Here's an idea I can see a lot of people enjoying: Zombified or skeletal versions of the LPC farm animals.
Just leaving this out here because I tried and failed many times to make animations look good in the LPC style :P
Is it ok to make more than one submission?
Hi RUOK
If I recall, in previous challenges, multiple entries are allowed. I see no reason to change this :)

Here's a quick art entry! Some 2D assets of improvised melee weapons.
Had fun making these. If I have time in a few days, I might make more items before the challenge time ends :)
