There are a lot of different ways you can make monsters/creatures so I don't have one specific suggestion about the how. What I would suggest is play a few levels that have creatures you like. Then ask yourself, "What is it about them that I like?" Is it the shape, the color, the movement, the details, is it the sounds, the way they interact with the player? Make notes about what you enjoy or think looks good. Then when you go to build your monster keep those things in mind. Don't copy directly of course but you can take the best parts or ideas of many creatures and re-invent a new creature. I'd also recommend reading/playing through the Character Creation Contest threads from CrazioMario here on LBPC. There are some awesome characters in there and they may help inspire you too. Good Luck!

Irridia's Gem has a really nice boss. May I suggest playing that level and taking a photo shot of the boss. Then, you can paste the photo onto a piece of cardboard and trace it out. Finally, add some plasma emitters...... Just kidding. But, I personally will look for creatures on the internet, print it, and model a creature while using the picture for inspiration.

Why go to the trouble CCubbage - I give it away as a shareable prize on the level.

Why shouldn't you? Nobody can tell you what levels you should make, so it's your decision.

Sure... make a level that interests YOU. Not something you feel the majority will like. ..it's almost scary what most people play these days in looking at page one of the cool levels. Ick..

I know that this is out of this thread, but i want to have as much options for my creations as possible so i have next question . Is sticker pack good or waste of money?

Depends.... I personally think decorations and materials are much better than stickers... because the stickers are so specific - I personally like the monster pack and the history pack for this reason. Little cartoon characters are SO hard to find uses for, even if they're interesting.

I'm a little late here, but if you want to see a truly amazing boss/monster/dragon, check out OIL_'s "The Ancient Castle". It's an example of design, details, interactivity, and difficulty done right.

It depends on if you can find a use for them. I agree with CCubbage - level kits with materials are much more useful but some of the stickers are good too. Monster and History pack have some great stickers but if you don't know how or when to use them they aren't as useful to you. I buy them all but I just throw money at MM because I like the game and want to keep interest up.
