555 pledges, looking forward to seeing the certificate and getting it framed and added to my Alice collection.

those are some awesome pictures there, American McGee. i do follow you on Twitter (but under a different username).

For Asylum yes, but for the movie I think it'll be the actress own voice.

I have a question: will Alice have the same voice actor?

Hello all ! I was just thinking of Jane Levy (Evil Dead remake) for Alice. I don't know... You ? <a href="http://image.noelshack.com/fichiers/2014/21/1400868094-pbrs58k.jpg" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://image.noelshack.com/fichiers/2014/21/1400868094-pbrs58k.jpg</a>

You will not be charged until the following month after the month you are supporting. For example, you just pledged for January, Patreon will not charge you until February 1 - 5. Those who got charged between January 1 - 5, are patrons who has pledged during the December month. Hope this helps.

I really love India as Alice! Absolutely devilish and stunning! Emily has this soft side of her though, that would add innocence to the character I think. After seeing her in Unfortunate Events and Sucker Punch, I think she would be a quite good (especially commercial) choice for Alice.

Exactly. A lot of these actresses would look pretty, yet deliver all their lines totally flat. One of the things I worry about concerning a Chinese actress/film is whether or not they would understand sarcasm. (Isn't that a cultural difference in humor that our cultures have? I'm not sure).

Please, consider gathering Sonny's first four character designs in one print. I'd totally choose it for my three month reward.

Make Nine Inch Nails great again

How do we make sure our pledge is processed? I pledged recently but it said it won't charge me til February.... how can I manually get it processed? :/

Wow they both look amazing as Alice! Not sure who I like the best honestly❀ as long as they can get her personality and mannerisms I'll be a happy inmate 😊

Really not sure why, but from where I'm seeing it, parts of my comment has been cropped off in the right side /:

*dreamy sigh* I love the idea of American's Alice being made into a movie. I know that the idea is to have someone with a bit of clout portray Alice (and/or get the ball rolling), but in a way, I almost feel like any of the actors in the drawings we have seen will do.. IF .. and to me this is the most important part.. IF they can nail the snark in her personality. I know a big part of that has to do with who would write it, but the method of delivering one of Alice's lines can make or break an Alice for me. Don't get me wrong, I pretty much have been going back and forth on which images feel like Alice to me, but if you find someone who can nail her essence of her personality, and they don't look like her, I'd almost vote anime or animated movie. Almost. ;)

If anyone wants to start an art cult with Omri as our leader, I'm so game &lt;3 - aka his images are unbelievably gorgeous, as always &lt;3 That being said, I think AngelaBaby is the best fit for Alice, so far. Solely based on headshape, Emily Browning and India Eisley has rather squared heads/jaws, where AngelaBabys seem closer to Alices more narrow/pointy chin. Maybe I'm being nitpicky. I think Fiona Dourif's natural features comes veeery close to our Alices. ;ostly, when she's not all dolled up, with a lot of make-up (a wee bit difficult to find pictures like that with a google search, but I managed) - no dick pics, promise!: <a href="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/M/MV5BMmI5ZDhmNmQtNzBiNi00OTRjLWExYmEtODE4MjRhNzFmYjllXkEyXkFqcGdeQXVyMjIzODMwNzg@._V1_UY1200_CR85,0,630,1200_AL_.jpg" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/M/MV5BMmI5ZDhmNmQtNzBiNi00OTRjLWExYmEtODE4MjRhNzFmYjllXkEyXkFqcGdeQXVyMjIzODMwNzg@._V1_UY1200_CR85,0,630,1200_AL_.jpg</a> <a href="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/scribalpublishing-prod/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/16164042/Fiona_Dourif.jpg" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/scribalpublishing-prod/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/16164042/Fiona_Dourif.jpg</a> Sorry, if this is a bit off topic (: Love the way things are going, and look forward to the next live stream!

Exciting to see the goal being reached so soon for the inmate certificates. Both young ladies look nice as Alice, I trust things will work out whoever we end up with in the future. Good luck with all those signatures, so many hand cramps I imagine.

I'm loving the Emily Browning design, she looks amazing and I've always imagined Emily playing Alice if it ever became a movie!

Hah! I was going to suggest India Eisley, good to see someone else had the same thought.

I really think that the Alice image is stunning. However, she is not what I expect Alice to be. It's something about the face shape. In my mind this is a beautiful square face but in my opinion she needs to be more heartshape/diamond. But I can't wait to hear if this picture is what you guys vision of Alice is. I trust you completely tho. Hope that the person from the last live stream has finished Mark Hamil as Alice. Can't wait for that πŸ˜‚
