Fanmade Spectrobe Designs
These concepts are fan designs for a game I loved as a child called Spectrobes Origins. It had captured me with it's unique take on gameplay, creature obtainment, and especially the creatures themselves. It's original publishing studio, Disney Interactive Studios, was closed in 2016, and I don't think there's much hope the series will return.
Here, I have challenged myself to make a fan-made creature and it's evolution line. I used concepts of creatures from the games and it's style to construct what I think would be a good fit for the game. I used themes of electricity and metals, and took inspiration from certain species of snakes that go through ontogenetic color change, such as emerald tree boas.
A large yellow and brown snake-like creature with cubit anatomy, saw-like horns and claws, and electricity beaming around them. This is the third and final form of this creature.
Same as the first image, but the electric current is hidden for clarity
Concept sketches for the third form. This includes three variants of claws and horns, each one being interchangeable and acting as different types of weapons. Some initial sketches can be seen at the bottom.
An orange and scarlet snake-like creature with large, clawed arms, glowing teal accents. This design has many triangular shapes and themes, and is the second form of this creature.
A concept sheet featuring sketches of the second form. This includes two poses, and examples of horn and claw variants.
A small red creature with glowing green accents. They feature four floating panels to act as legs, and have others that act as their horns and spikes. This design features rectangular shapes and themes, and is the first and smallest form of this creature.
A concept sheet for the first form. It shows multiple poses of the creature, as well as a fossil of it, a gimmick of the game Spectrobes that allows players to collect new species. Their head shape took inspiration from an electric plug.
My original concept sketches for all forms of this creature designs. Each form gets another panel, horn, claws ext... added on. Two in the first form, three in the second, and four in the third and final form.
