how do you come up with all these creatures they truly fascinate me do the ideas just pop into your head or do you look at something and see what it could be

I mostly just begin to draw, and the lines and smudges become like "clouds" which suggests ideas and forms.
There is also quite a lot of routine and practice involved.

This reminds me of Spore.

How? Spore can generate all kinds of creatures, right? So, what makes this one extra Spore-ish?

SkyRider3217 In reply to Cloister [2012-10-30 12:46:37 +0000 UTC]

yes its true that in spore, you can make whatever you want it to look. Endless posibilities of creatures that can be made.

I was just saing that it reminds me of spore.

Do all imaginary creatures remind you of Spore?

How much do they pay you, the company behind Spore? Something strange at work here. I never once hear anyone mention Spore in the comments of my creatures, and then suddenly it shows up several times in a matter of days. Is Spore 2 coming out soon, perhaps? I bet you spend your days mentioning Spore all over the web, don't you?!

I have herd that the company discontinued anything dealing with spore and their more recent game Darkspore.

personally I still play spore because I have recently contributed to Darkspore fanfiction wiki with Dark Injection mod(this mod is still doing updates) for the spore game.

Too bad. Though I have never played it, I really like the idea... and would probably very much have enjoyed a more advanced version of the game.
