early creature edtor images from the art of spore, this one actually showcases various early mouth parts!

a few more images, one actually showcasing a prototype inaccessible to the public, which was used for the skin paints

theres also later screenshots from the creature editor, this one being from a screenshot outright calling the program CreatureEditor [DebugRelease]. the background strangely really closely resembles the hidden cell editor background?

you can see its REALLY similar to cl_editor_base.rw4, with the only difference being the dais (the creature editor one has some debris on it and an apparent ground texture). i guess it does explain why the cell editor background has a whole giant 3d environment with walls and everything (but no ceiling), and the fact that the dais has some depth at all as i have shown here

also this creature editor screenshot showcases a creature thats found in the final game still, still called dragone, and it seems to look largely the same aside from the paints and also the early one having osteoflippies on the back

theres also this picture that seems to be a concept for how the background was going to look. ive never seen this anywhere else
