Alien in vidya/Design your own alien

It's just a sign that you're in a immature hobby where people don't go out much.

Hold on everyone. Before you point your pitchforks at me, just hear me out. I have those hobbies too, I love nerd shit like tabletop, but you would never get those folks in gun or car culture.

What are you talking about?
I go to a shooting range down south and you will find some of the most autistic people on the planet in there.

This guy aliens, the Tauroh, are a good concept. Hexapod aliens which live in a tidally-locked planet, and so conflic by resources/habitable land have been really common. And then just had a nuclear war, and now (for the Tauroh), civilization have crashed and now they are in a post-apocalitic nuclear war life. Yes, you hear me, Metro 33/Fallout/Stalker alien mode!

Fuck, I put one unrelated image. For those who want the background of the fourth bizarre drawing:

The next few million years are marked with a surprising set of changes, as an impoverished global ecology begins to heal up its old wounds. For example, three million years hence, the Homo genus has rediversified into multiple species. Most of the descendants of humanity lack the extreme creativity that landmarked Homo sapiens, but kept or improved their physical endurance. However, there is one species in particular that broke away from that trend. First evolving 2.5 million years hence on the island of Hawaii (as in the biggest island on the chain), Homo novus are unique in that they have specialized brains while letting the rest of their bodies go to the wayside. Due to their hideous infantile appearance, they are colloquially known as Babyfaces. Living on their isolated island habitat, they have no predators to fear and are some of the largest animal life on the landmass (the feral canids that used to roam the island went extinct when an exceptionally bad drought struck the islands with the first onset of the ice age). This resulted in a lack of need to develop powerful muscles for running and killing, and the Babyfaces quickly became striders. Instead of sprinting and throwing things, the Babyfaces stride across the island and feed on the diversity of endemic fruit. These frugivores must rely on such food stuff, as their jaws have been reduced even more that humans. More than this though, they have smaller, more compact brains that have even greater intellect of their ancestors, Homo sapiens. While the Babyfaces never made any fancy gizmos, their artistic abilities would be the envy of even the best literary experts. In fact, if one could get around their ugly appearance, people would probably consider the Babyfaces' story just as good as the best literature humanity has made, with many layers, interpretations, and analysis being placed within each tale. However, the Babyfaces' peaceful life was bound to end.

This drawing would also be named "The Last white male is killed by an african hunter"

No offence but these drawings are really bad, they look like stuff my brother drew in high school.

I want to fuck that.

Whooo boy lemme just say STAR CONTROL

This series has all sorts of different ayy lmaos ranging from blue space broads to sentient clouds.

My alien would look something like this.

Their objective would be something similar to Invasion of the Body Snatchers. They steal the bodies of healthy adult women on Earth. They are a strange race and cant quite adjust to their new human body so they look a little strange.

But their strange appearance matters not because their objective is to find lonely beta males and begins to spout leftist garbage into their ears and turn them into soft pussies who make terrible animations. Eventual they will do this from male to male until their are no males of fighting age left, and then they will call back the Mothership so the boots on the ground invasion can begin.

This is how I envision the aliens to look. Do you think they are too grotesque ?

Agreed. We need to flood the vidya industry with more hentai. This is the only way to defeat the SJW's, and if you don't agree with me, you're a dumbass fence-shitter and you're part of the problem. Fuck all ya'll.

...

Devil survivor had some interesting aliens.

Your taste is shit, OP. Aliens are only good for one thing…

xenomorph fan art is almost always terrible. Of course Giger designed them to be sexual creatures but fan art never has any of his subtlety. "Artists" just slap tits on everything and call it good.

You betcha.

Why did you guys ever think this girl was shit?

Cause she's an actual genetically defective ayy

post that fetal alcohol spectrum disorder GIF comparison

gayest shit

The problem with most aliens is that their creators are either completely unimaginative or they're too scared of deviating from the norm. Can't stand there being humanoid ones everywhere. Fucking fantasy games have better alien-looking monsters than most science fiction shit out there. Example being Displacer Beasts

If you're going to post porn, at least post something that isn't shit. I find the worm-like aliens in OP's post 10x more attractive than the trash you just assaulted my eyes with, and they're not even sexualized.

humanoid ayyliums only came about because it was easiest to film on tv shows as it's the cheapest option

/xen/ please keep it in your pants. I like unique aliens but then you come in here and make it weird.

