Creature creation
 
In this thread you can create your own creatures, think about one, and then post something like this:

"(species name)"
(picture of the creature)
Info: (Some information about the creature)
Life span: (How many time creature lives)
Home: (Where creature lives)
Type: (Native/wildlife/industrial/unknown)

I'll make my creature later.

Maybe it would be useful to some RPG.

Rich 12-10-2004 01:43 PM

This is a great idea, many topics like this have been sucessful. I'll try and think of something :)

Oddude_ 12-10-2004 10:45 PM

Doesn't anybody else interested?

Software Bug 12-10-2004 10:54 PM

This creature is always hanning around at Doelaz Industrial due to the idial Industrial gasses.
These animals are wildlife,
but like the industrial gasses.
They breed in the industial pipes but only 2% of the eggs survive bechause glukkons dont like it when eggs are in their pipes...
Life span: 1 1/2 year
Home: Industrial fields of Doelaz Industrial
Type: Wildlife-Industrial

odd chick 12-10-2004 10:54 PM

I think this is a really good idea. I can't think of anything at the moment, but I'll create something later!

Jaweele
 
"Jaweele"
NO PICTURE YET, MY SCANNER IS BROKEN

After some trainings, jaweeles are the ultimate killing machine.
Life span: 26 years
Home: Industrial factories
Type: Wildlife-Industrial

Rich 12-12-2004 03:12 AM

I made this up last night and drew it in paint this morning. See the attached picture.

Name: Snerf (could inspired by the Smurfs!)

Info: Species is Industrialised by Glukkons. They are slow to react and have weak bodies. They are distinguished by their long nose and lack of a mouth. Glukkons use them as Industrial vacuum cleaners as their nose can snuff anything. This means they have no sense of hearing due to the deafening noise they make. An interesting feature is that when they inhale, air rushes into a chamber that expands, thus they inflate like a puffer fish. As they cannot hear they communicate via sign language with their nose.

Good advice: Don’t go near them when they’ve got a cold!

Life Span: 40 years

Home: Industrial facilities

Type: Industrial

Life span: 60 years

Abeguy 12-14-2004 01:09 PM

I'll post mine later

odd chick 12-22-2004 03:24 PM

I have one. I just completely made it up about a week ago.

Name: Arachnoid

Picture: (sorry, but I don't have one ready at the moment.)
Info: The Arachnoid is an arachnid-type species with two front legs, the first set being used for digging and the second set used for picking out dirt/rocks, and two back legs. The first set of back legs are used for climbing/walking and the second are used for walking only. They have two huge teeth at the sides of their mouths that are shaped as fangs and are used for capturing prey. The second set of teeth (located beside of the fangs) are used for tearing food and the tiny teeth located at the front are used to grind food. The teeth in the very back are used to crunch/crush food. The Arachnoid used to be a native species, but were later used by the Glukkons to catch slaves who were attempting to escape a factory and thus became industrial.

Lifespan: 960 years

Location: In the deserts and/or factories of Oddworld.

Type: native/industrial

munchou 12-22-2004 06:09 PM

Wooo this thread is so cool !
So, I present you my character :

Name : Gamet

Info : Gamet is an Oddworldian God. Old of around 4500 years, he is one of the stewards between the good and the evil. But 600 years ago, he had to do a terrible choice. The most difficult of his life. To protect the wildlife of the mechanical invasions, he had to become a mortal. Of course, being mortal for him doesn't mean that he will only live 90 years, he remains immortal as each god, but he no longer has his powers, neither his strength.
After 550 years of full war, he was imprisoned Glukkons. They tortured him untill he became totally mad and unable to command rebels. We never saw him after this.
Is all over ? No, it's at this precise moment that...... Abe was born ! Tataaaaaaa ! :D

Lifespan : immortal

Location : unknown

Type : half-god

Here is the model of it in 3D

3D View Render

Took me 5 Hours and 30 Mins 3d Modeling/Art is alot of fun thats how they make gorgeous CG movies.

:) The only thing is missing is the texture for the skin and I have photoshop 7 but I am very bad with it. If any Dear Oddworld Fan wants to pitch in and make a skin for this creature please do :) I can then animate and try all kinds of cool stuff =D I'll appricite ALOT if someone can go into photoshop and make a good Skin Texture for this Oddrek :)

By the way, if you guys have your Fantasy Created Oddworld Creature that you made and have a "good" concept art and want to see it in fully 3D send me ur concept arts by PM or by MSN gronoken@hotmail.com or AIM - Conkorg
Meybe we can all pitch in and make a Fan Oddworld Movie?

Oddish 12-27-2004 01:23 PM

Whoa, that's awsome! Your very good at 3D.

Keep up the good work;)

munchou 12-27-2004 01:53 PM

Yeah cool ! Your creature is a little to flat I think, but it's a nice beginning !
Sure a texture is missing, and a better environment too. Keep it up !
:)

PS : Thanks for the previous comments ^^

odd chick 12-30-2004 04:25 PM

I really like everyone's pictures of their creatures!! Keep up the good work everyone! :) And since I saw the model of your creature in another thread, Stranger, I'm going to say that I love your concept drawing because you already know how much I like your models! :) ;)

Rich 12-31-2004 02:53 AM

Another one!

Whee, I've made so many.

Name of species: Gangavus

Info: Hangs from trees like a vine with his long tail. Eats anything that he can. His tail can give electric shocks if he is disturbed. He's too lazy to hunt for food so he just electricutes whatever comes nearby. The Glukkons have capitalised on this by capturing them and using them as power sources.

Life span: 15 years

Type: Wildlife/ Industrial.

Location: Forests, Jungles and Glukkon power facilities.

Diet: Anything that moves.
