American McGee and Manticore Games is launches ‘Through the Looking Glass’ art contest

Well, this looks like fun. Check out the goods below.

In collaboration with game designer American McGee, best known for his “Alice” series of games, Manticore Games is launching “Through The Looking Glass,” an Alice in Wonderland-themed 3D art contest that will run May 1–31. McGee has provided concept art to inspire contestants as they work to create scenes and environments using Core, a free platform for making and playing games.

Contestants can use thousands of Core’s free assets, ranging from simple primitive shapes to complex materials and intricate props, which can be kit-bashed together to capture the beauty and horrors of what awaits Alice as she tumbles down the rabbit hole.

Winners will be announced on June 5, with prizes ranging from thousands of dollars in Amazon cash to American McGee-signed concept art and a full portfolio review from Core’s lead artists.
