"Waaah, I need to draw more original characters. But waaaah, I still have mojo for doing random fanart!"

...and so a compromise was made: Draw critters (one of my own Satarnian creatures in this case) that were designed using the Spore Creature Creator! Genius!

Horned Whiptail is available for download in my Spore account: http://www.spore.com/view/profile/Kompy

(Alas I only have the creator, not the full game. I'd do a commish in exchange for the full game, but I woudn't know how to go about asking for that, so...)
