Creature Idea - Tips

crooton1 • 30 August 2011 at 1:37 PM

Do you want to make your own creature?
This might help. 😊

1. Always sign your work. (It could be easily stolen if not)

2. Think of something original.

3. Experiment with different colors on different animals.

4. Take time and pride in your work.

5. Don't steal anything from anywhere.

@Fate

I was considering this for quite a while. 😋

fate • 30 August 2011 at 1:55 PM

@Crooton1

Same here.
Just never actually done it.
I've been distracted.
xD

@Fate

I put off things until a long time later. 😋

fate • 30 August 2011 at 1:57 PM

@Crooton1

Haha.

2. Think of something original.

^ Probably the most important, and yet the thing that I see is lacking most.

As for 3, I never sign my work if it's just a doodle regardless of if it can be stolen or not. A persevering art theif can easily erase your signature.

@Elysian

Also, if you are sending it to Ian, he might not give you credit if it is not signed. 😉

elysian • 30 August 2011 at 2:32 PM

@crooton1 - You can send them to him? Or do you mean by posting it on the forums? Thanks for the heads up, I'm about to make a creature idea thread myself, but I have yet to write a description.

crooton1 • 30 August 2011 at 2:33 PM

@Elysian

Yep,
You send it in a ticket.
He might even create it if it's good. 😊

elysian • 30 August 2011 at 2:57 PM

@crooton1 - Just under 'General' in the ticket selection? XD

So people only post the things they designed here to gather followers or interest for it, and support for the creation of the design?

@Elysian

Good job. 😉
I wish you were going to stay at this site. ☹️
You would be amazing. 😋

elysian • 30 August 2011 at 2:59 PM

What makes you think I'd leave soon? 😋 I do site-hop, but I am actually enjoying the site. The community is very bonded. o3o

crooton1 • 30 August 2011 at 3:06 PM

@Elysian

Yay! 😃
Amazing creature idea by the way. 😉

elysian • 30 August 2011 at 3:08 PM

@crooton1 - Thanks, I did see your newer thread for the pwipe, but no pic yet? :C

crooton1 • 30 August 2011 at 3:09 PM

@Elysian

It'll be up tomorrow. 😊
It a yellow and brown pipe fish. 😊
But don't expect anything good. XD
I'm no where close to as good as you are. 😋

elysian • 30 August 2011 at 3:11 PM

@crooton1 - Art isn't everything. XD

I love to read descriptions when people post their creature designs up, some people don't include descriptions though, which, I think, takes something away from it. But you posted descriptions in all your ideas, so, it's fine. 😋

@Elysian

I hope you stay long! 😃
