Digital Monsters - From Sprites to Art

    Hey everyone!

    I would like to start an old kind of trend for myself... From Sprites to Art. what it basicly means is: The small pixellated pictures are being transformed in higher detail and shadowed line-art. Since Starbound has a LOT of different monsters, I thought it could be quite the challenge to do this :).

    Note: Since a few keys of my keyboard has been broken down, I can't take screenshots, as one button of those was the PrtSc button. On the plus side, this means that YOU can be the judge of what monster should be drawn next :). I will NOT take characters or NPC's, only monsters. Please either send me, or post below, the sprite of one or more monsters, or even a simple screenshot, from Starbound [as the Wiki, unfortunately, doesn't have them].

    Bosses are pretty much already detailed, but I can always look in those. However, first I would love to focus on the actual monsters.

    Technically it dos but it isn't implemented yet :p
    But I think I understand what you want. You want randomly generated creatures right?
    I thin I can find some interesting ones :p

    I found a great one where it was one of the bipedal guy with like armour on his chest but he had the serial killer like head with the big purple colourless eyes and an axe tail with red blood on it. It also made a horse noise and I almost crapped myself when it jumped out of nowhere on a sketchy jungle planet. But I do this, I might submit a couple monster drawings and un drawn monsters to here if you'd like.

    Any randomly generated monsters are fine.

    hmmm that black-white monster from the Sector Alpha desert planet surely took my attention though :3

    I can't do digital art until I get a drawing pad that links to the computer... Mostly because I'm terrible using a over sensitive mouse or touch pad... But that up there looks good.

    What? Another one already? Why not!

    This one was so cute to me, I just *had* to buff him up in some quality.
