Creatures Caves

I have seen all the others,but the Mitch Philips design sure was new,not to mention very very beutifull,too!
The head shoot with blue shades are adoreable and I like it a lot!
the colored head is very well colored and shaded,very pretty and wild exotic looking,but even if I do know it supposed to be same kind of Norn,it dosn't scream Norn to me much on that picture just..maybe because of the blue nose..or the headshape having too much lion fluff mane around..hmm,no it is something that is slight differ compared to the others.But it sure have beautiful patterns!
I do adore the full body one trying to grab the insect,as well the other that is sleeping is soo cute! Somehow they remind me a little of the boss Du'Inke from the old good PS1 game Legend Of Mana http://www.seikens.com/media/bestiary/gfx/lomduinke.gif
(there's also another called Du'cate,wich has black skin and no axe)

I see he was the art designer of another old game I have as well,Primal.
Thats quite interessting.

Interessting fact is also to see two from creatures been working on Medievil,also another old ps1 game I have.
(Anyone else think on the Zarok like painting in C1 again?
Alltought it is impossible because of of the year they where made - Creatures=1997,Medievil=1998 )

This Norn concept would fit to be the next gen of Norns if you ask me,
it's so fluffy and cute,love the tails,pattern and those little fangs.
It's allmost like next gen of C2 Hebbes : D
-yes,sorry thats how I type it,so do not remind me of any misspelling- I can't write hebe without adding that other b,it's just my quirk)

Speaking of Norns and Creature design - I have no clue if Spilgames stil up for trying theyre hand on Creatures,
being a mobile game,the expectation is not high,but im still curious of what they had in mind,specialy what the Norn design would be..
I still think FC was way too much leaning tailess mogwai style,only th heads had a slight hint of C2.
The summer prew they promised us never came to be and still no news about it.

Ah anyhow, of the old Norn concepts - I allways liked the ant-eater like one (long snout,bunny like ears and lemur tail) as well the other design of it with a cute twisty tail and holding a carrot. I also liked the little one that stand and sits down,having a ball like tail with stripes - it was quite uniq. They may not scream typical Norn perhaps to me,but still Norns appear in all shape and forms and I would not mind if they where extra addon downloadable breeds. (I can picture this for C2/C3 and any other but not quite C1 thought,alltought I know thats where they where first designed for.)

I could add as well that I found the old Hebbe design compared to the current ones in C2 - copy&paste link to see :

(Sadly,I do not have the right head on the front,
as I remember it looked different,it had a different nose,it was more like the noses of the C1 Horse/santa and PMN Norns and not the human like one. If im lucky I might have a image
somewhere else in my files and update this image with it. But to make clear - those old design Norns where found in one of the Creatures Village sprites,and I think they where used to past old screenshots of Creatures Adventure and Creatures 3 (as seen in very old and early released screenshots with that,Im pretty sure I also have those screenshot images with it somewhere - I used to collect on everything Creatures related when it comes to images but the oldest stuff was saved on old floppy discs when i was young and no clue how much of that is still working -sigh-). So it is not me pasting in a C2 hebbe front head on a old concept image (why would I anyway? ) beause the head do look strange and badly cut out and pasted in,hmm.
if you don't belive me you can have a look yourself in the sprite files of Creatures adventure.

No wonder why Petal and River have that cute fluffy tail ;P
I once had this crazy idea to revive the old design as a seperate breed for C2 (as the acient hebbe Norns) - alltought some would maybe think it may be a waste,but eh,I think I do it as a personal project at some point,as I find it cute - also there is recolored existing breeds,so why not?
