we have a bunch more this time!! even some progress in my art in general happened over this week. also. Mario
umm more of my fluffy eyestalks lizards 😳 this is a variant that lives in colder regions, with especially long fur on the sides of the tail which i hope looks fine. as you can see the variation in their patterns can vary immensey

o hey third page
 
it felt like this week lasted ages but either way ive gotten a new better mouse so if the lines look smoother thats why!!!
were starting off from spore whoops! here i was picking random parts, but also colors(was able to pick the shade though) and patterns!
unknown.png

i thought itd be interesting to try and dress up a creature thats a template (not a good one mind you). oh yeah its also from 2014 like all those other ones coincidntrally

normal_bird_drawing.png

aand heres the first thing with the new mouse!! pretty satisfied with it!

woo_spooopy.png
 
we dont have too much this time because Laziness but! theres a ton of spore
which were immediately starting off with whoops
unknown.png

felt like making some cells as well
unknown.png

unknown.png

and then. this! https://raymanpc.com/wiki/en/Matuvu
this should be an interesting one. using sing makes it make pretty much the same sound as it makes in r3 so yea!
couldnt get the eyes to look too right because Spore Limitations but this should work fine enough
unknown.png

someone made a sort of wolf template and i ended up drawing a bird thing over it
unknown.png

felt like drawing an aquatic thingie, once more
gotta_make_an_infinite_amount_of_aqauatic_animals_in_particular.png

something more upright for once

how do people make good vehicles in vehicle editors what the hell

haha_its_Leap_day_get_it.png
 
you should link your spore pngs in this thread, in case idk a drive-by person is interested in them
 
ehh thats like a ton more things to upload to discord first before putting here... id rather do it by request
 
i'd like that rayman gecko thing creature and that green creature with the stupidly long legs and janky phyics.
 
aight

i guess it also wont be a big deal to you that one of em actually has a russian name HDFTGHLDKFB
 
Spore_2020-03-01_15-07-51.png


i love the way it animates and how its dead body looks lol
 
im so sorry for how little art there is tihs time!! my laziness continues i hope its ok! so the majority of stuff here is just gonna be spore
which were starting off with
unknown.png

stilts
unknown.png

guy from playthrough i did earlier. i didnt plan out anything here and got diplomats. theyre weird.. birdish amphibianish things
unknown.png

attempt at making a sorta skin for myself but it ended up kinda all over the place
unknown.png

unknown.png

dressed up maxis creatures (two in one pic!)
unknown.png

another playthrough! was aiming for bards. yea they dont have vision and i also went the entirety of creature stage with the level 1 bite and sing (it went fine though)
unknown.png

yo more buges
holy_frick.png

someone drew a pic of a guy riding an animal in a desert and i really felt like drawing said animal..
unknown.png

More playthroughs! this one was traders
unknown.png

plante
unknown.png

i wanted to make a like. mural thing with a billion circles. but i kinda gave up on it halfway in so thats all youre gettin
goes_feral.png
 
did you give the outfitted maxis creatures any special titles? like "grooby the wanderer"?
 
nah i just keep their names i never even considered doing anything like that. i do give them funny descriptions sometimes but i cant remember the ones for those here off the top of m head (i dont think i even gave them a descirption actually)
 
ok its a bit better this time!! ive been experimenting a bunch too. also mar10 day happened over this week so of course i had to draw soemthing for it.. 👁
we start off with spore again though
unknown.png

another playthrough, this one was knights
unknown.png

nvm i like the captain outfit i made for these guys. you can see they have one eye but the helmet was made for creatures with two eyes so he had to improvise..
unknown.png

here is a babey (caught in the middle of blinking)
unknown.png

lineless test
is_now_the_time_of_experimenting_with_stuff.png

well heres the mar10 thing!!! i didnt feel like drawing a full body but!
zelen_finally_draws_mario_again.png

unknown.png

more creachers (three in one pic!)
unknown.png

tried out some thicker lines im honestly really happy with how this came out
just_gotta_draw_with_a_10px_brush_sometimes_yknow.png

and again with a 3px line instead of the 2px lines i use normally. some worker ant lady!
she_strong.png
 
not much yet again.. laziness! but i finally got around to drawing something ive been wanting to draw for a while
and that something is GLOBOX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
unknown.png

why_did_i_draw_the_lines_in_ms_paint.png

heres some spore creatures in one pic and i didnt realise they all ended up with one eye til someone commented "thats one eyed gang". shoutouts

unknown.png

hey remember vrytes??? im at it again! a proper drawing of the winged subspecies which ive named.. al. ya this whol species is just two letters
yea.png

