Description
I decided to practice doing a more formal concept for the Minecraft creeper.I really want to know what Notch had in mind with the creeper. I always think of them as a sort of reptile/ bug cross. That's why in this one I tried to make the body more reptile-like, with longer pointier teeth.

WARNING! Carry on reading! Or you will die, even if you only looked at the word warning!
Once there was a little girl called Clarissa, she was ten-years-old and she lived in a mental
hospital, because she killed her mom and her dad. She got so bad she went to kill all the
staff in the hospital so the More-government decided that best idea was to get rid of her so
they set up a special room to kill her, as humane as possible but it went wrong the
machine they were using went wrong. And she sat there in agony for hours until she died.
Now every week on the day of her death she returns to the person that reads this letter, on
a Monday night at 12:00 a.m. She creeps into your room and kills you slowly, by cutting you
and watching you bleed to death. Now send this to ten other pictures on this one site, and
she will haunt someone else who doesn't. This isn't fake. apparently, if you copy and paste
this to ten comments in the next ten minutes you will have the best day of your life tomorrow.You
will either get kissed or asked out, if you break this chain u will see a little dead girl in your room

Please can you tell me the software or method that was used for this. I'm training myself to use art/design software.
This reminds me of dead space and ratchet and clank

Large one reminds me of the Ravager's from Warcraft. Pretty much the same thing, if you added two more legs. lol

Creepers were actually supposed to be pigs, just notch made the main body go vertical instead of horizontal. Liking the bizzare effect of this he changed the skin and made them explode

This is kinda like what I've always thought, just I thought alot more spikes, but smaller and somewhat loose. They were described as crunchy like dry leaves so like a match rubbing together with all though dry plates on its back.

Here's some words from [link]
Notch has described creepers as "being crunchy, like dry leaves".
They were based on a failed pig model Notch had created.
In Survival Test...Before creepers spotted the player their heads would droop down...Creepers behaved much like zombies except their attacks dealt only two hearts worth of damage...After taking damage, it would flash as an indicator of impending detonation. When killed, this creeper caused a 4x4x4 spherical explosion that left a sizable crater, destroyed plenty of blocks (with the exception of stone) and hurt any players nearby.
no, I have have no idea how notch got from "creepy failed pig model" to exploding stealthamabob, but it happened

I have a similar drawing(but not quite as skillfully drawn), that has baby creeper eggs inside of the shards.

Actualy, they evolved from an ancestor of the pigs. The are related to them like we are to monkeys.

I bet They live in packs, and the smallest/weakest one has to explode, and if you die, they feast on your corpse

can i use your concept art for a reference I tried doing that on 3D and when i found your work it got me totally exited that someone did a concept design of something I have been on my mind for so long I cant draw so seeing this really makes me happy so asking again can I use your design as a reference?? i will be giving credit for the reference ^_^

I like the greyscale you are using. I tried the same thing in this [link] Sort of stole the spike there on the shoulder but I like the shapes.

U do in fact know that you can cancel the explosion if you move away a certain distance (larger on hard mode) after they go "SSSSSSSSS" (Run REALLY fast though, cus they Xplode in 1 second after they go "SSSSSS").
My brother proposed another idea, that they react to your character's body heat.

As *Cpninjagrrl said, The creeper was a failed pig design. [link] was the original. But after Notch had noticed he failed he changed it into the most gruesome creature in the game. He then described them as being 'crunchy like dried leaves' this could be the possibility of the name 'Creeper' due to creeper vines.

I'm not sure if you knew this, but
the creeper was originally a failed pig model, explaining the four legs. xD;
And then he used it xD

I think that he said they're some kind of plant. I always thought the explosion helped spread the seeds.
Anyway, I really like all the variations on creepers people do!
