Pictures of Never EVER releated Creatures

Where did you get those from? Some of them are known only from the Art book (as far as we know) and we do not tolerate scanned pages from that book on this website.

As far as what they are, the first two are not Chroniclers. One is a Luskan Marauder, and unused concept from Munch development, the other is an early Glukkon concept from Abe development, back when they were called "Oldgers," which may be the source of the last known Chronicler design. The meech is not actually a meech, but what we call the "1%er," which is an early meetle concept. The squidgy thing in the bottom right is the meetle larva they settled on. The final image is not a Khanzumer, but an Oktigi in possession of an unspecified host. It is, however, the spitting image of Sekto, so the host's identity follows on from there.

I'm going to put this to the guys, but we need to know where those images came from. They are, however, well known pieces of artwork.

Nice try, but we've seen them before. And that first one is a Musklum (I think that's how it's spelt...I can't remember).

Also, six posts in a row? Oh dear...

First of all, to anyone who’s now confused, I’ve wrecked this thread by deleting all of Fil the Slig’s posts, then reopened the thread which undeletes the first post, which now makes little sense. Fil posted numerous images that come from the Art of Oddworld Inhabitants book. He hasn’t scanned them, and it’s potentially not against OWI’s or our wishes to have them unavailable, but until I work that out, please don’t post any more.

The first picture was a Musklum, not a Lusk.

On the Ballistic Publishing site with the preview of the art book there's a couple of pictures the same as what Fil posted. Probably printscreened them or something.

Wil 01-25-2009 03:32 PM

No, that’s not where these come from. Those are much to small for what Fil posted. I know where they come from, but until I get some questions answered by OWI or Ballistic, I’d prefer not to say.

In fact, there’s nothing that can be added to this topic until then, so I am closing it for now.
