Arty the Artifact & Benny the Socktopus

Little update on my previous to do list, here's how it's looking now!

- Sprites for the pickup items
- A button for the pickup
- A wheel sprite with spikes on it
- Sprites for spikes
- Speech bubbles for narrative
- A sprite for Arty
- A sprite for Benny
- Carrot checkpoint sprite
- Sock collectibles for Benny's level

Let's take a look at what's crossed off so far.

Firstly, the speech bubbles, well, these took around 5 mins each, and i'm not one bit happy with them, but there's so much to do, and I feel these just aren't important enough to waste time on, but anyway, here's how they look;

They're definitely simple, but since they won't appear too much, I think they'll serve their purpose just fine! Moving onto the sprites themselves. Arty. He's Hops little mechanical companion, who helps Hop navigate around the world of the void and other dimensions like it, however, in-game, we didn't feel like he needed a special sprite, but instead, a navi role (we all love ocarina of time, right?), so I decided to have him as a little glow light following you around.

This next character is Benny, he's the best character ever, a socktopus! And personal favorite of James Burtons :) so I had to do him proud, I had a lot of fun making Benny because he's just so vacant minded and simple, I hope you like the sprites!

Benny the socktopus has lost all his socks!

Just a quick note, Dimension Hops third level will consist of the players helping Benny find his 6 missing socks, to which I gave different designs (From my own actual socks!), here's a look at them;

^_^ And after you collect all the socks, let's not forget the reward, making Benny happy once more! This one's for you Mr.Burton!!
