I have this one alien OC I drew back in 2021 named Captain Nip-Nip. I really haven’t done anything with him lately, but I will eventually.
I also like drawing Quisp, a cereal mascot from the 60s. He such a cutie!
It's a bird! It's a plane! It's a frog!
Oh my God, here's an alien character you would love to see
Condulge(he's on the right) he's a member of the indefinaritrum species or "defie" for short. He's a millennia old and has tons of powers, so he's immortal and proud of that fact. Such powers include teleportation, manipulating elements, super strength, flight, teleportation, any power or ability you can think of and very godlike at that. While he may not have any real kryptonite, his biggest weakness is his hubris, foolishness and sometimes nasty attitude. No matter what, he cares for his human friend EJ, has quite the sense of humor and also speaks in a heightened New England accent(since he's a cool uncle figure to EJ and that's where I live). If you want to see him in action, here's the playlist for the EJ and Condulge comic series, but beware of the bad quality as I wasn't ready to make a proper-looking comic at the time as well as my beginner status:
My favourite alien concept comes from the game rimworld. In the game there are species of modified humans that live In a primitive or advanced society. What I do a lot of in The game is imprisoning aliens and collecting there genes to build a super human.
a good chunk of my OC’s are actually aliens like these 2 which I like to draw the most
Their names are Dixie and Luna they’re both alien sisters who aren’t aware that they’re aliens and think they’re Pixie’s and live in earth in the far future
both of them are generally pretty dumb with Dixie being more clueless and childish and Luna being more of an asshole to everyone else
I love the concept of aliens! My least favorite of kind alien I've been seeing a lot of nowadays are the aliens that are nearly identical to humans, basically just a human with different colored skin and gills or something. Like the Tau or Eldar from Warhammer 40k. The Eldar are literally just humans with pointy ears yet seem to have no connection with humanity at all. The Tau are merely just blue humans. Sure their technology is different and possibly more advanced, but on every other basis they are just humans, what's the point in making an alien if they aren't alien to us humans?

I remember that game. That is some crazy stuff, but hey, surviving space is hard.

When it's live action, I guess you can say budget, but when it comes to CGI, what is it? I think relatability. It is easier to sell a figure of a more human looking figure than a non-human figure. Especially when it's a female alien.
Though that said, on the stream tonight we talked about how most aliens would look. My belief, and a few others, is that bipedalism, graspers, large eyes, and some sort of long distance communication, which audio is perfect for, are necessary for an intelligent species. The aspects of the universe sort of push an organism towards that, kinda like how certain forms keep popping up in different lines of life on earth, like aquatic animals like dolphins and ichthyosaurs.

Mass Effect did a great job at making you care for creatures of outer space..
Also, the fact if an human goes to another planet make Them the Aliens,
and this script rarely was touched on.
Like, Avatar (Blue people with tails) did it right.
But the sequel kinda missed the mark..
I think the Avatar sequel did some good things. I love the introduction of the Space Whales, which mimics what happened on Earth as far as why exploration continued (whaling). I think the third one might tie the first two together better. I believe in James Cameron. The man don't miss.
Anyway.
Rick and Morty did few things right.. And wrong of course. But I like when
the theme of outer space creatures are not just stereotypes or
re-hatched ideas.
I like those aliens too. The creativity the early seasons showed was really good.
I wish we had variety in the mix, like a more emotional connection to the worlds out there.
Even if I know we are too likely to never see a second sentient race that can build
shit to a higher degree than us.
It's up to us to create the variety for now! I hope that I do see something from another planet in my time, or that we have and we're not sure yet. I hold out hope for it.
Yeah, the idea is to not settle with one point of view. Just allow openness to the possibilities.
Space is quite vast after all. But fiction wise, there is always a theme to focus with
for either conflict or etc.
I think having depth in the plot of anything space related works best in sci-fi.
Unless the aim is for a saturday cartoon of course or.. The P-Word.

