Ok, I'll post the pictures I drew later, busy this weekend, because I have examns next week, and have a compulsary althetics canval all day tommorrow, aswell as work on sunday, and attending my social life, lol.
here's some more ideas though:
Name: Wealphin
Description: 2 pairs of Tusks, kinda elephant seal like face, and leapard seal body/ kill whale body
and wiskers of coarse, beady eyes.
bio: A preditor of the seas, hunted by the sea rex, this creature is aggressive and travels in pods, it is a very social animal.

Name: Prat
Appearance: It varies in colours, but black and white a the most common, yet gold, red, blue, crimson, lime, violet, pink and indigo varaties are also found. It has 2 cockatoo like crests, and a halk like beak, with pink or white eyes, it has four sets of wings, more the size of an hawks, and has a sea eagle like body, but a more parot like face, with a long streamer like tail, and one stalk like leg. It has a forked toung, and sharp teeth.
Bio: A distant realative to the MO birds, and SW crows, If a Prat is solitary, it is a viscous and dangerous predator, yet, the varities that are social are more dependant on each other, and are scavagers, they have valuture like behiours.

Carnix · #34 09-14-2007, 07:37 AM

The prat got confusing but I was successful with the wealphin!

Sure, criticize the small fin and the scavy whiskers but what the hell. I did a good job with the underwater effect didn't I? And those tusks were very difficult to position but I think I managed to pull that one off as well.

mudling · #35 09-15-2007, 01:00 AM

That looks great! Now looking at it, I think the head might match better with a lepard seals body, plus the sea rex is based on the killer whale(or has features of it anyway), but owell.
If the prat is confusing, just basically think of a parrot, but more eagle sized (that means large) and of course odd (absurd colours, odd eyes, etra limbs, one leg, etc.)

Carnix · #36 09-15-2007, 02:25 AM

I think I've just about made sense of it now.

Changed stuff:
-Only one crest now (two didn't fit in the picture)
-Four pairs of wings became four wings (four pairs=8 and that didn't fit on the body)
-It's got a parrot beak as apposed to a hulk beak (when looking for pictures of a hulk all I got was the big green angry man)

I hope the above matters little.

AlienMagi · #37 09-15-2007, 02:52 AM

LoL finnally some new pics.And why dont you guys name theese creatures you make??

Carnix · #38 09-15-2007, 02:57 AM

Read the thread first Alienmagi! They are named!

AlienMagi · #39 09-15-2007, 03:30 AM

sorry I dont get it...

Mac Sirloin · #40 09-15-2007, 08:00 PM

Name: The Klast.

Appearance: Ape like, with a mouth that seems to be constantly grinning, it has empty eyes and an incredibly pronounced browridge that makes it a ludicrously intimidating.
Its back is scaly, and it has four legs and one set of arms, each of which end in two blunt chemical chambers that cause short, fiery reports, this is used as the mode of communication among Klasts, as they have no voicebox.

They have thick bodies, and their grinning mouths are circular, with three sets of tusks that are slightly hollowed for venom dispension and pre digestive acidic coating.

Marvak · #41 09-15-2007, 08:54 PM

And then Marvak has to come and be an asshole by showing everyone how much better she is a drawing...
Lol not really.
Anyway, I bring you... the Rybir!

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket

Weighing 6 tonnes and standing 7 feet tall, the Rybir may seem like the ultimate killing machine. Was once used by Slig Security Forces as a beast of war, but the Rybir's lethargic behaviour and (for the most part) disinterest in killing made it very inconvenient. Furthermore, when breeding season came around, females on heat proved to be utterly uncontrollable, even by teams of Big Bros.
The Rybir can go for almost two weeks without the need to eat, their primary source of food being the larger animals such as Scrabs, Paramites and Meetles. Mudokons and Elums prove to be too quick to catch.
The Rybir kills it's prey by lying in wait, often for days, in long grass untill an unsuspecting creature wanders by. The Rybir then makes a sudden leap, pinning the prey against the ground and crushing it to death, before tearing at it's flesh and bones with it's beak.
The Rybir has four eyes; two facing forward, for enhanced binocular vision, to hunt prey. And two at the sides of its head, to watch for potential predators. You'd think that such a large and dangerous beast would have no predators, but the Rybir's skin is on of the toughest and softest of all mammals, with the weakness being the soft underbelly. Brave Mudokons who wish to prove themselves may set out on a quest to bring back the hide of a Rybir as a trophy; indeed, the cloak that Marvak (my Mudokon fancharacter) wears is made of the hide of the Rybir he killed, many years ago.

