The Wedding Portrait
Real short, real stupid game made for Bitsy Jam 74 - The Little Things.
Play an incompetent painter and clutter up a perfectly nice wedding portrait with all sorts of early renaissance doodads and impossible objects.
I made this danged thing in a real rush so it's probably full of bugs. (The online editor DID NOT like this file!)
If you find something weird or game-breaking, let me know!
The ending screen was produced with Pixsy the existence of which I am very thankful for. No way am I drawing all those 8x8 tiles myself!
The portrait is of course based (and... an improvement???) on the Arnolfini Portrait by Jan van Eyck, although I also stole from Holbein's The Ambassadors and Durer's Melencolia I. Maybe we can all pretend this version of the Arnolfini Portrait was painted by van Eyck's mysterious brother Hubert, who was a time traveling plagiarist.
Thanks for playing :)

It was really sweet, thanks for that.
I loved this, great idea and great execution!
Thank you so much!
Very fun puzzle game. I really liked the fade effects between rooms. The portrait at the end was priceless!
Thank you! I had a lot of fun drawing those two disappointed renaissance nobles.
This was a lot of fun! I love the avatar of the funky lil painter and all the references to art pieces.
Thanks, I’m glad you liked it! I pretty much started with that wiggling painter and worked from there.