and then i retconned a drawing by 8 year old me that was related to spore into Another subspecies. they use their strong tails as a third leg pretty much. original drawing
shoutouts_to_2011_me_for_unknowingly_making_ideas_for_these.png
 
featuring: a few rayman fanarts, a few of my own creachers, but mostly just spore again
heres a lil town i made in an adventure in like 5 seconds.. im not really good at this but either way i wanna make more cool enviroments

feathery thingy
long_lad.png

i tried to make something with every cell part AND THEN I JUST FORGOT ONE AND REALISED TOO LATE SO I COULDNT EDIT IT AGAIN WAHHH
unknown.png

absolute unit
biggest_friend.png

we were discussing tux paint for some reason, on this rayman server, and after i got asked if ive drawn any ray mans in it there was a suggestion of drawing him with ramen
20200326151223.png

i was planning on making more spore stuff then and then the direct mini just shows up like
unknown.png

rayed man 3 (text translation provided for convenience)
also technically i drew the rayman here earlier than the tux paint one but kept putting off finishing this for a while
bruh2.png
edit: so i had this part saved in my private discord for like a week which i completely forgot about so might as well edit it in real quick. better late than never!
so this is a few weeks old but every month (except december) flight rising runs a skin contest for its festivals and ive been participating in each one since january. they lost so far but not this time.. this sunday [editin a note in: march 22nd specifically] one of my submissions for the mistral jamboree one actually somehow won!! https://www1.flightrising.com/game-database/item/33829

i nearly forgot multiple times whoops! well you know the thread title. anyway this ones just mostly spore sorry!!
so here was my second warrior playthrough. yes its a moth thing that can and will kill you
unknown.png

i heard birds outside and then felt like drawing a bird
boid.png

doot
unknown.png

return of the moth thing but heres the captain outfit cause i like how it turned out. she can Kick Ass
unknown.png

and now we got scientists!
unknown.png

last one! theyre zealots. instead of going for Dinosaur Body Type for the 948569458694th time i decided to go with a more quadrupedal one and i really do like how it turned out
unknown.png

unknown.png

and then, somehow, this convo happened and led to me drawin lasagna
unknown.png

unknown.png

wanted to draw something with eyes in a void face but kinda went overboard so now its just a supremely fluffy thing with peak character design eyes
comb_your_hair_maybe.png

doodle i swear hes strayinf further and further away from the pale white coloration taht got him his name
gameing.png

a few months back i made that dirt hut and mountain buildings that were both inspired by minecraft and im still really proud with em.. now heres a volcano factory. no minecraft inspiration this time because minecraft volcanoes dont real
unknown.png

im surprised i manged to make a vehicle im happy with
unknown.png

hidden cell editor shenanigans!
unknown.png

and then a lil batch
unknown.png
 
this time we have a Lot of doodles! i guess i dont currently have much energy to do much normal drawings and i hope thats ok
were starting off with tux paint shading practices using various brushes weirdly enough
20200404181543.png

20200404182551.png

so heres an old ass drawing and i decided to remake th creature from it. usig clues from these three lil drawings here (in the bottom right specifically), the name, and just what i vaguely remember of it
also im pretty sure the original drawing was a spore creature itself so like. it loops on itself! i am very sure thats not how the creature actually looked like though
IMG_20200405_170354.jpg

unknown.png

and thsi dude..i gave em a cool space outfit but i dont have a pic of it apparently
unknown.png

a convo has reminded me of an oc i also abandnoed immediately as i tend to so i decided to maybe doodle em (and then went overboard with coloring)
wow_bruh.png

iggy pulling an epic prank
unknown.png

unknown.png

i cant draw him with an open mouth wahhhh also context for the caption is adding eyebrows after ive sent the pic already. also fun story. the reason i drew this is that we were talking about sonic on the friend server and one suggested "everyone draw your favorite sonic character" and i dont even know what my favorite is yet so i drew globox as a funny. this is a bit of an inside joke. look he goes fast and rolls into a bal too!
unknown.png

heres a green puffle ive had across Three club penguin servers. its lemy! (the name is accurate!)
unknown.png

redrawing an old ass drawing this time. ill just link the original because the forum displays it in the wrong orientation ad i had to flip it initially because my phone wouldnt cooperate
the.png

somehow warts russian name coming from the words for crocodile and toad (the frog kind) led to that
unknown.png

heres some more things
unknown.png

GIF_08.04.2020_18-55-16.gif

im so sorry to bury this with spore rayman but yea. i am aware this looks awful but given vanilla spores limitations i tried my best and it.. didnt turn out that bad surprisingly! i had to go with a weird ass color scheme (actually taken from early r3 screenshots) just to make this look a bit better
unknown.png

