Pictoimage's boxart is inspiring

It's appropriate that a game about drawing should have some nice art on its cover, in order to get players in an
art mood right away. We happen to enjoy
Pictoimage's boxart, which was also used in Japan, a
lot. The little characters are somewhere between Miis and MySims, and the literal nature of the art (which basically depicts eight friends
playing Pictoimage instead of anything that happens in
Pictoimage) gives the cover a sort of "board game" feeling. As if
Pictoimage were something you brought out during gatherings to help break the ice. We're also fond of the spectating pets, who just seem happy that their human friends are having such a good time drawing.
While researching, we found something else about
Pictoimage that makes us happy: the game was developed by Skonec, creators of the wacky horror puzzle game
Joshikousei Nigeru! When you play
Pictoimage, be sure to draw some
gaping-mouthed dudes as a tribute.
