Thanks for the ideas Aidas, I really like the dinosaur pedestals! The skeletons are also very cool, I'm gonna keep an eye on them if I get stuck! I'm not used to have pixel art references cause I don't want my result to be similar to other pixel art pieces, so for this specific theme I'm using 360° 3D models and photos I took myself 5 years ago in Florence!

In Tap! Dig! Museum! you build the skeletons piece by piece so it might still be able to help you with ideas for "bits" even if you want to avoid being too influenced by the full skeletons. I really appreciate that you don't want to be influenced though. Once you're done with your museum updates I'd recommend playing the game, however, as it is very charming.
(As an aside, the museum updates are what finally convinced me I had to buy this pack, even though I will probably never use it, because I just love looking at your art so much, and how hard you work to make original art, and I wanted to chip in a little bit that I could afford.)
