Spore Creature Contest

[Guynemer]

I'll send in some entries tomorrow. Would you accept two from me and two from Galnemer, or only the two from the two of us together, as she isn't a Poly member?

[Adagio]

Galnemer? If she isn't a Poly member, how about creating a member profile for her?

I don't see any problems, as long you tell which creature belongs to who

[Guynemer]

Entered.

This is the last call for entering the competition. I'm getting the creatures ready for the battles. When done the competition starts and new entries will not be accepted

Remember, there are two spots for each player, some of you have only entered one creature

Wow, I didnt actually expect to win this. Hell, I didn't even remember thr thread until the third round. *blush*

A few random design comments that I remember from when I was making these:

The Brushstalker , I remember, being slightly unique in how I approached it. I literally remember just tinkering a lot with it, until I got a very low-to-the-ground appearance. But what really sold me on the look was the legs and how they moved. Having to do some tinkering to the body kinda lost the neat movement, but I still think it looks nice. Evidently others agree. Another thing that might be interesting is that, originally, the Brushstalker had leaves on its legs as well. But since they moved so wildly as the legs did, it didn't mesh with the idea of a creature that lived in long grass and wasn't noticed for it. I figured that a bunch of wildly-spazzing out grass wasn't much of a camo

The Sandbrat was a difficult one for me to design, because I wanted to have a creature that used an arm for a long neck. But that never turns out well when I do it, so I went for a bent-down effect. A LOT of tweaking was done to avoid having the head clip the legs or vice versa, which is a pet peeve of mine. I also remember doing a lot of work on the tail of the creature, because it didn't match up with the whole giant-bird thing I was going for.

So yeah, thanks everyone. Allow me to quote from my entry PM:

I expect to lose horribly - I can't do half of what others do - but oh well.

:-P

Me too, but the question is when will be the best time to do it? Should we wait until the game is released, then make a building, ufo or vehicle contest? Or do another creature contest that ends just before the game is released?

[Metaliturtle]

Do another one!

[Guynemer]

By the by, Galnemer thanks everyone for their support of Platytude.
