Community Crunch 373: Yi Ling Concept Art, Creature Submissions, and More!

[StudioWildcard]

Revel in the wonders of Yi Ling's menacing appearance. With its sharp beak and even sharper feathers, it makes us ponder: How will Yi Ling integrate with the eclectic wildlife of Aberration?  We are anxious to see how the ARK community and Aberration treat our new arrival on ARK: Survival Ascended.

Let's take a trip down memory lane as we embark on our journey to The Center for our next Community Creature Contest. What will be the fan-voted real-world creature that will launch with the map for ARK: Survival Ascended? 

Please note that this creature will be released for The Center, so make sure your real-world submissions are in theme with that map! As previously stated, we’ll add an additional real-world creature for each expansion pack map release on ARK: Survival Ascended.

Check out the Creature Submission Guidelines for more information on the submission process, and hop over to the Creature Submission Forum to see the current entries. We are looking forward to seeing your ideas come to life!

• The entry period will end at 1 PM Pacific on August 14th.
• The voting will begin immediately after and end on August 21st at 1PM Pacific.

Make sure to check our Twitter on August 14th for the RankedVote link!

*Note that the proposed features for the creatures from the submission entry are meant to inspire their design, but certain aspects may still be modified.

We've made some changes to the creature submission process that you can see below:

• A single person or entity can only win once.
• Posts will no longer merge with similar submissions.

Hoped for more Aberration style looking creature.

I mean.. Yi Ling is good concept, but in proposed official style doesnt fit into Aberration mood. Looks more like Crystal Isles or The Center raptor.

Still kinda does

[Ikusu]

Only the creature concept. I hoped for a creature more suited to aberration . I hope we get some fantasy creatures. super hyped for ASA.

[ifeather]

Yi Li looks amazing with those feathers

[mike21276]

I was wondering Will Ark be at Pax West 2023 this year?

[Astergoat]

It’s time for the Pelecanus Schreiberi to go forth.

[Romuluas]

I can't submit a creature for the new submission, is it a bug or something?

I wonder what will win the creature vote for The Center and what the theme will be. I also think the Yi Ling looks…. Interesting.

[SomeDinosaurTamer12]

It honestly looks like a bigger and more menacing dodo ?

Sorry to be a bother, but I had thought it was just announced this crunch?

[Cedric]

Sorry, they should be open shortly!

[Dragons54321]

Why is there basically no actual information about anything. Nothing about the mass conquest bans still. Nothing about ASA. Nothing about the animated series. Nothing about ark 2... I'm disappointed in you guys. How can you live with yourselves when you do so much to let down your own fan base...

It really looks like it was announced, they gave the ending date and everything, the layout even looks like when they announce a vote, but maybe it was the wording.

[RaephClark]

So to clarify: does this mean if one person submits multiple submissions, only one can make it to the Top 10? Or if we win the vote we can’t submit again in the future? Just thinking about those who spent a lot of time and made a lot of progress writing up and drawing dossiers and such.
