Togetherness mechanic

I've been noodling away at some drawings to illustrate the game's key mechanic during the weekend.

Illustrator and a paper texture came to the rescue:

  

If the characters become separated in the game the world turns dark and sinister. Different objects and characters are then available to interact with, but Otis and Fawn can't stay apart for too long.

To Illustrator:

I still need to add some kind of object or character in the environment that changes between the two images, but the base is there.
