Welcome back fellow IPECAClings.

Is that what we’re calling you now? Who knows.

It’s me, Spearkiller, again, and today we’re doing something a wee bit different. We’ve left you in the dark for quite some time, and thought it would be good to do another blog post. As Main Artist, I suggested (and by suggested, I mean I went onto the site and started work on a blog post) that we do a post about graphical updates for sprites we had shown in the past. That’s why it’s called Mom’s Dressing Table. Get it? Cause that changes appearances? And that’s what this post is… about….

*Ahem* Anyway, here we are. Today we’re going to be showing you the improvements we’ve been doing in the art department for a long time now. And I thought it would be best to show off comparisons for sprites that we had shown in past festivals, so you’ve got something to compare it to.

Also, minor notice, all the items in this post have been fully coded, and we would love to show you gifs… except for the fact that we can’t, due to a few technical errors. In fact this is the reason this has been delayed so much. Sorry!

Are you ready? Then let’s begin!

BUT WAIT, before we get into the item changes, let me show you one major change that we’ve been working on for a while.

You maybe have noticed that we now have a new icon. Or, you may not have.

If you didn’t, here’s a PSA:

We have a new icon!



Yes, we feel that this looks far better than the old icon, that of the old sprite for Ipecac but coloured green. We feel that the simple I with two drops falling is much more simplistic and original, I guess. We’ve been slowly updating to this new change, which you, the people voted on in the Community Discord!

Okay, okay, on to the stuff you came to see, probably.

IPECAC Festival – Day 1: Gifts

On August 1st, all the way back in 2016, we did our first sprite reveals. Over a year later, we’re revealing them again. This time, we’re only revealing one. and this one has had probably the biggest makeover of all the sprites we’ve made.

Yes, it’s pregnancy test. Note that, even at the moment, the new sprite for it may not be final, as it is yet to be decided on by the higher-up’s, but then again, I think it gives you a fair idea on how much we’ve improved, wouldn’t you agree?



IPECAC Festival – Day 4: Eye See You

What an odd festival this was. A big wall of text and some weird scrawlings on paper. Unfortunately, nothing was really teased here. I.E, no sprites or item ideas or whatever. HOWEVER, at the bottom of the page was a cheeky little Cyclobin, who’s new sprite was shown off on our twitter page. But for those who didn’t see it because you don’t follow our twitter, which you should do, by the way, here it is again, in it’s new, high-quality designed, that was… well, designed by the great, the mighty, NotYourSaggitarius! Who I’m actually a really big fan of, just saying.



IPECAC Festival 2: Technically Not Lying

The second festival began on September 9th, 2016, and this post, written by DamnDude, who has since left our team ( 🙁 ), has gifted us with two items, one of which has an new sprite!

Unfortunately, it’s probably from the item that you wanted least.

The second sprite you see here was almost the decided sprite, until I decided to redo it, and I’m extremely happy that I did. It even got a pass from Mr. Gummy Kitten, one of the most experienced Isaac sprite artists I have ever met.

Fun fact about it though, that second sprite was one of the very first I made for the mod.

…Hence why it looks so terrible…

IPECAC Festival #3 – Day 3: Pageant Boy

How funny that the third post of the third festival that contained three item spoilers has had all three redesigned. What’s not funny is how hard to read that post is, good lord.

Of the three, we decided on Lil’ Dople, which had the most drastic change in appearance.

Quite the difference, aint it?

Side note: Keen eyed readers may have noticed in the Lil’ Dople gif that there was another item present, but never actually shown off.

Heck, it wasn’t even teased in Pedro’s usual, albeit strange fashion. I debated whether or not to keep its new sprite (yes it’s got one, otherwise I wouldn’t mention it) a secret…

But then I realized. This is gonna be a pretty short post, so maybe… just maybe….

Mom’s Dressing Table – PART 2:

We can’t do a blog post without a small spoiler or two.

Or three.

Death’s Sacrafice



As I alluded to in the part about Lil’ Dople, there was an item on a pedestal that, at the time, looked like a Cursed Skull that had been coated in red paint and put through a .jpeg machine. Well now, and I think you’ll agree, I think that it looks at least 5x better.

OH RIGHT, I forgot I had to write what it does. After writing this post 3 times, I’m used to only describing the art side of things.

Death’s Sacrifice is an unlimited use active item that, when used, deals 1 heart of damage to Isaac, in exchange for a damage up, though not in a normal sense.

When this item is held, when killing an enemy, you will also deal a trace amount of damage to all other enemies in that room, with each use increasing this amount.

Although, when travelling down a floor, all the blood imbued in the skull seeps out, and you must stock it up again if you wish to continue mass slaying your foes,

Greed’s Soul



Greed’s Soul is a familiar that follows you around and shoots a 3-way shot of Head of the Keeper tears. Sounds pretty basic, but there’s more.

Little greedy boy here seems to get stronger the greedier you are, and is yearning for an opportunity to take over your bodily vessel.

Yeah, I know I said “but there’s more”, but I bet you didn’t expect it to be that small amount more.

It’s a familiar, what do you expect?

Lovely Eyes



Speaking of Head of the Keeper, Lovely Eyes is an item similar to it in functionality. When your tears hit an enemy, there is a small chance that they will drop half a heart. Sounds pretty meh, but if you mainly use red HP, or have Dark Bum, you’re in for one heck of a run.

Well, that’s your lot. a new icon, 7 updated sprites, 3 of which for items you’d never seen before, and a new look for the mod. That’s more than you’d normally get out of one of these, aint it?

Remember to follow our wordpress and our twitter so you don’t miss any posts, and why not join our Discord while you’re at it, we’d love to hear your thoughts on our up and coming things for the mod that are too small to put in one post.

Right. I’m off to bed now. Nighty night.
