Abiogenisis's Birrins are pretty neat - he's got a few writeups for their civilization and tech.

Prehistoric sea-life like the Dunkleosteus and the Helicoprion are also pretty fucking cool.

Anything by WETA, really. Aaron Beck's aliens and the original designs he drew up for the District 9 prauns (and WETA's six-legged design) were also good.

Thanks a bunch, theres a lot of awesome stuff already.

Null sweat, chummer. If you can, get a copy of Barlowe's Guide to Extraterrestrials, it's an awesome book. Try Amazon or your public library.

>>53020618

>those ugly ass sandals

>>53021105
Yeah, given the way their feet are jointed there's no reason they couldnt just us bifurcated shoes, although it doesnt do as much to show off the anatomy, which is probably why he went with sandals.

Thats a problem you run into when depicting an alien race in clothing: you tend to not cover up as much as you should realistically. Humans wearing everyday clothes cover up a lot of anatomical features: nipples, genitals, belly buttons, hair placement, and even some details of musculature. Alien races never go out that covered up because the artist wants to show off the anatomy he's come up with.

you understand where it's at, chordatacentric biology is so fucking unlikely in any planet outside of earth it's not even worth considering.

This thing isn't anywhere close to being a top predator.

Maybe this thing is actually tiny.

Or this thing lives near something way more dangerous.
