This image will serve as a base for one of the character's dreams and will be turned into one of the puzzles. I had the idea to paint something like this - a room with every shadow full of monsters rolling around in my head for months now. I also have a character in the game who's somewhat delusional and refuses to see the obvious, so I thought this idea for the dream would fit in.

This dream goes together with other assets I shared earlier and which you can see here as well. Together with the character itself, it's house and in this case also some monsters you can get a rough idea of what kind and how much artwork is needed for each of the puzzles.

The dreams- puzzles themselves can be pretty much any kind of image so my whole design philosophy is to try to make each one as different from the rest as possible and to challenge my art skills every time. The dream images are the hardest part of the game to make because of this, but this game was born primarily as a way to improve my artwork so I think that's for the best. Also experimenting with different art styles and subject matters keeps me interested in the project and motivated. Without that I might have dropped the game half finished a long time ago, but now it's finally approaching completion. More or less.
