Hey Hydromancerx!

I have long been fond of those Nauceans: it even inspired me to do my own race and website ([link])
Anyways, i was wondering: how do you draw your creatures? Are they scanned in, or are they done on illustrator with live trace? I have illustartor cs3 i think, but i don't know how to make my creatures look good, like yours!

Any helpful explanations/tips will be extremely helpful!

Because I said so, that's why!
Thanks! I hand draw with a #2 pencil, scan my pictures and then colored with Photoshop.
When i scan my images into photoshop, they normally go all horrible and fuzzy, so i normally transform my pictures into vector artwork. Do you do this?
When i was looking throughout your gallery (Which is very cool) i noticed it didn't appear to look too computerised, if you know what i mean.

Thanks for the tips and hints by the way, i really appreciate it.

P.S. Are you still into drawing creatures/spore related stuff? I'm a huge fan, and thanks to the Naucean i decided to create my own site! [link]

Nope. I just set my line drawing layer to "multiply" and then color with layers under it. At minimum i have a line layer, color layer and 30% transparent shade layer.

Not as much for specificlly Spore howver I do an alien ecoystem project called "Sagan 4". If you would like to join we would be happy to have you.

Cool site! I'll probably join once I have figured out how to draw my creatures on the computer.

What is SO frustrating is that i have tons of drawings at home, just i can't get them right on the net. If you look on the main page of my site [link]
you will see my creatures head, but i haven't coloured it. I don't know how to make different textures and stuff.

Any ideas? By the way, i really do appreciate the help. I keep feeling really helpless and baffled by this technology; its completely new to me. I hope i can grasp it =$
