I know this guy he is a member on www.conceptart.org which I am a member of as well. In his gallery ad this creature is shown. In his bio on conceptart.org it states that he has been working on some top secret projects lately and that creature is not even in his actual gallery. I clicked on his gallery because when I saw the picture of the creature I was thinking this can be an artist working for Lanning. Perhaps it is squeek and the top secret project is indeed Squeek? There is a strange quinsidence going on here. Here is his gallery poster you can see that there is more to this than what we think. It looks like this thing is waring a funny suit. I can't get a larger picture because its a thumbnail image but interesting. Odd don't you think?

If you'd bothered to read the previous page, you'd have already seen the full image: http://imaginism.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d1xb1tg

It's pretty clearly not an Oddworld picture.

Why not?

... and take it easy, man!

Because it's wearing a dog costume and has just eaten a teddy bear.

Shit, I have to throw out all of my hard work on the new fanfic now. Double shit.

Are you fucking crazy, I said and I quote that the artist is working on a top secret project which could be Oddworld! I did read through all pages of this thread. I did find it interesting how I seen this creature before somewhere else. Its just funny how concept art.org did not have this creature in this guys gallery however it appears on his poster that advertises his gallery. Also the fact that he is working on some top secret project, which could include this creature, may be the reason its not in his gallery and could be Oddworld. Because right now, Oddworld is working on secret projects. It kind of points to Oddworld because its top secret. it makes sense.

ParamiteAbe, stop being so extraordinary. The image is publicly available on his DeviantArt profile. The title of it is "Death of Teddy". You can buy prints of it. Regardless of what you might suggest about Bobby Chou working on Oddworld things, this creature is not one of them.

Max is right, i mean look at all the graphic artist for oddworld, they don't just draw only oddworld characters they draw anything that they could imagine....
So yeah one of those creation might be mistaken for oddworld because of the style but its not :P

Yep. Also, the artist has at least one similar picture so it's just his style of art. It does look a bit like an Oddworld creature. Maybe that's why Lorne is a fan of his art. His art is odd. (In a good way.)

What I'm trying to say is that the creature is odd enough to be an Oddworld creature - ignore de dog costume and the teddy - Is that so hard to understand?

Okay, it's an odd looking creature. But Oddworld characters are designed with a specific purpose in mind. There is no reason why an Oddworld designer would draw an Oddworld creature wearing a Planet Earth dog costume and chewing a Planet Earth stuffed toy.

And even if there were some ineffable reason why he would do that, he wouldn't be allowed to display the image publically, or offer it for sale.

Because he wants us to think that this creature is not going to appear in any new games!
I'm not saying that it will appear, but we never know until the games come out, right?!

OANST 09-18-2010 07:32 AM

I heard that the Choupug rides a Unicorn in the new game.

CAN'T DISPROVE IT!

Yeh did you see his darth maul chibi picture as well? Maybe that's going into Oddworld, maybe there doing a merger with lucas arts...oddwars? No.
