Though pixel art is not my style, I wanted to tackle twisted looking creatures for our game Somnipathy.

We were trying to imagine what something looked like in the dark, to try and push the shape of our household items. @WhiskeyBadger made some great strides to get the pixel art where it is now. I really wanted to make a lamp look like a cat, but I needed to find a way to make it maniacal. In the end, this is how he was sketched out. And c’mon, every game needs a cat.

The stove seemed like another item that could look quite posessed, but figuring out what it would look like was my next challenge. I stretched and morphed its geometry until I came up with this concept. My favorite part is the eyes, which are gas stove grates!
