The Agahnim one is hilarious to me because the wrong interpretation looks exactly like Andy Capp.
I think some official art of the Black Omen would clear things up. I looked for a bit today and couldn't find any. Does anyone have something that they could share?
There is no official art of the Black Omen, but its shape is something like this:
Pokemon Red and Green sprites sure were something.
I was super disappointed when I figured this out. The intended look is so goofy.
Also, the Gen 1 and 2 sprites for Metapod always threw me off. It only became clear later on when they changed position on the sprite.
From Pokemon Crystal. This NPC (who is actually a lady with long hair) looks like a Gloom when you talk to her while facing down. Seriously. It's fucking Gloom.
Not a sprite, but a related example most of us should be familiar with:

Those orange things are not the eyes.[/QUOTE]
HOLY CRAP I never knew that. Oh man, that makes me feel silly for how much I got upset at them cursing me. Stupid big eyes weren't eyes...
Im not seeing any Gloom.
For a while I thought the eyes were the red part, not the white on the side. The OG sprite didn't help, IMO.
Whaaaaaaat?? This is the first post that has totally corrected my weird perception. I always saw that icon as some abstract piece of equipment. This makes way more sense.
For my own contribution: some Lufia 1 sprites. I never understood why Gades' face looked so strange when he was facing towards you as a sprite. In every other instance he just looks like a normal (if evil) elf dude. But that sprite looks like a weird insect face.
The in-battle Daos design made sense to me, but I couldn't help occasionally seeing him as a bearded guy waving at someone.
Im not seeing any Gloom.
That is so weird. I mean, there's no way they made a sprite that complex with no reference on what it was supposed to be, but at the same time they never released concept art that surely existed of one of the most important elements in the game's story?
My whole life has been a lie.Black Omen from Chrono Trigger:
This is a major revelation for me, holy shit.Black Omen from Chrono Trigger:
What it looks like:
What it really is:
Because the top of the structure is really this part:
The Black Omen is a Star Destroyer and not some sort of weird-ass flying tower.
The peon portrait in Warcraft 2 threw me off for years. Probably due to his right eye just barely being visible so I hardly even noticed it.

It's weird more people didn't realize this, considering Armaldo is based on an animal with stalk eyes.For a while I thought the eyes were the red part, not the white on the side. The OG sprite didn't help, IMO.
Man, so many of you didn't seem to understand how shadows work if that thing looked like a tower to you...
I thought the shading under the tentacles were it's eyes, the yellow circle bits were it's nostrils and the yellow in it's "mouth" a buck tooth until I realized that was it's eye, it instantly became a hell of a lot cooler than the hick looking thing I saw before.
To you and anyone else talking about how the shadow makes it obvious...it doesn't. The shadow and silhouette of the ship are poorly designed, and should've been cast from another angle.

Haha Christ. I don't get how some of you misinterpret these things so badly.
Yup. I mean what the fuck else can it be? What are they supposed to be doing if it's not a bj? lol.
As a kid I always thought this was a walking tomato. It helps that SMW was my first Mario, so I wasn't super familiar with Goombas, but even so it looks nothing like them!
The wiki says it's actually a "Galoomba" so it's supposed to look different than a Goomba, but even so...
If I recall correctly both those weird not-goombas and regular goombas are featured in Mario Galaxy. But yeah, the (apparently) "Galoomba" is the only one that shows up in Mario World and it looks nothing like a Goomba and I have no idea why.

Errr, wouldn't the position of the shadow be influenced by the angle of the sun?
Agh from A Link to the Past.
