Worldcraft Round 5
14 years ago
And so we're starting Round 5 of Worldcraft.
We've let you the choice of choosing between 4 different planets and eventually the 'Pitch Black' planet was chosen to feature in Round 5. This poll was hosted on DA, as we mentioned in a previous journal.
Being the planet based on the movie Pitch Black, I hope you all understand that there will obviously be less choices this time around.
On the bright side, you'll be able to let your fantasy and imagination run crazy and create the ultimate survivor/hunter lifeform!
We're looking forward to see what you can come up with.
So what do we need this round?
1) Artists!
Do you want to join the contest in creating creatures, insects or environments?
Yes? Reply here so we can add you to the list of participants! (no notes)
2) Donators!
If anyone is willing to give the winner a prize (a free sketch or something) please contact us by sending a note.
Your icon will be added to our front page, along with what you will give the winner(s).
If we can’t find anyone willing to donate a prize, we’ll try to find something else to give our winner.

RULES
- Have fun! (Very important!)
- You have about three weeks to complete your entry.
- The deadline is Friday, July 29th at midnight.
- Once you’re ready, send us a NOTE with the link to your entry.
- The title of the note must be ENTRY 05.
- Every submission must be accompanied by a bit of text that describes how your creature lives, eats, etc. (Unless your submission is a story or a landscape, of course).
The description of your creature will also be judged and will count toward the points you receive, so be sure to put some effort into it!
- You may draw as many images as you wish, but you must specify which two you want judged. If you do not, two will be picked at random.
- You can make a sketch, line art, fully colored drawing with or without background, write a story featuring a creature, make something out of paper-mâché or sculpt something in clay
Anything goes! What you want make is completely up to you.
Although we encourage people to be creative in many different ways, there are some things we won't allow:
- Terrain generators (Terragen, Bryce, DAZ Studio, etc...)
- Pre-made characters (Second Life characters or environments, etc...)
These programs require no artistic skill since it generates everything itself.
It does require the ability to compose a beautiful scene or character, but that's not the point of this contest.
HOWEVER, we do not wish to be completely unfair towards those who like this kind of artwork.
If there is a large enough demand, we will expand our contest to include a separate section for computer generated artwork.
Currently we will not accept this type of entries.
THE PLANET
A planet that appears lifeless, but first appearances are deceiving. What was once a flourishing planet is now barely holding onto its status as inhabitable. At first glance, there is none. Above ground, there is very little. Underground, there isn't much more. Water is completely absent on the surface, but a couple underground rivers allow for a select few plants to barely survive.
CREATURES
1) The reason that the planet is so dead. This species is responsible for the extinction of nearly all flora and fauna on the planet.
VERMIN
1) Although it looks nothing like it, it is actually the young of the above creature. It parasitically feeds off its parents until it reaches sexual maturity.
FLORA
1) Living deep in the cracks of rocks and earth, this plant extends parts of itself during the day to feed from the sunlight.
2) Surviving only due to its immense mass, this plant is made up of a series of root systems not unlike Earth's grass, but on a much larger scale, usually found above underwater rivers. What shows above the surface is misleading as to its actual size.
3) This plant has managed to form a symbiotic relationship with a small population of the creatures.
LANDSCAPE
1) What you think the landscape might look like.
Contestants:
- Hivemindfury
- Tapeworm
