Spore Creature Creator: Fantasy Film Creature Round Up!

So one week later, I’m far from the only person attempting to create 80s film icons with the spore creature creator. I collected a few other noteworthy creations that I found, some Henson-related, some not. Plenty more if you search on you tube.

Keep in mind that right now the Spore Creature Creator just allows you to create creatures on an empty stage. Come this fall, these creatures will be populating planets and galaxies and building civilizations. I wonder if EA thought through the legal ramifications of all these copyrighted characters appearing in their game. Should be interested to see if anything comes of that.

Another take on Ludo (Hair is a nice touch, but I like mine better. :P )

Fiery! (with unfortunate music)

Skeksis

Gonzo

And here are a few others Labyrinth-era creatures that look pretty snazzy:

Gizmo:

Unicorn! (We’ll pretend its from Legend):

And my personal favorite, FALCOR!

Monster Making

So yesterday saw the release of the Spore Creature Creator, a preview of the highly anticipated game that comes out this fall, and I had to give it a test drive. For those who haven’t been following the game, Spore is basically a life simulator that goes from the cellular to the interplanetary level. While hundreds of other nerds immediately flooded youtube with videos of phallic spore abominations, I decided to attempt to create something a little more… family-friendly. So here he is, everyone’s favorite monster, Ludo!
