C.O.W. - topic ideas - post 'em!

[leckronium]

"It came in through my window!"

"It wanted to have a tea party!"

...man I need to just go to bed already....

KILLER SPERM

YES!!!!!

[Hyver]

haven't read through all the previous idea's, so at risk of being not really original:

a Conceptrat

in honour of Hamsta's typo on IRC

[oracrest]

Beholder!

[redehlert]

Not a topic idea, per se, but mr. dougbot's tutorial gave me an idea. What if the winner of a COW then posts a 'how I did it' tutorial? This could be added to the winners circle or in a new thread (e.g. winner's how to tut). I may be on crack, but dougbot's timely addition helped me big time.
Peace!

[Sok N. Wett]

yes good idea Dave, great way to get some tutorials from pro's

[Fozzybar]

hmmmm....i don't know....this could deter members, who don't have time or just don't want to do tutorials...if someone wants to do one it's ok, but it shouldn't be something like a rule...

We want to keep the gate as open as we can...

[redehlert]

That's cool - an 'optional tutorial' sounds good. Thanks for considering it.
Cheers,

i hope the next topic will be better than the last 2

[Ostrander]

I second that

[Fozzybar]

the better the suggestions are the better the chosen topic will be...

[Sok N. Wett]

underwater land creatures
Illuminating Night creatures

[fungi]

how about:

sirens
ancient temple guardian
flying behemoths
battle yeti
abyss giants

[Peepers]

"If the readers of conceptart.org were granted god powers and one day all came upon a planet, with climates similar to our own, on which they each decided they would plant their own species to develop it's own culture, nation and eventually inherit the planet for themselves, your would-be dominant species would be:"

[leckronium]

how about:

sirens
ancient temple guardian
flying behemoths
battle yeti
abyss giants

I think sirens would be interesting to do. It would definitely be challenging but if we don't challenge ourselves then we will never learn. To be a little more specific how about "Sirens of the Deep"?

[fungi]

sirens dont live in the deep.

[Xpose]

Creature of the desert

[strych9ine]

sirens of the desert

[leckronium]

sirens dont live in the deep.

I think this can be taken many different ways other than the mythical creature. It might even be more interesting to do if you look at it as a warning siren. A creature that creates a warning siren or song for others in the deep whatever. Deep could be water, space, caverns......it's up to you.

[arteric]

Just brainstorming here... forgive any duplicates from this or past posts.

"Bladeface"
Mouthless Creature (how does it get food?)
Undead Creature
Tracking Creature for Alien Police Force (Like a Bloodhound)
"Gaurdian of the Gate"
It Lives Under the Cemetery
Swamp Scavanger
Warbeast (A creature used in battle)
Summoned Creature (Brought forth by magic)
Boneless Creature
Feeds on Nightmares
The Ultimate Hunting Trophy
Planet Eater
When Species Collide
Leviathan Killer (What hunts the giants?)

OK, these are just a few... will try to come up with some more as time goes by.

[Prehistoric]

Darwin's Trashbin.

creatures that didn't quite make the evolutionary cut.

[Kaoki]

how's about you choose a selection of the suggestion (6 or so) and we get to vote? so many choices have been dissapointing

[Fozzybar]

It's a nice idea, but i don't live for organizing polls...C.O.W. is taken up so much time currently, i can't add another feature...

[ATOMICsizePENCIL]

How about a creature birthed from human ignorance...

I dont know how it would have spawned..maybe on a metaphysical level, but in any case, its primary functions would include things feeding on ignorance of course, and in the process eating the sensibilities of its vicitms leaving them devoid of motivation, dreams, and energy.

It would reproduce by completely taking over a humans ability to function, which would spawn a new 'nignog' inside the humans soul. Can also affect other creatures, except for the fact that other creatures generally tend to have strong instincts, which do not allow the breeding of 'nignogs'. However, dogs are one exception

[ludwrathjd]

-A creature that catches prey with saliva
-creature with best hearing on earth
-creature with best sight on earth
-its main diet is house pets or domesticated animals.

I also support Dixon's suggest names of creatures idea... and here are mine:

-Two toed beatle eater
-South American canopy leaper
-Flying kootchoo
-Eastern Mountain Wazzo

*edit- deleted previously posted idea

[Chia]

Dream eater(s)
Intelligent creatures
Decaying/barely alive beasts
Dis/Graceful beings

I'll try and see if I can do something for this week's CoW though. Though I probably won't have a lot of time. >_<

[Knight of the Cross]

A manifestation of the thoughts, desires, and emotions of an individual. The depths of the soul made real. Different traits/characteristics of the creature can represent the feelings and desires of that person whether voiced or not. As in those secrets you keep hidden inside formed into something that is yourself and yet separated from you...

I don't know. It sounded sort of cool... If it might help then great.

[young paddy1]

a creature that pops in and out of existence to do your bidding
a creature to gamble on (like dogs, horses etc. but not obviously)
organic avatar
it pees the best drink in the world
it craps diamonds
love bug
insects as technology
tree eater (all of it, not just the leaves)
brain sucker
massive, moves fast and eats slow
superfast predator/prey
gas giant cloud dweller

[skullsquid]

-Speed creatures/creatures built for speed

-Abyssal predators/deep sea

-Tropical prey bird

[Kent Caldwell]

A carnivorous plant would be cool, although I'm being completely unoriginal in my suggestion....
