It's Finally Out!!!


Hey NG users! If you remember, earlier this summer I kicked off the Creature Collab (2022)! Amongst the fanfare, people of all talents were encouraged to create and submit creatures of all shapes and sizes! From hulking beasts, to a literal brick, there's a cretin in this here collaboration that you're sure to love!


And, against all odds (and some serious procrastination on my end), this group of talented artists, programmers, musicians, and I, now present to you the final form of this mish-mash of a concept: the Creature Collab (2022)!! Thanks a ton to everyone who participated! These designs truly do bring a smile to my face. I hope to see you all next year!

@weirtyuo for making the title/ logo! Such a great style for such a great collab :D


Nellyfluff, who seemingly dropped off the face of the earth after creating their creature. We hope they're alright!

Thetageist responds:

Vidyabatter responds:

do you like green eggs and ham

Asskick247 responds:

Thank you and nice

wonderful display of critters

i wonder if i will ever see them again

When did this happen? If I knew this was happening I would've stuck my grubby little mits in there, I love drawing wee beasties :(

OneDude20 responds:

submissions wrapped up in late august i think? cant remember LOL

keep an eye out for next years collab tho ;)

if we do another one of these next year, I think being able to include description for your creature would be cool, like the trophy descriptions in super smash bros.

Lord Humphrey Jebediah Wifflebottom the Third:

After living in a monestary of Hulk Hogan impersonators for much of his youth, Lord Humphrey Jebediah was inspired to pursue higher education to have an excuse to leave. Lord Humphrey Jebediah graduated with a degree in the fine arts, and he now spends his days living off benefits, crywanking, and wondering where it all went wrong; his cool sunglasses and anarchic personality hide a lifetime of torment.

OneDude20 responds:

hmmm u might be onto something!!

Thetageist responds:

Ooh, that's a fun idea!

Pretty decent collab! For what it is, this collab does a decent job at making it a bit better than your bog-standard slideshow, as it uses a rather stylish shelf display layout. Other niceties in place are things like being able to click on the artist's name to go to their profile and achievements. There are some little things I'd liked fixing up, like hiding the up/down arrows when there isn't anything to go up/down to, making the arrows react to hover, and fixing the weird glitch where scrolling to the next screen auto-selects the creature in the same position as you previously selected last screen, but it's for the most part put together alright.

I kind of wish it had a bit more to it: when I heard it was a creature collab, I kind of envisioned being able to see the creatures move about and such in a fish tank or ant farm environment, or even see them locked up in test tubes like some SCP lab you can explore, but that's on me for expecting way too much. Having said that, though, I was really surprised to see that hidden easter egg: hiding it after a few shelves of empty space, the glitchy name with the secret youtube link, what a cool little treat! Bit of a bummer that I feel that most might not make it that far to see it, but on the other side, it does take some chutzpah to create such a cool thing that not everything might end up seeing, so kudos on that!

Thetageist responds:

That’s what I thought was going to happen for the final version too (it would’ve been so cool!) But I know OneDude had some trouble trying to find a programmer and, after the first guy couldn’t do it anymore, finding another one. So I’m happy it still made it to the final product after all!
