I think this belongs in FC.
|
~it's not Art or Literature.
Enchilado |
Doesn't necessarily have to be.
I think it stands that if it involves any creativity on our part and a discussion isn't being held about official Oddworld material then it belongs in FC. I'll wait for confirmation from a mod before I post my contribution to this topic though. |

Did you seriously read that before posting this? I don't think anyone else would 've gave a shit.
|
Er...
~I wasn't supposed to read the rules? Enchilado |
well i was pretty sure that OD was for discussion/asking questions about the 'canon' Oddworld, whereas FC was for all other discussions and ideas not necessarily concerning Oddworld 'fact'. just to avoid confusion amongst members.
this thread is about creating new Oddworld creatures. that could be classed as FC material. |
As I said, I have material for this topic, but I'm not gunna post until a mod confirms it's place. If I come up with a creature, I plan to upload artwork to go along with it and that's definitely FC territory.
So yeah. |
I hate it when you guys start up on your politics about the rights and wrongs of posting such-and-such according to your own interpretation of the rules. The boy has a fun little idea, and if the mods want it moved then they'll move it.
Now let's leave his thread be for people who really want to partake. |
It's fan art. It belongs in FC.
|
H'okay, h'if'n you say so.
~So far there's no art at all... QUICK SEKTO! WE NEED YOU! Enchilado |
I'll enter
|
I aways wanted to draw a Slig/Scrab Hybrid. Scrailg :tard:
|
Then I have but two words to say to you...
~DO IT! Enchilado |
No hybrids... please... If you really want to create something simmiliar to existing species, then create something distantly related what will have only seweral simmiliar features, but not just changing few things or simply mixing some species... Try to be more proffesional and create something new.
That's my opinion. If enchilado wants these hybrid, then it is his choice :) |
I'm creating a dragon-style creature for my future fanfics lol.
|
when i read this before i started doodling and something quite interresting turned out... perhaps I'll take part in this... ^^
|
What the hell did this innocent newbie do to deserve negrep?
|
~all the rep I've lost and earned so far, I think. Enchilado |
i personally don't care about rep :D
I need to ask you: Why are you posting i here? :) |
Maybe he wants people to posrep him... :-/ Dunno.. It seems strange, though it's always fun to snoop around in people's private stuff.
|
Ooh, I'll be entering this :P I've been doodling some odd creature for a while now, this will give me a chance to do something with it.
|
I'm gonna get first drawing in yey! Of course if know one else joing i'll look a right retard!
Sorry it's sideways. This is my little Haixar, an insectoid creature standing about 6"5' on average. It is unkown where the Haixar live because they donot originate from Mudos, it is speculated however, that they live in forest regions and desert regions since this is where their teleporters where found. The Haixar are intelligent creatures that have made advancements in areas of literature and technology, although thye donot speak standard english, they are usually companied by multi service droids, one of which functions is translation. Haixar tend to live in clustered tribes of about 20 inhabitants of which a rigid caste structure is established, there are workers, fighters and, at the top, the Hyaix Senate, a small group of leaders that impose laws. Each village is part of the 15 great tribes, the names of which are yet to be discovered. Enjoy |

I had a doodle in paint and came up with this (no, the whole thing was not done in MS paint). I know it doesn't count as an entry, it's got no name or description or anything, but at least it killed some time for me. Anyone is welcome to add on this. (Don't slate the poor quality I got bored an did it in a but few minutes) |

NAME: -> Blotoni RELATED TO: -> it might be to Vykkers HABITAT: -> somewhere in northern Mudos LIFESTYLE: -> oddworld industrial executive lifestyle WHAT ELSE? -> its not very good at making backstories |
Did you seriously take the time to type that all out in a nice, organized fashion, Ench? Bah, don't worry about Scrabtrapman and Daxter King. They're both capital cunts.
Umm, yeah, I guess I'll pop something out. Maybe from my dusty fanfic buried deep within the ruins fo Old Fan Corner. |
Name: Elstavo Species: Ramstigg Habitat: Industrial creatures. Formerly swamp-dwellers like Sligs. They love rain and smog and are often found skulking around in the slums and industrial districts of Oddworldian cities. They are also nocturnal, but living in the cities under smoggy skies allows them to congregate during the day as well. Lifestyle: It is considered to be healthy for a Ramstigg to have fungi growing on their bodies, as they live in cool, dark places. The fungi that grows produces vital nutrients that the Ramstigg absorbs through their skin. Because of this, Ramstigg's have an unmistakable mildewy odor. They dislike wearing synthetic fabrics as they consider it unnatural and their skin is sensitive to chemical allergens. Instead, Ramstigg's only wear clothing made from animal hide. The most popular among them being Paramite Skin leather. They are omnivorous, though they prefer large, thick cuts of red meat so as to put their large jaws to good use. Whereas Sligs prefer cigarettes, Ramstigg's prefer the liquid libations. Despite alcohol being a large part of Ramstigian culture, they have a very high tolerance for it, and only one such drink can get a Ramstigg drunk: Stiggma. Stiggma is a powerful alcoholic brew made from fermented Budge (a fruit similar to a mango). When Budge is fermented, it becomes bitter, so an Oddworldian form of defrutum is added to the mix to sweeten it (though more hardcore Stiggma is known to lack the sweetener). The concept of dental hygiene is lost on Ramstigg's, and their breath can kill. They are reasonably intelligent, but reserved. Their vocabulary rivals that of a Glukkon, but their thick tongues makes their speech somewhat slurred. Their voices are deep and rich, think a slightly more groggy James Earl Jones. Despite their intimidating appearance, Ramstiggs are not violent by nature, though living in the city slums has wrongly associated them with crime. They usually live in poverty, often by choice, as they prefer simple lifestyles and tend to favor the conditions of underprivileged neighborhoods. There are, however, a handful of Ramstigg's living in the upper echelons of society working as businessmen. They have good eyesight for having such small eyes, but have a very poor sense of smell. They can run very fast despite having an awkward gait. Their long spindly fingers are second only to Interns in dexterity. |
