Every time I need to write a post I realize that there are plenty of pictures I haven’t shared with you yet. Sometimes I am just exhausted by the game I was completing. …or I simply forgot about them. Usually, they crop up after a certain event, like this one: when Graphite passed away, I was browsing my guinea pig sketches and discovered these characters I designed for our Piggily game.

Although the result is much more minimalist, humans and guinea pigs are equally impressed by it. Nothing proves it better that it is almost impossible to lure the piggies out from there. They’ve become very interactive and funny over the three years we’ve spent together, but they still prefer to stay in there and we have to caress them from outside. The basic idea of ​​the game was based on this fact. Nothing is more difficult than luring a fed, spoiled pig out of her ...