The displacer beast is from science fiction though. It's the couerl from Voyage of the Space Beagle.

That's all fine and dandy and I completely accept that for ye olden days, but technology moves on. Even cheap, barely functional CG allows for more freedom with your creations. There's really no excuse nowadays for most, if not all of your aliens to be "Human, but we slapped a beak/shell/googly eyes." It's not hard to add a tail or some other feature that helps to make them stand out and add to their concept. At least make them look interesting if you're going for a more plain appearance and not just give them vagina mouths. Even Lovecraft and those who built on his universe had more interesting humanoid designs. Funnily enough, he himself was disappointed with the ayy designs back then

Sorry user, but it's 1am here. What did you expect? It's not too late you know, it's a steep spiral into madness and I love it

I honestly completely forgot, my mistake. Thanks for the reminder though since I still need to check that out. How is it?

Not really. Think about ME, the ayys with the most screen time were all just human reskins probably because they could use the same general body models and animations. Tech is still limiting us.

Thanks but no thanks, it needs to at least have a female body for me. The xenomorph or wraith is about as far as I'll go.

...

What else should I call it then? also I never go to /xen/ so I wouldn't really know

The actual /xen/ itself should probably be called /xenlite/ tbh

cheap will always be cheap

Well, more like the amount of money and effort that goes into development probably wouldn't be worth the payoff. The tech is fine, but I get what you're saying. Still wouldn't hurt to have something more interesting. Even from ME, just take a look at the Geth. Cool design that flows into their concept and gameplay, different variations for more fun, and most of them still use the same models as the other less interesting races. They're probably the best thing to come out of the series in my eyes. Legion romance never ever

I always just referred to them as abominations/aberrations since that's how most people view such things, but an user in an old thread replied calling it Teratophilia. Apparently that's a term for love of deformations, which I guess is close enough. I like it most when they don't have eyes and aren't lame xenos or when they have too many eyes/mouths on their body.

If you go to the non-snek thread on /xen/, I posted a bunch of shit near the end in March. Most of it is pretty tame compared to what else I have

A-fucking-men my nigger.

Shit.

I like the aliens to make a modicum of sense - ya know, they should look like they'll be able to build and use tech

I always had an idea for a synthetic type of alien race where they're simply a floating cloud of a certain metal, that can shapeshift into various components of said metal.
For example 6 of these ayys would be able to shapeshift into massive cannons and their ammunition, fire off a couple of rounds, then the ayy that had shapeshifted into the ammo would shapeshift into a dart and make its way back to the cannon.

I like the aliens in civ beyond earth even though the game itself is shit, should have let you play as the aliens

Come to Texas, the only state where you can talk about MtG and guns in the same building and everyone will know equal amounts of both.

user you wank off to creatures from Pitch Black, I think you need to step back a bit and stop being so suicidal.

devil survivor 1 > devil survivor 2

JUST

They both had their strengths imo.

This man is right. The people in my shop know a pretty good deal about guns and cars, but either play DnD on the weekends or have a massive mancave of old video games and consoles back at home.
Even so, don't come to Texas. This is literally one of the worst states with the shittiest weather and nearly everyone here is either a Jesus freak or a maniac. I'd live anywhere else if I wasn't under oath to be here.

Hey, you never know. Maybe the Bioraptors just needed some love and affection? Riddick could've probably seduced the one at the end if he tried really hard. He probably didn't because everyone else was there watching, which is understandable.

The size comparison with a human makes me think of meandraco's stuff.

Bioraptors in Pitch Black were awesome and underrated, IMO. They werent xenomorphs, but flying superagressive nocturnal piranhas would be something that should have appeared on any of the two Riddick games, or if a new one were released.

They should just make a game about Darwin IV where you are to scan and collect info on the various creatures while not being a retard and getting killed.

Agreed, it needs tact to get that across.

I think it's amusing that most people will bring up the "star trek" comparison with it's aliens. This is mainly due to the fact that, even if Voyager was terrible, it had some gems in the junk.

