Description
As you may know, the Concept Art forum had Creature Festival , where they would create 100 creatures in a certain amount of time using certain topics. I was interested in the concept, but I would never think about joining it myself (my work isn't so much concept art as pixel doodles). But then, last month, ~DinoHunter2 mentioned his attempt at it, so I decided to do mine.Looking back, it appears that my creations are pretty mundane. This doesn't really bother me, but I suppose it's something I should look out for if I'm creating monsters or aliens. I also don't have much in terms of biodiversity. I means, nearly all of the creatures are vertebrates, even though I should logically have more insects. I can create an average of 2.857 creatures a day, which is a bit disappointing.
For the explanations behind the creatures, see the write-up .
Also! Be sure to see ~kyliesleedesign 's version over here .

This is one of the more interesting drawing challenge breakdowns I have seen, I am having a crack at it myself now. First four are:

No problem! I drew a couple of my own creatures after I saw this. You'll probably see them in a little bit

heh, I remember this challenge in the COW forums. I think you've done a very good job here, must have taken bloody ages! I have to say though, my heart goes to the phosphorescent tunnel digger on the left <3

Well, it just took about 35 days, but it felt like ages!
And yes, that fangly dude with the glowing mouth is pretty snazzy.

i do like how these creatures have a little more of a 'spec' look to them than a game-geared creature design. there's a place for all things!

Why thank you!
Provided you mean "spec" in the sense of "Speculative evolutionary paths", which is what I was aiming for, or "spec" in the sense of "Spec: The Speculative Dinosaur Project", which is an awesome website and quite a compliment. I do try to think of proper biological justifications for all the creatures.
If you mean "spec" as in "speckled", then that's just confusing because only the Speckled Turtle Crackers are supposed to be speckled.

I'm not sure if that's a good thing, since I had no intention of making them video game sprites.
I suppose that's the downside to using MS Paint...

Awesome, says I. Whether you think you have enough biodiversity or not, I think that quite a few of these are really cool and eye-catching. Honestly, I think you did a better job than I. And I'd love to hear more about these guys. I'm not sure where to start though... so many to choose from, obviously. XP

Well, to tell the truth, I did try to dig a bit deeper for ideas specifically so that it wouldn't look like I copied off you.
And if you want, I could put up the information about these guys in a separate deviation.

Sure. If it's not too much trouble, that would be great.

I suspect it will be up sometime tomorrowish.
