Spore Creature Creator - Carbuncle

I swear, this music is so soothing.
Almost tempted to go back and redub over it with a badly imitated British accent and talk about the Carbuncle in its native habitat.

This was an interesting challenge. Carbuncle has evolved a bit since its appearance in the Final Fantasy games. I had originally wanted it to look like its latest incarnation in FFXI, but that was turning out to be rather difficult to pull off with the color, shine, and overall shape. Instead, I took that base idea and added some adjustments based off the older versions - to include head shape and fur color. This is the result.

I'm really pleased with how this one came out, and the kits (Would baby Carbuncles be kits?) look adorable as well. Of course, I spent a decent bit of time just on the mouth, nose, and the placement of the ears in order to get them looking - and sounding in the case of the mouth - just right.

So, enjoy the fruit of my toils - The Samaelian Carbuncle.

Very nice! :D I wonder how you people manage to create such cool creatures, mines suck.

[RisenDevil]

It just takes a lot of time and commitment, really. I spent at least an hour just on the head, and I haven't a clue how much time I wasted with the tails - which required fooling around with limbs.

yeah, but why is the ruby blue now? although the ruby is some of the most important things of carbuncle

[RisenDevil]

Spore Creature Creator only allows for three different colors overall. Base and two patterns. If I had made the gem red, it would've ruined the overall coloration of the rest of it.

Alright, I'll readily admit this is just bloody adorable.
