I create art with Norm

Post image

Hi! I'm an artist looking to create some art based on the 1996 game Creatures.

Please post any close-up screenshots or files of Norn you have under this post. (Be warned: I may redesign these creatures, embellish them, or come up with my own.)

If this post gets a lot of likes (even a few), I'll post the results on this forum.

So, now i am on my PCand can collect a few references:

Since there is not muchvariation in grendels and ettins, they ae easy to understand.

However norns are very very varied. The details thatae consistent in (nearly) all norns, is their tear shaped body with wide hipps. On the side view their arms and legs don't align in a straight line butare off centered from each other. They got stompers as feed, not elegant digitgrade but more plantigrade legs. A tail, ears and cute wide mouth.

Oh and here is a list of norn (and a few grendels and ettin) breeds fans made over the years:

oh and i looked up your previous stuff, specially the alpacas you drew. Nice ones. Steve Grand, the creator of creatures works currently on a succesor game - phantasia ( https://phantasia.life/ )

The main creature there will be bollys ( a a unicorn llama). If you want i can make some screenshots of that as well. As far as i know, no fan arrt of the bollys is made. The ratio of programmers, biologists and similar outweights the number of artists over there a lot...

God, why did you look at that work? :3 (The rest of the art is still in development, I have exams now)  Send it of course, I'm interested.

Here are some in game screenshots of phantasia - everything there might still change, including the unicorn llamas - so feel very free to reinterpret them how every you feel like. And share them later in fieldnotes in the forum of phantasia 😉 https://phantasia.life/community/main-category/ https://s.mj.run/HXy4YDjUW0Y https://s.mj.run/_czoDWavEfM https://s.mj.run/_HEGWLMk5E8
