This is the last sketch I've done of the alien species in my novels, drawn several months ago. I really should update the design, because I still think they look too humanoid to be believably alien. Any tips on changes I can make?

Add roundness to the forehead and add some dynamics to the neck, such as the appearance of a neck joint by making feathers break over the neckline. They look like they have bare skin.

Okay, thanks. That's actually a really good suggestion to make them look less human without looking too monstrous (which is what I was primarily worried about.)

I'm also thinking of having their general posture be a bit more hunched over to give them a resemblance to Archaeoraptor (pictured), but I'm still on the fence about that.

Maybe the arms can match bird talons instead. Make the eyes wider(in a typical alien fashion)or give them a unique pupil. Not too sure what to do with the beak, but I'd personally make it a bit longer. All in all, it's not too bad actually.

Just keep at it and you'll find a design you'll want to stick with.

@ Luggy Luggy gg man. I gotta go though. Some other time?
GG too lad. We are pretty much at the same level in terms of skill, though your Captain Falcon destroys my Doc easily (those stomps kills him so bad). But yeah, GG.
We can fight whenever you want lad, as long as I'm free to do it.

LOL This guy on FG beat me with his little mac then changed his name to "uranoob"

When I 2 stocked his Yoshi (who I was playing as), I changed my name to "scrub" then he immediately left after I beat his Shulk.

So satisfying.

Why do people even have to be ***** like that? Its almost always the bad players who do that crap--the good players never do that (some exceptions exist of course). Either way it was hilarious to watch him change monado arts without knowing about the animation afterwards only to get upsmashed by Yoshi's foot :4yoshi:

I only bull**** if both sides are doing it and are fine with it.

I feel like doing it to degrade someone is kind of poor sportsmanship.

Eh, they both taste the same to me. Maybe it's because I've drunk more diet soda than regular, but I never did find a difference between the two.

Have you ever had a dream that you're running from something and you can't escape?
It's actually a pretty common dream for people. I don't remember having one though.

When I was younger, I would have dreams I was running (and hiding) from a Carnotaurus. Specifically one of the ones from that Dinosaur movie by Disney.



This thing.

I think my dreams try to get me to run away from something, but I always end up fighting it DBZ style instead. :laugh:
I haven't had an actual dream for 2 years.
Every other sleep past then was either entire blackness for 5 seconds or a loading bar.

My god. I really hate the "Recover stat boosts a Metroid stole from you" challenge. It doesn't seem too hard, but then Metroids never show up. I swear I've put more time into Smash Tour than any other mode because of this stupid thing.

Dammit, Smash 4 really put :4drmario: low. Without wavedashing and the nerf of his tornado, he really suffers with the engine of the game. I still like to play him, but my god his matchups are weird.

Also, I was looking on google "Smash 4 Tier List" just for finding the Japanese tier list, and found this.
So apparently, :4dk: is the worst character to play in the whole game in this tier list. Well, only in a tier view. It's weird though, I always thought DK was higher than that, he's still a cool character in competitive play. I know it's only a tier list, but it's fun to see where your main is for people.
