Well here's my first WIP, it has a long way to go. I have to subtract 5 colors, get a shadow on him, shade the fur correctly, this is so fun!
 
EDIT: By the way, his name is Weredoom!!

I'm thinking a three headed dog. 2 male dogs on both sides and a female in the middle. Don't ask me how that works

Edit :

Better colorz


(Arrr, Photoshop and firefox show me differents colours, it's difficult...)

Monsters/creatures can be obscure... how do you define 'head', must each head have eyes-nose-mouth-ears... what are the requirements in that regard... for example can i make a creature with a mouth on its body, but three mouth-less heads?


Posted By: skamocore
Date Posted: 26 April 2010 at 2:58pm
I find it interesting that you yourself referred to them as 'mouth-less heads'

-------------


Posted By: StepDragon
Date Posted: 26 April 2010 at 3:02pm
"mouth-less heads" was for the sake of clarification in what I was imagining... not even sure if i'm gonna do that, I'm working on concepts ATM. But I still would like to know in the challenge context makes a 'head'.


Posted By: skamocore
Date Posted: 26 April 2010 at 3:18pm
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Head - Here's a Wikipedia article. I don't see the point of delving into absolute minutiae of the semantics of the word 'head' though; you could sit here all day arguing about what constitutes a 'head'. But instead, why not start pixeling something first and post it here. Then we can go from there.

Wikipedia to the rescue again.

Looks like a fun challenge. Really hoping I have time this week, last week I didn't get so lucky.

Here's my latest edit. I think it's a major improvement in terms of body structure compared to the last one.

Early WIP:



Does it count as three-headed creature?





Posted By: skamocore
Date Posted: 26 April 2010 at 8:47pm
I assume this is three heads clumped together?

-------------


Posted By: slaughterism
Date Posted: 26 April 2010 at 8:49pm
love what a3um has so far. That better count as a 3 headed creature because its super creapy and awesome.

Exactly:)

@slaughterism, thanks(:


Posted By: skamocore
Date Posted: 26 April 2010 at 8:54pm
I assume you're going to make them more headlike (rather than weird-tumor like).

Anyway, keep going, I agree with slaughterism, definitely has potential to be awesome.

why not a brighter colour in the eyes to create more of a creepy glowing effect.

Also, maybe add more surrounding trees in order to heighten the claustrophobic feel.

Look behind you!

A wild 3-headed Robotunicorn appeared!



I will do something with that straight leg though, doesn't seem gay enough!

@skamocore - Thanks for pointing that out. Slightly modified the palette to free a slot for brightest yellow.

This is looking as good or better than i thought it would =]
 
2 brightest colors of the sun could use a bit of a  transition fix so they look as good as the other colors / layers.
 
Really like the added trees / claustrophobic feel. Maybe a little detail on the closer trees and id say your pretty much done. Wow.
 
Challenge just started and im already afraid of the competition. lol

don't even ask why the tongue got blue...long story. Much better purple, tough.


this is the last one I did...the pixel is not finalized, but that's the idea

What if you were to stack the heads? Would that count as
three? I.E. totem pole.

mine count as a head?

1. That's awesome.

2. I'm sure that counts as a head.

3. I think that the animation for the part of the body neck-down needs some work, it looks kind of jagged atm.

@ jeremy - nice character design, but I think a neck of either of the two side heads should come off of the middle neck.

Ok, not sure if this counts as a creature, since it's pretty plant-y. Personally I think it's close enough. WIP:

Ran out of colors for a background :(

Came up with this guy today. Put the kid riding it in there because I didn't want just wings in that spot. At 11 colors right now so might need to rethink it some. So much a WIP.

Elk, you should definitely consider giving your robot unicorns robocop/cylon/sorayama style visors.
