Well, this is what my WIP looks like at the moment. I'm still not sure if I should go on with it or to start a new one.

 My (very) rough sketch. I am aware that the physics are shaky at best :P |

I've added some shadows and several details:
Still, I'm not sure this gonna work out. |

 A rough sketch. Something like that anyways. I'll replace the mini radio thing with some other music playing device once I'm done the bug. |

A very simple organism about 2mm long. Sound waves statically charge it's central nervous system enabling it's ear skin to pulse providing locomotion as well as detecting more sound sources. They are very rare on earth due to most loud sources produce heat which dissolves the ear skin, taking away it's mobility. Although they can remain dormant on the ground or in your carpet for years and possibly reproduce(if there's enough noise around). Yeah this is ridiculous.  Probably won't enter. ------------- |

 Added some texture. I'll probably, most likely, animate it once I figure out how it eats. |

Hmm, I might want to restart from scratch. I was concentrating on the 'consumes sound' part, without paying much attention to... anything else :D
I've actually got an idea for that- a planet-sized 'creature' that thrives off its inhabitants' noise! :) |

I was doing something with ears and teeth as well (not an awfully big leap after reading the challenge title, you're right) and wanted to see your results, too. Have to admit, your second idea sounds great, and if you can put it into a visual that would need no further textual explanation — you'll be my hero, but seriously — do not, please, do not drop your first picture, i like where you were going there. All it really lacks is some detail on the "dish", maybe, and a napkin around the creature's neck. Besides, not like there's a rule against several entries from one contestant in a single challenge, you could submit both. |

Does it qualify? I would hate to see my work go to waste... But more importantly, does anybody get it? |
Posted By: Fud0
Date Posted: 19 April 2011 at 1:12am
| What's not to get? Don't even need to explain it, really, a very good idea indeed. |

 Added fourth color. Need to make those notes more readable. Also stuck with bg D: |

Okay, I've started drawing... something. I have an idea or two on how to implement some singing creatures. Also, if 'inhaling' is not mandatory, I'll continue with the 'hungry ear' thing, too :)
Wippy wip (does it make any sense?): 
Also, nice wips&concepts you have here :) |

Nope, your creature doesn't necessarily need to consume sound via inhalation; I just thought that would make a cool title  Sorry if I misled anyone.------------- |

Aha! That clears it up :)
I have made some progress, moved the nose to the background and added an ear to the planet. Also snow. Will add some cities later ;)

I got a new WIP here! But probably it is finished. Any comments?

Now, I've added some horns and thinking of making that thing on it's forehead blinking. Anyways, if I don't finish it today, I'm out of challenge.

Posted By: AG182
Date Posted: 19 April 2011 at 11:49am
So, that's what I got: 18 colors, animation and transparency. I guess it's time to submit, I won't make it better anyways, as far as I'm experiencing lack of time.
Hope you enjoy it! |

| I might be missing it, but how does it feed off of sound? You might have a backstory for this, but it's not visually shown, and I would consider revision before submission in light of this. |

There's a story in the description for the submission, I didn't bother posting it here. Still, I can do that if you wish.
*** "Well, the concept of this creature is that he absorbes sound with its skin and accumulates it in its shell on the tale, just like a camel uses its hump. This shell is also used to hurt enemies, just like these little horns on the creature's forehead. The crystal indicates his level of charge. When it's out of food, which is sound, the crystal goes red, and it's blinking when the level is low. Consequently, green means OK. Moreover, it can produce supersonic itself with these little dots, or pores, under the crystal. Also, this creature moves like a worm due to its shape." *** I just didn't want to make another gargantuan ear or something. |

I was trying to do something, but my ideas are always better on my mind that in Pixel Art. :/ |

One gargantuan ear, coming right up!

A froug contains millions of strings inside its mouth. When a sound is emitted, whichever string with the same pitch will vibrate due to harmonic vibration. Sometimes, so many strings vibrate at once that the whole mouth will vibrate. When the string vibrates, it creates friction along special tissues that produce electricity. This electricity pumps its blood and gives it energy much like the human heart sending electric pulses. |

There are some awesome WIP entries so far! :)  A lot of work left to do on this guy, hopefully I will have time to finish it in time. Erm, he consumes rock music! :P

@Delicious I love how that dude's looking (or going to look, anyways!) but... is he not, erm, too humanoid? :/
Also, progress:

Yea, perhaps a bit too human-like, but I quite like that quality for him. Thanks!
Some progress:

Ohie! D:
Dumb me, I skimmed the rules and didn't read anything of that sort.. Then read the first line, haha. Oh man, wonder what I should do.. I'll look out for any loop-holes, and start to edit away from the humanoid figure. :P

The Treblemaker Floating into bedrooms in the middle of the night... He waits for you to scream and shout at his very sight... Consuming all eery noises with his tongue, the way do our ears... He feeds off all your dread, all your fear, and all your tears... The only way to rid yourself of this foul beast of nature... Is to watch him pass without making a sound, that vile treblemaker... Mmk...admittedly, I don't know exactly how to put this in the competition... I also don't know if the date shown is the last day to enter, or doesn't allow anymore entries that day!... Sorry for being a noob...but I made the sprite as soon as I saw the competition today with using 3 colors (including the white), and made a poem along with it!... ^_^ ------------- Tommorow never comes why wait for it? |
