Description
Concept: TiptoeThe creature lives in the deadland where food,etc are almost non-existent, the creature's body structure has evoled to the most simple and basic form, it's very light and fragile, only keeping what is needed for survival.
The food source of the creature is the most unique of all, it feeds on sound. Via the ultra thin webbing between the circular shape holes, it absorb sound waves and the energy is process in its special organs, filtering out the good sound waves. The sound nutrients is then store at the pouch-like organ at the back of the head,etc and the different wave nutrient results in the bright multi-colored skin. Due to its fragile body and bright colors, it becomes easy prey for predators, there fore while it feeds on sound, it is often in hiding and very very quiet, giving it the name Tiptoe.
At the center of the creature is its most vital organ, it is protected by the structure of the torso and legs. This is also where the creature's offspring inhabits until it is ready to be born.

This makes no sense. Sound would not provide it the nutrients or the energy a living creature would need to survive. Simply turning kinetic energy from the sound waveΒ into energy it can use would use more energy than the sound wave could provide. Even if it didn't it would so much energy when it changed it from kinetic to potential energy that it would gain almost nothing. I'm only bringing this up because you put so much thought into this creature, also I love your art and this is going into my favorites.

Very neat! It really looks like it could be a real organism, though to me it looks like it would live underwater.

I'm making a roleplay almost exactly like what you described and I'm going to use some of this guy's creatures and more.
Note: A ROLEPLAY. Not a book. Not making money. Just for entertainment.

Love how it feeds off of sound and it looks like one of those aliens off of War of the Worlds but mini size!

i would have thought that if it feed on sound waves and filtered them out, then it would make noise.....but awesome concept.

This looks like something that should have been in Stephen King's "The Mist"

This is one of the most unique descriptions I've ever heard. Nicely done!

That's an interesting idea.. I guess it could be done. There is not a lot in energy in everyday soundwaves though, so it would have to use *very* little energy and/or be in a very loud environment.
Additionally, you'd want a dense atmosphere or fluid for good transmission of sound. Depending on what materials are in the colourful pouch and the red organ, your creature could withstand high pressures from the look of it .. and maybe warmth, because this allows sound to travel faster and easier.
So I'm thinking.. maybe near volcanoes on a comparably big and young planet with a dense atmosphere? Volcanoes seem to be quite loud.. 
Hmm.. my knowledge on molecules is not sufficient yet to say whether it would really work though.. *plans to take more classes on astrobiology*

crazy cool concept ! I like the idea you had with the creature and her strange way of feeding.

This is SO deserving of a DD.
Such an alien design..man I wish I was a good enough artist to do creatures for the COWs... =o

Wow... I ahve no words... I simply love it! I wanted to find one of this while I were exploring a planet

Very interesting concept idea. I like your way of drawing it out with a size comparison. Neat little creature.

This creature is beautiful.. What an amazing mind and imagination you must possess! O= I am rather jealous. I also desire one of these creatures. :3 Would they be docile and very timid if they were to be kept as a pet, or would they perish if removed from the wild?
It reminds me ever so slightly of the Toothfairys from the recent Hellboy movie: The Golden Army. I wish that I could possess one of those, also. I find them to be adorable. x3

I love the fact you made a story to go with it. Brillant work!

wow. this is the first time i saw a creature that feeds on sounds.Hell, I can imagine the creature if he goes to a rock concert.lol .. Very nice, clever and unique idea.

A very awesome creature i really enjoyed the explanation but one wonders can it eat its own sounds? Kinda like its own perpetual food source.

i absolutely love how it doens't have any resemblance to any living creature on earth (that we know of... stupid deep oceans). Kudos! very creative!

that is a really interesting idea, though i think a lot of sci-fi fans would beat you senselessly with how an organism really would convert sound energy into its own energy
but, i think your picture is a real inspiration to how it actually could be done!

possibly the most unique concept for an organism ive seen in my stay in DA...

So like, if they frequented concerts and musicals, they'd be fat? Love the concept btw XD
