let me show you me beautiful spores

al / xeno | they/them | 21+ | main blog is @yourlocalxenomorph3

on hiatus as of 6/19/2026; will probably return around october

i just make little creature guys. little fellas. if you'd like you can request stuff via asks (though there's no guarantee i'll do them in a timely manner) (please. please do not request humans or humanoids or anime characters. i made Goku once and i'm not doing anything like that again)

i also do the "three emojis" art meme; if you send me three emojis, i will design a spore creation inspired by them!

btw, this blog mostly uploads on a queue! it's scheduled to post twice a day :) creations are usually made days or weeks before being posted, depending on how full the queue is

HERE IS MY LIST OF MODS AND OTHER RELEVANT INFORMATION (updated: 4/23/2026)

if you like what i do, please consider tipping me via my ko-fi!

terfs, proship, radqueers, zionists, nazis, etc will be blocked if you unironically refer to yourself as "problematic", that's cringeworthy to the point of absurdity and you should probably get help. also you'll be blocked

i've asked on the Modded Spore Discord for help with this, but seeing as how it's a very new and emerging problem with no clear causes (or solutions), there's not a whole lot the folks there can do

I love seeing all these builds that take evolutionary possibilities in existing creatures and then making a unique animal that looks like it could still exist within our world. Very cool.

What are some of your favorite builds that you’ve made over the years? The most complex/difficult? The cutest?

Spore can be pretty intricate on its own, but do bear in mind that I play the game with a lot of mods to maximize the creative potential!

Spore wasn't my first venture into the speculative biology/evolution genre, but it certainly gave me a boost! I love making creatures that look like they could plausibly exist, as well as coming up with biological and ecological ideas for them--a lot of my creatures (many not posted here) are made with clear intentions in mind, such as a pursuit predator with heavily modified limbs for taking down prey Here are some posts about my favorite creatures and favorite vehicles and buildings from a couple years ago, but I definitely have some more recent additions that I'm very proud of!

This grotesque, gory thing is one of the most complex things I've ever made, falling just short of the hard part limit that the game can handle. The wings themselves are one of the most detailed things I've ever done--each piece of the membrane is an individual part that had to be carefully morphed and angled to line up with the fingerbones.

I'm also immensely proud of this dragon. Like the previous creation, the wings were also the main focus. I wanted to make the most of this mod, Organic Help, that adds membrane parts, and see how far I could push it. Partway through, I also realized I could use invisible limbs to make the wings flap, and that ended up being the most popular post I've ever made on this blog!

As for the cutest, cuteness is pretty subjective, buuuut... I love this little horn guy.

this ask is from august 2024 and I am so sorry

It's hard to say! I've made a lot of things, and determining the difficulty I had with making any given creation is tough, since there's a few different factors that go into it. 1) The concept. Some creations come to me before I even open Spore--I'll get a very clear image in my head of what to make, and then I'll just make it. Other creations, however, take a lot of active thought and planning. This is the case for many of the emoji requests I make, as some of them are less straightforward and more abstract. Some of them end up being pretty neat, and some end up being... lackluster.

2) Time. Spore creations can take me anywhere from less than 30 minutes or more than 8 hours to make. This also ties in with the first point--if I have a clear image of what I'm making, I can make it pretty quickly, but if I don't have a clear image, it can take a long time to design something I'm happy with.

3) Complexity. Some creations have only a few parts, while others hit the part limit. The more parts something has, the more thought I have to put into it, the more time I have to spend tweaking each part, and the more effort I have to put into making sure Spore can still handle it by the end.

4) Spore's limitations. Even with a copious amount of mods, there are things that Spore simply can't do. Certain physics, the hitboxes of certain parts, the nature of things clipping through each other, the way colors and textures are mapped, the hard complexity limit that even mods can't surpass--some things just can't be done, or at the very least, they can't be done well.

Taking all of that into consideration, I think the hardest... was Goku.

hello! thank you for enjoying my spores :)

tentatively, this will be the case until october or thereabouts. i am extraordinarily busy with work and i am rarely ever at home anymore, let alone at my computer (self-employed petsitter and housesitter, which is a lot more complicated and a lot more work than you probably think), so i don't really have time for Spore.

i am planning on getting a new laptop soon, so i may have the occasional opportunity to make spores while away from home, but please do not hold your breath
