2016 Creature! Bamboala (Fife is 2015's and so on)

raitonchidori • 5 July 2016 at 10:29 PM

So, I realized we don't have a "2016 creature" yet, and perhaps it's not too late for it. So here's my suggestion, Bamboala:

About Bamboala Eggs
The Science and Research Center consider this as one of the most intriguing eggs from all the island. A large number of tests have been made to understand more about the specie, and the most curious thing about it is that it's impossible to find a Bamboala egg in nature without seeing bamboos growing around it. The SAR Center is not sure if the bamboos are originated from the Bamboala egg or if the egg simply appears in bamboo plants. What they know, though, is that a Bamboala egg provides benefical and nutritive substance to bamboos' development in a radius of three meters and, as these vegetals get mature, they also provide protection to the future creature, so their best guess is that they live in a mutualism relation.

More About the Bamboala
When the little Bamboala hatches, it immediately starts eating the bamboos around the ground. As these creatures seem to show a huge appetite, specially on their young ages, it doesn't take too long untill all the bamboos disappear. Mysteriously, however, when Bamboala falls asleep, its body throws little seeds in earth, ensuring that the creature doesn't stay without food on the next day.

Some say that one single Bamboala is able to eat 2016 kg of bamboo per day. For this reason, Arkians have choosen this creature to celebrate the year 2016.

Please guys, tell me what you think of it and send your own critics or additions for it! Simply vote "no" and don't say why, doesn't valid your point. And please let aside my not very good draw and think in how it will become when a true egg cave artist make it! ^^

@raitonchidori
I like it! 😃 Very creative! How did you come up with this idea? 😉

raitonchidori • 6 July 2016 at 12:06 PM

@izziebee1017 I'm glad you like it! Well, I always missed a 2016 creature, so yesterday, basically, I just thought "I have to do one". I'm not a good drawer, as you see, but I always think in how it would be when a true artist from egg cave do it. Then I drawed a random "animal" thinking on were to put the year (2016). Then the tongue came out.

And it started to take a koala-ish shape (I drawed the last stage first). Then I added the bamboo thing and drawed the egg. I know the first stage is weird, but as I said, I'm thinking on the final creation for the site and I like it xD. The name is the junction of the names Bamboo and Koala (or Bambu and Coala in portuguese, but they sound the same lol).

@raitonchidori

It's really nice! I love the idea, and the story behind it 😊 😋

Maybe add some colour?

raitonchidori • 6 July 2016 at 12:20 PM

@jrw48 I'm glad you like it! 😊

I'm not a good drawer, believe me, I tried to add color, but I'm simply terrible lol. And I don't think I have proper tools for it as well. I'll try to focus on a description today, I think that's my thing xD

@raitonchidori

Maybe get someone else to draw and colour it? I know @prairie is a very good artist! 😊

raitonchidori • 6 July 2016 at 6:46 PM

@jrw48 perhaps. But I guess if an egg cave artist find this idea interesting, he/she will probably have a nice scheme of colors for it as well.

It is so adorable! I hope it gets picked as the story line and creature are wonderful. 😃
Thanks for sharing your suggestion on your wall. 😊

raitonchidori • 7 July 2016 at 3:26 PM

@byfelisa really thank you again ^^

@raitonchidori
I think it's really cute! 😃
Which month/holiday are you planning for it to be fore? 😋 ❤️ 😸

raitonchidori • 19 July 2016 at 6:30 PM

@dragon_collector thank you so much!

Well, it doesn't have a proper month to be released. As the idea is that Bamboala represents the creature that celebrates the 2016 year (such as Fife is 2015's), it could be released anytime this year, even though these kind of creatures are released in January or so.

I was hoping it could be released tomorrow, since it's Egg Cave's aniversary, but I don't think @Ian or the mods payed attention to this yet and it would be a rush to see this so soon (15 days since I posted).

*raises hand* May I nitpick at your grammar?

raitonchidori • 19 July 2016 at 8:30 PM

@rickyraccoon of course you can! I'm open to any kind of constructive critics, and since English is not my language, I surely need some help 😊

skymoare • 19 August 2016 at 2:56 PM

@raitonchidori

That's great I hope it comes to egg cave it sounds like a creatures that should!

wolffey • 19 August 2016 at 3:02 PM

@raitonchidori I like it, but to me it's kinda late to have a 2016 creature XD

lutarimaster • 19 August 2016 at 3:10 PM

@raitonchidori It is very well drawn, though I do not like the concept.

raitonchidori • 19 August 2016 at 5:10 PM

@valleries1 thank you. I'm glad you like it 😊

@wolffey thank you. Yeah, this kind of creature is generally released in the first month of each year. I kinda hope @Ian or Egg Cave Team decides to still make a 2016 creature. If not, at least the idea could be used to still make the creature, perhaps without the "2016" thing.

@lutarimaster thank you. I'm glad you gave your opinion. And that's curious, I like the concept, but I don't like my drawing lol. You mean about the 2016 thing or the bamboo+koala idea?
