Title: *** Spoilery art inspiration question for Derek.
Post by: Quemaqua on December 15, 2007, 09:31:10 pm
When my wife heard that you guys hang out on this board fairly regularly, she insisted I ask this question upon threat of death.  So I'm posting it, because I like my skull the way it is: intact.



*** Spoilers in text, plus related (but not game-related) images ***



Were any of your designs for the ghost/memory people in the Sunken City inspired by Edward Gorey (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Gorey)?  She found them very Gashlycrumb Tinies-esque, and I kinda' saw it too once she pointed it out to me.

I love Edward Gorey... and Derek and I definitely talked about Edward Gorey several times.

But I don't know if he drew on that inspiration for that part of the game or not?

waits for Derek to answer...
