possible nightmare fuel
Sep. 14th, 2010 11:47 pmAliens for space project SOME MIGHT BE TOO HIDEOUS IDK...but all are designed to be sentient/civilization-based!

Kinda reminds me of those ikran things from Avatar EXCEPT UNDER THE SEA. Telepathy desu. And y'know. No space travel cuz...thumbs??

Oodles of noodly arm extensions for bodily support/sifting food/pressing buttons. I love the bottom lmao it's so...*sits

Screams. Megamouth with eyes on the back so they stay out of the way of eating. Nostrils on the top. It strikes me as a very cynical kinda guy...just. *SCOWLS

Looks old and friendly and wise and fragile. Fast as hale, extra bone and horns on the skull for all your high-speed headbutting action, and a little bone on the hands for. Y'know. Swatting at things like a girl.

TERRIFYING EXCEPT NOW I'M SLOWLY BECOMING CHARMED?? It just looks like this forever-disgruntled middle-management worker who can't get people to get shit done. Belly crawling, snapping up food, etc...The feelers are stronger than they look.

Date: 2010-09-15 03:54 am (UTC)Yeah it's hard sobs. I'm trying to make them weird but also...y'know. Functional in a sense that I know how to design things around them and make a culture believable and it's a pain in the rearend

Date: 2010-09-15 03:56 am (UTC)LMAO THIRD ONE...I bet they're just really pissed off all the time because they don't move very fast and every other species is in such a damn hurry. I'm sure moving sidewalks were one of their first big hit inventions...

i figure it swims with its head tilted slightly down so the bottom jaw can catch things idk. I just kinda realized that skinny neck shouldn't be supporting a head that heavy-looking so I might make it an herbavore with a kind of hollow skull...THAT FLOATS........I'LL MAKE IT WERK
Idk aliens why are you so impossible to visualize outside of the normal species sets. WHY SO THUMBS??