>one of them was hot for mr tatoo faced dude

Ascendancy was innovative in its aliens species, that had interesing abilities that could be used in the game Althougt many of the species had sitthy/usseles abilities

Excuse me the crap quality of the webm, but im not an expert in webm making.

True, but that was an exception, meanwhile, Star Trek Discovery (Or STD, LMAO), will have muslim fish-nigger people as "new" and "exciting" aliens. And these aliens are rebotted klingons

EXPEDITIONS II WHEN?

I don't know what Kalgrost is, but those first two pictures are just tacticool slivers.

kalgrost.deviantart.com/

Sorry, what I should have said is I don't know or care what Kalgrost is

You faggots have shit taste but geth are pretty good
Also green ending worse ending

That can't be healthy.

Absolutely disgusting

always report xeno sightings

...

Why would you spoiler the wonder of alien birth?

Fucking shit, if this is the best you can offer the life of an alien autist must be pure suffering.

like clockwork. Take my (you) and leave.

well quarians have a fucked up immune system, so shes likely fucked in more ways than 1 anyway

do you want narrow hips too faggot?

Reminder that, while having literally-human ayys is fucking retarded, having needlessly complex ayys what don't even have fucking arms is also stupid as shit.
Remember what they're supposed to be able to do. Remember how they're supposed to have been able to build starships and everything. Can't do that with hands like 's first pic.

Oh cool a Spore thread

also what about alien robots/androids

Seems accurate.

And they fly around in WH40K tier spaceships as designed by king Raithwall too.

Stop it user!

It burns precious!!!

ruh roh

Apparently the dubs agree.

user they're Star-Angels

Ahuehuehuehuehuehue.

Any of you watched the Alien Planet - Darwin IV documentary?

Just curious, have you ever played the Metroid Prime series? Would the "scanning" function be like MP's scan visor?

The best answer. Superb taste user.

I played this for the first time earlier this year and was beyond amazed it was released in '92.

Also features aliens that exist in more dimensions we do (the crabs in your picture) and aliens that live in hyperspace.

Star Control 2 is what Mass Effect wants to be like.

Fuck it, my webm is crap so here is the embed video.

Yes, but is average/mediocre to whgat should have been.

...

an emissary of the Galactic Doublenigger Empire!
ships quite cool tbh, too bad shows gonna suckass

I agree they just don't fit in remotely anything to do with Klingons or really Star Trek in general.
The "reimagined" Klingons are horrible though.

tbh I hate these designs that don't take into account things like hands for fine tool manipulation which without we'd be fucked no matter how intelligent we are

This, so much this.
Please just fucking stop making shitty no-armed ayys with no means to manipulate anything.
Nothing pisses me off more than playing some sci-fi strategy type thing, where we've got ayys flying around in massive fuck-all ships that they're supposed to somehow have made with literal fucking hooves.
No.
Just no.

What petaQ designed this piece of trash pretending to be a Klingon ship?

Maybe they're telekenetic or they domesticated some helper spacemonkeys to build all their stuff. Or they salvaged the tech from someone else. Or they built the tech so long ago that they have devolved away from fine motor skills.

source of drawing?

Clingons are shit tier anyway.
Buncha scrubs pretending to be amazing fighters, when all they are is a warrior race.
Warriors are trash-tier. A bunch of scrubs what never can stand up to a real fight, who whine about 'cowardice' and 'muh honor', when their enemy has the sensible idea to put a little bit of strategy in their warfare.
See, there's a sharp contrast between a warrior and a soldier. A warrior fights to fight. He longs for glory, for the excitement of battle. He wants to fight.
A soldier fights to win. To survive. He longs for an end to the battle.
A warrior will fight you with a hand tied behind his back because he believes it 'honorable'.
A soldier will fight you from 8km away with an artillery strike because he actually wants to win the fucking war.

Usually they don't even bother to add that, sadly. They just say "Yeah these ayy race, don't question it".
I can work with the devolution lot, if they're using some fancy advanced cybernetics and whatnot, but most the time, they just sit a bunch of limbless things out there, with no justification or explanation, and expect them to just magically be able to engineer the tiny shit required to get out of cave man tier, let alone into orbit.

just no

what would they domesticated them with if they're unable to even do basic manipulation?

salvaged how?

tech that takes into consideration their degeneration?

