If you’re a longtime Spore enjoyer like myself, I’m sure you’ve seen these videos or others like them, where invisible limbs (either with vanilla glitches or from the Dark Injection mod) are utilized to make creatures that float above the ground, giving them the illusion that they’re flying (or swimming).
But the most well-known, “tried and true” method has always felt a bit…
… janky.
This is achieved by attaching a single invisible limb to the front of the creature, which causes it to walk by hopping on that invisible leg. The single-legged walk cycle gives the appearance that the creature is flapping itself up and down, either flying with its wings or swimming by propelling its tail. The length and angle of the leg changes the stride, and in turn changes the speed of the “flight”.
However, I’m not satisfied with my dragon being so floppy. It might work fine for some creatures, but the exaggerated animation is simply too exaggerated for my tastes.
So I’ve done some experimenting. The method I came up with a couple years ago isn’t too different, but it has three feet instead of one.
This smoother motion is definitely an improvement, and it’s what I use for most of my floaty creatures. Yet, I still wasn’t satisfied with this dragon’s flight. The tail still feels a bit too floppy, and it looks like it’s leading with its chest rather than flying with its wings, as if it’s being dragged along by something.
This design proved to be a winner! The wings look more like they’re providing powered flight, and the floppiness level of the rear is more appropriate. The legs are a bit cumbersome, but since they’re invisible limbs, they won’t render when the creature is encountered in-game.
But as I was composing this post, I thought to myself…
can I make the wings truly flap?
The answer is yes, it can be done!
With another pair of invisible legs attached at the elbow joint of the wings, each with three feet, this dragon has truly taken flight! It certainly isn’t perfect, but considering the capabilities and limits of Spore, I’d say it’s pretty damn good.
The limb that creates the wing, the one which these new invisible legs are attached to, isn’t just cosmetic–it’s a fully functional wing limb from the Unshackled mod (check out my review of the mod here!). The wing limb provides the creature with the glide ability, complete with animation.
Miraculously, even with these invisible legs attached, the wing limb animates exactly as it should. I really did not expect that.
So there you have it: a dragon in Spore that is fully capable of flight, both in animation and ability.

Dragonformers Designs — VANGUARD 1
Tiktok got a whole image dump of these so I figured I’d throw them in for y’all as well. Each image has some minor details but I’ll go into them a little more below the cut (if I have things to say right now).
There WILL be more. Tumblr only has a 10-image limit, so we’ll have to cope with who I have finished atm. Tho some (Ultra Magnus and Ratchet) may need a style update to fit the future lineup.

Same but also with people in their 20s or 30s+ who just discovered drawing as a hobby and are also basically beginners
To all my followers who are learning to draw, regardless of your age…
Don’t give up. Don’t let those haters and trolls get you down. Your style is beautiful. Just keep going. You’re doing amazing, sweeties.

posts about disabled characters on here are always like “actually this disability would barely even impede their ability to perform expected warrior duties (which would be bad) (which would make them useless) and the books would be perfect if they could get that part right” and it’s always like okay what would be so wrong about them not being able to perform the same way. what would be so bad about them being impeded by their disability
