    I want to make a puzzle where the items are inside the chests and when the players opens a chest they see the item inside the chest.

    I first had a grey sort of metal chest but it's from a dlc that I don't remember (it just says chests when you choose the type of picture), so I went and changed it the simple standard wooden chests with iron lining (bottom left).

    I want to do a puzzle with different coloured eggs (so you'd have a row of whatever of chests and the player has to take the right egg out) and maybe another with miscellaneous items. I haven't figured out the puzzle/riddle yet which will determine which item(s) the player has to take and place.

    So what I'd need: the event pictures of opened chests with an item in them and event pictures of these items separate (so that the player can place them somewhere).

    It would probably help more if I had the puzzle and the items and such. I'd like to keep the graphics as normal as possible (so that they still fit with the standard graphics without looking all weird like the mythos and High Fantasy packs).

    You want a unique chest for every single item you'll be using? I would not recommend doing it this way at all. For one thing, it's going to add a lot of files, for another, isn't the sprite going to be blocking the view of the item inside the chest when they go to open it? I think there's an item popup script that would work much better for you, and if it doesn't it still sounds like something you'd want a script for. If you're adamant about this you're going to have to provide the graphics or information for every single item you are going to be using, just saying "I want a bunch of items" isn't enough info for any artist to complete this. Also, it's a huge task, if you're expecting us to make all those item graphics it may be a request better suited for a recruitment thread.
