Spore
I'm getting Spore for my birthday and in anticipation, I've been playing with the free Spore Creature Creator. It's pretty limited in terms of parts and patterns, but it's still fun. And you can share in the derp, below the cut.

That is one big blue bum / butt, lol (do you use the word 'bum' for bottom over there?)
Your pink, springy, spotty dragons look very happy. In fact, all your your creatures do, though I expect the Crocotauren is sniggering at the name of its reproductive process.
I think that you'll like the game. It's amazing to see your creations and those of other people come to life. I really enjoy the Creature stage, when your creature is running around a planet, gathering parts, making friends or enemies and evolving.
As your graphics are so much better than mine, you're in for a treat, some of the colours on the planets are beautiful. I was a little down today and decided to play Spore to cheer me up, on my new planet, I watched the neighbouring planet rise in the sky. Gorgeous.
As a sampler, if you want to, have a look here:

Yes, my graphics are bad but that sky, in the first picture is just a gorgeous shade. (That LJ only has a few entries)
I'm going to be a copycat now and share some more on my normal LJ :)

The colors really are beautiful. And your pics are lovely, so no more running them down!
Thanks for the compliments! I don't think mine are nearly as creative as yours. I started looking through yours on the Sporepedia and was amazed at the surfeit of cuteness. Now I'm off to see your latest post... and the kitty video...

- oh gosh, it's gone 4am here, I'm tired and rambly sorry -
Anyway, I don't remember the log-in for that LJ, so no comments necessary as I'm not necessarily going to know that they are there to read them.
Yours are cute and creative. And, once you have the game, you'll surprise yourself at what actually appears out of that ball of play-dough or as you are playing. I'm looking forward to seeing. I'd kind of forgotten what fun it was and what a brilliant stress buster / way to forget down mood.
(I'm not sure what date your birthday is?)
PS Just noticed Crocotauren's udders! Lol

Haha, I wondered if the udders were too subtle. They'd stand out more if they were pink...
Ball of play-dough is a very good description. It's so much fun to just mold it, too. Now I'm going to subliminally smell that salty play-dough smell whenever I'm in the creature creator.
My birthday was officially yesterday, but I've declared the rest of the month as still my birthday, because it might take me that long to get around to putting up my Smith kids for download, which I wanted to do as a reverse birthday gift.
Also, my family is notoriously late with birthdays. I once got a package from my mom in October. Someone asked what was the occasion and I said it was my birthday present. They were appalled to find out my birthday had been two months prior. But to me it seems normal.

I'm kind of curious if the udders wobble as it walks but I guess they may be up a little high for that and possibly the parts are a bit rigid. Ears are wobbly but whether they could be morphed into the right shape...
Really hope that you do enjoy it when you finally start playing.

I don't remember an udder wobble, but that would be hilarious. :D I used the "spiracle" part (I think that's what it's called).
ETA: I checked and they don't really wobble while walking, but do a bit while dancing - then I replaced them (temporarily) with the "mantenna" part and there was significant wobbling! xD

(Glad you had a good day)
