Hello out there to the internets. I completed the character model for the alien species I am calling the Malnurans. To sum them up – they are the bad guys. The other alien species I have completed will have vices but the Malnurans will be the ones that you could definitely call evil. And I tried my best to give them a frightening appearance:
Malnurans are the most vicious and aggressive alien species we have encountered so far. Their obsession with spreading their cult-like religious beliefs extends to the use of force. Their resemblance to evil creatures from old human mythology may not be a complete coincidence as they have been observed inserting themselves into less technologically advanced alien civilizations and declaring themselves supreme divine rulers. Somewhere during their history their pleasure and pain centers must have been crisscrossed as many of their daily rituals involve various forms of self-flagellation and torture. They are a sadistic and masochistic alien species that must be stopped at all costs. The ones with the larger horns are the leaders; killing them will weaken the resolve of their followers.
They will have greater than average health than the other species – they will have more powerful weaponry than average . Their science and repair skills will be somewhat low. Their ships will have average weapons and shielding – and they will contain many references to dark symbolism and will have a “cultish” look and feel.
The one to our right in the screenshot above is the leader version – it has glowing yellow eyes and larger horns. The one on the left is the standard version – with less prominent colors.
2 more alien species to go – and I also want to do two critters – I want to use them on derelict ships. I know I want to do an arachnid creature and a worm creature. I also had an idea to put “zombie-like” creatures aboard derelict ships. Zombies seem to be popular now so maybe that would be a good idea.
