Attention Cosplayers, Spicy Horse Is Looking For The Worlds Best ‘Alice’ Cosplayer
Just as Warner Brothers/Grasshopper Manufacture did to find Juliet Starling for Lollipop Chainsaw, Spicy Horse will be doing to find their real life Alice. Spicy Horse is in the works of getting a Kickstarter campaign going to for Alice: Otherlands. A spiritual successor to the American McGee’s Alice series. The winner will be involved with the filming of the Kickstarter pitch video which will be filmed in Shanghai China. Head past the break to find out how to enter!
The full instructions are:
• Send only one image of yourself dressed as Alice – preferably in her “classic” blue and white dress.
• Image should capture the entire costume from black hair to boot heels.
• Image should be no larger than 2MB. Save in JPG, GIF, or PNG format.
• Send via email to contact@spicyhorse.com
• Include name, age, country of origin, contact information, and a brief introduction of yourself
• All Submissions due by 5/20/2013
The full requirements are:
• Must be able to travel to Shanghai, China during June 2013 for the video shoot
• This means: Must have a passport, be of legal age to travel, and have the time to obtain a travel visa.
• Must speak English (to read lines for the video).
• Failure to abide by these guidelines will result in disqualification.
This contest in no way guarantees that Alice: Otherlands will enter production or succeed in its planned Kickstarter campaign as negotiations may still stall or fall through.

In the grim darkness of the far future there is only war, but it was a cheerful illustrator from England who helped to define the terrifying war-torn imagery that inspired what we now know as Grimdark (a hybrid genre combining horror with sci-fi/fantasy).
Unfortunately for fans of Warhammer 40,000, Trench Crusade and countless other sources of Grimdark thrills, veteran artist John Blanche passed away this week after struggling with health issues for the past few years.
While the artist retired back in 2023, he leaves us with an enormous legacy of iconic artwork that continues to inspire gamers and storytellers around the world to this very day.
The news is especially gloomy as it was only last year that Daniel Lowman and Napoleon Dynamite himself Jon Heder released The Grim & the Dark: The Search for John Blanche, a documentary following Heder’s exploration of the Grimdark genre culminating in a heartwarming encounter with Blanche in his own home.
Below is one of my favorite pieces by Blanche, his highly influential depiction of Warhammer 40k’s God-Emperor of Mankind on his Golden Throne.
We send our deepest condolences to John Blanche’s family, friends, and fans.