Things always evolving into crabs is something to consider as there are many different animals that aren't crabs that look identical to crabs. So while the idea of aliens that look like humans is something that not everyone likes, its one that I can sort of get behind since animals taking the same traits in the evolutionary tree despite their branches being nowhere near each other is very prevalent in nature. It's a big universe, so the chances of finding identical lifeforms to humans is incredibly low, but never zero.
oh epic, a signature!
My OC speciffic frogs are aliens from planet Hasian (Chloe, Michelle and Uesli).
I made whole trilogy of Michelle concept album it's has science fantasy elements.
But mostly i drawing fun stuff, not lore things cause it's frustrating my unhealthy perfectionism
Fighting against Dirstorion world

I love aliens! Still waiting to get abducted, any time guys. Take me away from this planet.
Anyways, I got a lot of alien OCs, here are just a few:

Oh yeah, armored creatures keep popping up. It's a good strategy really. However, intelligence doesn't seem to follow such creatures. Octopus are from a line of armored creatures, but the flexibility of being squishy and able to manipulate stuff has bigger advantages. I could see Octopus like creatures, but leaving the ocean might be a problem. I think it's gonna be something with an endoskeleton really. But yeah, it'd be fun to see!

Um. On Hasian there also live insect aliens, lizards aliens, fish/ sea creature aliens and shooms specific Shroom forest village.

Enough of it to say with 100% certainty that the US government belives in UFO's and non-human intellegence in the universe.
At this point, saying aliens don't exist is the conspiricy theory. You're actively disagreeing with the government if you don't think aliens are real.

aliens r kewl. i hope sum day they will come 2 earth and take me w/ dem on mars. cuz earth sux.
"infinite lulz!!!!"

Best aliens are ones that dont look or give off humanoid energy despite having such bodytype, futurama and star wars do that very nice, most of it's aliens dont feel like different colour humans. I think for example guardians of galaxy does it the lamest, all of its species just feel like different skins for the same character

Now obviously i don't think they're like the little green guys with the UFOs but we have never ventured beyond the Milky Way, i can't imagine there aren't a few single celled organisms just doing their shit. Idk the idea that Earth is the only planet to host intelligent life sounds far fetched to me.
In terms of Aliens in Media...you guys ever watch Paul? Watching Paul when i was like 8 is a core memory for me. I remember the scene where the one guy got a hole shot into him freaking me out as a little man LMAO.
Oh def, aliens exist. The universe is far too big not to. I think if we do encounter another being from another planet, it's going to be artificial. Though, generational ships could exist, but that might not ever reach us. Who knows though! There might be something we'd call "teleporting" being invented somewhere in the universe right now.
No, I haven't, but wow, that's a scene to see as a kid! 😆
even if the only alien lifeforms in existence are microscopic bacteria(-like) things, what are the odds that earth is the only planet with any semblance of life forms in it? IMO, aliens do exist, but the real question is: are there any multicellular aliens? do they have brains? how similar/different are they from us or earth? are they carbon-based? something else-based? is oxygen toxic to them (algae producing the stuff caused a mass extinction on earth). are they somewhere we can reach them? will they only show up after we're long gone? did they go extinct before our planet formed? are they the result of time travelers somehow getting stranded in a far away galaxy millions of years in the past?
fuu, look at all the questions XP
EDIT: saw your other post. the thing that doesn't bother me about there being physical similarities between humans and aliens (beyond cosmetic preferences of the author) is that there are chemical and physical rules for life to exist. also, the intelligent aliens will likely be physically weak and slow, too big to hide in burrows, but too small to scare others off. because intelligence costs a lot of energy, which is only worth it from an evolution standpoint if you can't simply brute-force things (can't open this nutritious fruit to eat? find tools to crack it. can't survive a predator's attack? make weapons to kill it. etc.).
ps. watch Paul if you get the chance.

Yeah, I also think if you do humanoid aliens they should have quirks that make them less human. Marvel really skimped on the makeup, and I think that was due to wanting the actors faces to show through more. Be like Vin Diesel, Be I Am Groot.

Yeah, lots of miracles have to happen for us to meet or even be able to shake appendages and be OK! And they have to survive that savannah or whatever environment they arise from. I still hold out hope.

I like many kinds of aliens in fiction, but if I had to pick a certain kind of alien, it would probably be the Xenomorphs from Alien, and the many species in Star Wars. They have that magical kind of quality that makes them look, well, 'out of this world,' while still looking like they could actually exist in real life. I do find the aliens that are just "humans with funky colors" cute though.
I do have an alien OC I made for the Alien Collab. Zank, a blue traditional type of fictional alien with a third arm to help make him look more alien-like. I haven't done much with him (alongside the rest of my OCs), just because I haven't been motivated to draw.
