[Yiffy]

Life in space has been found.

[ThinXIII]

Gwalhur

Some people refers to it as "The Harbinger of Destruction". A god like creature that devours planets for it's survival. It uses it's tentacles to move through the galaxy, also has the ability of invisibility.

[Asmaedus]

The Fjergen-Jergen lives in subspace.

When it is hungry it exits subspace via Black Hole and proceeds to devour the nearest planet.

Boris.

Destroyer of worlds.

No legs, One tentacle.

Spawned by pure awesomeness as a side-effect of a nebula super exploding atop god's anus.

Epic.

[TurkeyOnAStick]

Orbit-Genius (who make sure the planets doesn't go out of order) or else it may go out of order

[JT1]

This COW reminds me of the NES game Abadox. Basically, you have to fight your way through a solar-system-sized creature that eats planets.

[Wivernryder]

I love how all of the submissions so far have earth in them. Being eaten.

[vylent]

I thought I'd try a different style this week :D

This Creature Is called The Fatalus
Its long body acts as a large intestine
slowly devouring breaking down entire planets.
These creatures start off very small only gaining energy
through the absorption of solar radiation, and slowly gain more
and more mass to the point were they can engulf full sized planets.

Nice theme

DAMN IT!!!
I'm missing deadlines here...
Okay, just start the 64 and I'll immediately get on it.

Thought I'd show you guys a wip to prove Im really doing something this time.

hope the pic doesnt get screwed up... Im saving it at 400% with jpeg quality 4

[MeMB]

Damn, these contests anger me. Everybody makes these awesome pieces and I just can't get myself to make something good. I always fuck it up or lose interest halfway.

But anyway, nice pics so far! :D

Be sure to make one though, Sure you might fuck up. But it is a great way to trie something, let it fail, and just try again next week. You will (probably) see yourself improve every week.

Not much is known about the Behemoth, on the rare ocasion of one of them venturing as far from the center of the galaxe as our solar system they might be seen as it passes over the sun, blocking its light.
It is though that these giants travel through space orbitting around stars and large planets, transferring the circular motion away from the star to 'jump' to the next planet/star.

I like the planet texture in this. Very cool stuff.

Here's mine. Probably coulda spent more time on it but it's getting late :/

this looks sooo WIN.

[jagondudo]

good heavens! hehe the work is getting more and more awesome everyweek! i think its those flashy titles turkey comes up with.

im really digging the sphincter colon earth eater thing [the fatalus].

j-qb that is super cool the plain eye and the head in profile kinda ruin it for me tho. but the body swooping over the planet is really nice. gives a sense of eerie quiet doom

zulucs i though it had already eat the planet and its belly was engorged with cosmic energy and junk. nice tho. very comical.

the other entries are cool too so far.

here's mine a bit rushed cause the deadline is almost over i think sorreh!

[jagondudo]

hmm sorry for double post but it might be hard to read maybe...

the nameless can only be described as a giant squidlike creature. its so enormous it has its own gravitational force which draws space dust and rock forms onto its body. its eye blazes as bright as any sun and the force of its stare causes dust surrounding it to rotate and give the illusion of a galaxy. it approaches unsuspecting planets and devours their atmosphere and whatever else gets pulled into its orifice leaving a barren rock. its basically a moving black hole with hands.

Thanks, Means a lot to me coming from you. There is some reflection in the eye, but it doesn't really come out at this size, think I should add more? Mind explaining what you mean with the 'head in profile' bit? some suggestion maybe?

here's mine a bit rushed cause the deadline is almost over i think sorreh!

Cool as always, though I have definately seen better from you. I couldn't really make out what is what on it though...

[allgunsblazing]

meet Phil, a giant bird like thingy (no wings though). It likes to step on planets and eat shiny space-rocks. Plus it looks like a penis.

[allgunsblazing]

oops wrong pic again. sorry :c

[ToxicAcid]

@Jagondudo: your art style and idea is amusing.

@ZuluCS: it sure looks great.. i couldnt see ur final touches in ur drwing like u said "getting late" still it looks great. keep it up man

There will be. If SirNightOwl doesn't remember I'll sort it out later.
