And finally, with the back sprite only being completed today we have the Halloween Escartress!
The first idea was to have a mausoleum with Gastlys and Haunters floating around it, and a Gengar sneaking around the back. But I felt the issue with the drastically altered scale would be too much to ignore. Then I also came into the problem of realizing that most mausoleums are actually really, really small. So this one was based on the mausoleum at Halicarnassus, the very first mausoleum in human history and one of the ancient wonders of the world. The next idea was to have it surrounded by smaller gravestones and a wrought iron fence, but aside from not adding much color, getting the fence to register properly would've been a pain in the ass at best, and impossible at worst. That's when I had the idea to have a nondescript evil orb bust up the columns and roof of the tower and infest the Escartress with darkness, not only providing a nice new visual element for the tower, but also providing a way to add some flair to the ghost part of the sprite, which was needed since it no longer had apendages to work with.