I wish I knew myself.

Would it be more palatable if I said "an innate ability to manipulate gravitons or scalar fields" rather than "telekenesis"

Not as surprising as you might think. Both cats and dogs are now thought to have self-domesticated to a large extent. And there are all sorts of commensal and symbiotic relationships out there.

You know some other advance civilization crashes/dimension shifts to their planet with no survivors and the primitive species recovers it and are able make it work because it has nanomachines or worker droids that can take dictation or can make a direct interface with any prospective users.

If the tech was self repairing largely autonomous I don't see why not.

They were only 'self domesticated' in so far as they got free food by hanging around humans, since humans had a fuckton of the stuff.
They sure as hell didn't learn to obey complex commands on their own.

How are the primative species supposed to adapt the tech to their own without basic manipulators?

unless you can find me an animal which can do this on earth then you can't sell me

well if I accept that as is then both creatures will have to have the same level of intelligence while also being sentient enough to understand the others intent to such a high degree that fine manipulations can be conveyed

o.k so lets say humanity decided to collective kill its self as is. assuming more humans don't evolve from monkeys again much sooner then the first time around by the time some other animal evolves, everything humanity has ever achieved will be in another deep layer in the earths crust, so sure there maybe some bits of ruins around left over but nothing to really carry some animal who're at "lets use bones as clubs" and furthermore lets say we build robots which can function regardless that can look after anythings needs and wants then some lesser animals get it to look after them, why would these animals evolve when there's no conflict or hardship demanding them to? since there's a robot making their life easier

but if it's not able to self alter for a changing species how would it even know how to support them and if we're getting into super AI nonsense, surely they'd just replace said species

I was about to post that exact thing. Not only that, the camouflage implies the following: that their eyes work the same as ours, which is very wishful, since eyes are specialty tools, evolved for a very specific purpose. Making realistic ayylien societies is something extremely difficult, to the point that you would need to be an evolutionary ecologist and psychologist in order to get most details right, as in:
That alone is a fuckload of work. My take is to essentially have a writer or two who are actual biologists and one who's your storyline writer.

No, no, no. This is a very hard sci-fi concept, that would stick out like a sore thumb.

their eyes look like clown shrimp eyes, so I'm guessing it's just a case of "picked three random animals lol stick'um together"

It's better than this

Nah bro, that's pretty okay compared to the industry standard.

greys at least look plausible even if they're just fagot midget humanoid trash

If it’s a “Klingon sarcophagus ship” then these are obviously reawakened ancient Klingons. That’s what lets them do the egyptian aesthetic and make them look like dune coons (but of course they’re also niggers because niggers wuz da fairohs goyim, you must accept it!

If they look sort of insectoid like the 2nd to last in your pic, I guess. Still, would be nice to see something more out there more often.

yeah I agree

Peacock-ass starship just looks dumb.

Don't get me wrong - i love crazy-colored aliums, all aposematic and shit - look at Covenant, shiet, those guys really loved colors, but this shit in this color scheme is just plain dumb.

...

yith are pretty bomb

what the fuck is this? no seriously who the fuck thought this was ok? is this like a weird fan film or something?

all of the descriptions of clark ashton smiths creatures were pretty cool.

why is there never any good alien fungus or plant life for that matter?

Snek

I also really like the design of Ethereals both from X-COM and XCOM

Are those worm things supposed to have dressed themselves?
How?

Absolute shit.

What do aliens actually look like?

Like HERETICS!

All evidence points to humans currently being the only/first species of intelligent life in the galactic cluster and possibly known universe, how does it feel knowing that Humans are destined to become The Old Ones?

you just want an excuse to dump xeno porn
do it you fucking faggot

I understand for Yamato's and Ronaldo's but why can't he be saved when we choose to kill Polaries

those are fucking nipples

Feels amazing actually, think about it, humanity is destined to become an unstoppable force with no equals. Masters of the heavens, boasting feats of technological and engineering superstructures lesser mud dwelling species can't even dream of.