The Prat looks great, I think I meant hawk, so it's fine.
I love the Ryber, and the Klast sounds much better than mine, lol.
Well, I've drawn some, I'm gonna try and scan some pictures soon, and I mean it now.

Carnix · #43 09-16-2007, 10:55 PM

Holy Fuzzle! Where the glukkon did you get an idea like that Marvak!??! And yes, you sorta have made everyone else's pics look bad... even mine, and mine were done on the computer! It's a shame about the tail though. It sorta just a tail... nothing special about it like the rest of the body. But otherwise the rybir is astonishing.

Sorry Kastere, I'd give a pic for the klast a go but the chemical whatmabobs confused me.

Marvak · #44 09-18-2007, 04:02 AM

Hehe ^^; Sorry bout the outdong everyone's art buisness. I'll keep my nose out.
I had the design for the Rybir even before I knew about Oddworld, so I've done quite a few experiments and such with the thing. I just felt that a tail that was too large or swishy or anything like that would make the beast feel out-of-balance. I wanted to draw attention to the cruel face and hulking forelegs. And also it's a reference to the bulldog, and thus to toughness in general: small tail, big penis.
Oh and Carnix, just if you wanted to know, with the first picture I scanned in the scetch, opened it in The GIMP (it's pretty much the same as Photoshop), added a new layer, set the layer to 'multiply' and coloured over it. <3

Matriar · #45 09-19-2007, 02:34 AM

Your sketches look quite cool, Marvak.

Mollek... WHY THE HELL ARE YA POSTIN PIC!?!?11?

Zozo the Zrilufet · #48 09-28-2007, 07:37 AM

...Mollck, you're supposed to post pictures here of made up species, not post your random stuff everywhere.

And Marvak, I like the crazy heat idea, heat is awesome.

skillyaslig · #49 09-29-2007, 06:45 PM

A snork. Herbivore, these gentle creatures use their highly evolved smell to 'see'. They use their claws to strip bark off trees and to use in self-defense.

Vanilla ✜ · #50 09-30-2007, 04:28 AM

How do we do that alf's brother's mate?

Devilz Daughter · #51 09-30-2007, 04:42 AM

Yer how do we do that? and Hi Cream

Carnix · #52 09-30-2007, 10:41 PM

Mabey you should try reading the thread newbie!

Trust Skillya to show everyone up with something like that.

Matriar · #53 10-01-2007, 02:09 AM

Heh, I love that snork beast!

It looks so weird but lovely.

Carnix · #54 10-01-2007, 07:04 AM

I find it funny the way it has fur growing out its ears and but.

Devilz Daughter · #55 10-01-2007, 07:35 AM

What and thir the heck is the newdbie?

I cnot undrsatnd waht your syaing. Can you not spell? Or maybe I should expect as such from you.

skillyaslig · #57 10-01-2007, 04:02 PM

Oh, burn!
Anyways...

this pretty fella is a Warbler...
A Warbler is a strange creature, and is incredibly fast, sometimes using its spiked feet to stab prey. its back spikes are only used to warn off predators. Its second mouth can be used as a weapon, capable of snapping bones and breaking skulls. It can also use it to suffocate creatures.

Carnix · #58 10-01-2007, 10:43 PM

Hehe, it's mouth looks like the worm things on King Kong.

mudling · #59 10-02-2007, 12:31 AM

I was going to say that!
Great job, damn, I want to draw some now, but I don't have photoshop, so my colouring is terrible.
For now, here is my idea:

Name: Thwarpp
Apperiance: Mothlike, with 3 pairs of legs, all thick and furry, and large pale blue silky wings, aswell as thick feather like anteneares, yet with a thick furry tail a kind of snout with carnivious teeth, the size of a wolf, with mysterious black eyes with a blueish tinge. Think a cross between a moth and that dragon from a neverending story.
Behaviour: Nocternial, social, follow a system simular to moths and butterflies, live for a year or so, and can be aggreesive, but look quit passive and peacefull aas they sail through the nights sky.

Legend. Anyhoo, these pics you guys draw are great. Not even my GCSE art whatnot could do that.