also he animates surprisingly well despite everything coming from a single invisible limb! im genuinely kinda proud of this
unknown.png

unknown.png

heres an aquatic subspecies of these eyestalk lizards i keep makeing
i_think_i_ended_up_listening_to_lake_kingdom_twice_while_drawing_this.png

um so this weird super sonic plush that got super long leg and they also appeared to be backwards

more of the
unknown.png

i was in the library or whatever vibin and move a few centimetres and then this man just digs me up a sock (the sock is food)
thanks_lemy.png

this is the creature i beat the hell out of everyone with, in creature stage, without evolving. it was fun!
unknown.png

these are very similar lookin maxis creatures with very similar names so forthe space outfits i decided to maek them similar.. but the more primitive species gets a more advanced otufit with cool gadgets, while the more advanced species gets a more primitive tribal outfit!
unknown.png

heckin around with tux paint and testing out shading with this brush
20200415191752.png

20200415201855.png

yea
unknown.png

i had an idea of an old abandoned generator or factory, completely reclaimed by nature, but i think ive overdone it and now it just looks messy and confusing.. was fun to make though! i really wanna make more enviroments like this
Spore_2020-04-16_19-35-39.png

tux paint once more, i recreated a pic i made out of maxis buildings in spore
Spore_2020-04-10_15-04-18.png

20200416233352.png

ive been dressing up a ton of creatures lately so they generate in space stage. really proud of this one
unknown.png
 
lazy week part 2 but theres some stuff im really proud of!
also the first image here is rather spider lookin, so if possible avoid looking at it if you have arachnophobia! the rest is fine though
unknown.png

yoshi do be rockin that eyeshadow tho 😳 i cant do anything about that due to Spore Limitations but still im pretty proud of how this came out!! ESPECIALLY compared to the yoshi i made back in 2015
unknown.png

this ones im really happy with though it had no reason to be in tux paint. im sitll tryna figure out how to draw him properly but yea!
20200419235500.png

my cat at the moment of drawing this, drawn off of real life
unknown.png

like the yoshi i tried remaking the toad too. i cant say it succeeded
unknown.png

watching subjectively videos i randomly had an idea for maybe an oc? at least a costume. unfortunately i can not draw humans
unknown.png

gif is a lil fast than its supposed to be because of gifcam but yea turns out i do Animations sometimes
GIF_20.04.2020_22-59-33.gif

also these from february which i never posted until now. these should be the correct speed
the titles from rgiht to left are "me going to the kitchen to get bread" and "me exiting the kitchen with bread"

doodlin the
gameing_part_2.png

ok so back in 2015 and 2016 i had this yoshi oc.. he was vaguely based on my penguin in club penguin at the time for some reason! he never got a name, and probably a personality but i think i can figure out hes chaotic evil from what i mostly used him for. which is riffing on fnaf. im so sorry i know much better now
hes_made_pizza_out_of_a_robot_im_sorry_waht.png

i dont like robo parts normally but i thought id make something with them for once (prob my first time using them in YEARS) and it actually turned out really cool and was a fun challenge
unknown.png
unknown.png

and now, bug
unknown.png

rare example of a playable character not returning between rayman origins and legends also this is my first time drawing a teensy im pretty sure

friend asked how do teensies even put shirts on with their schnozzes and this is waht i thought but i also kinda like how this doodle turned out as simple as it is
unknown.png

in rayman origins. beware the mini murray (i think thats the level name) can be completed without getting a single lum entirely! and yes this is two teensies in a row
wow_i_draw_a_lot_of_teensies_lately_its_kinda_fun_ok.png

thingy ??? i tried making something with No neck but uses grabby things near its mouth to grab food easier

unknown.png
theres not even a ui indicator to show the lums lmao
 
you want an exclusive edition? heres some of my art from before i made this thread! so its gonna look a lil stinky compared to now, but its an interesting look

10.07.2019
yesterday i drew a quick thing making fun of how i tend to slap the same few traits onto everything and i redrew it this time but it seems like it backfired on me and i love this a lot now
Holy_Heck.png

11.07.2019. this is cathy, i made her as an oc and then proceeded to draw her only twice ever as i just tend to..
ah.png

last one is a group, using pics ive never posted before anywhere.. ok so back in 2014-2015 i made a whole bunch of creatures that like, showed how maxis cells would evolve into creature stage. though to be fair it feels more like creatures that just resemble the cells a lot. either way i decided to remake em all then and it was really fun!

so the idea i had in mind for redesigning Bob-Omb from the new pap ma was a hip chill dude even before it turned out thats kinda what he was anyway. and then i had a strong urge to draw it. so basically all he got was a brighter color scheme and a cap lmao
