CHALLENGE: Monstered Valentine

We are pausing the Pixel Loop for a week to have a challenge invented by Queen Kami.

Love is in the air… not for all of us, but the big corporates still want us to consume the Heart themed Holiday, like it or not they’ll shove this overused holiday in your throat, but we can rebel (a little). Sooo, make a monster sprites themed around Valentine, you can make it pink, heart shaped, cute, roses.  Let’s this monstrous holiday begin!
