How to design an alien creature...
2005-06-15, 2:07 PM #1
come up with weird bone structures and skin and add it to a human face.

I'm designing the FUrlings, the ancient alien race in stargate.

To date, they have never been seen, so I'm designing them since they will feature in my stargate mod.

I was also send it to MGM stargate team.
If they dont come up with something cooler than I can, then they officially suck

Anyway, heres the skin of the face.
They will also have long facial hair, since I want something very different from the other ancient races.

Code:
if(getThingFlags(source) & 0x8){
  do her}
elseif(getThingFlags(source) & 0x4){
  do other babe}
else{
  do a dude}

Very nice.

Please do continue with making your own design of this race, as I enjoy seeing something new.

I like the overall look of the face. The eyes might be too far in, limiting the peripheral vision.

I like it. =D It's like your stereotypical Roswell alien meets a Trandoshan.
Seishun da!

after a lot of blonde facial hair it wont look transhodanish at all
Code:
if(getThingFlags(source) & 0x8){
  do her}
elseif(getThingFlags(source) & 0x4){
  do other babe}
else{
  do a dude}

Make it have like, gray facial hair, not blonde. Or white. That looks awesome, by the way. Make them offer you 1 million dollars for it.

Just a warning if you're sure you want to send it to MGM. They have been shutting down stargate mods left and right as they near completion. It may be better to release your mod, let us D-load it and THEN send them your design. That way, if they try to shut you down, we already have it :)
Seriously though, I'm not to happy with MGM right now since they are really afraid of ANY competition to their game. I wouldn't be surprised if they took a mod for a 6-8 year old game and shut it down too. Just a warning before you decide anything.

[edit] Heh, forgot to comment on the model :o I think it's awesome! I really didn't have that in mind for the *fur*lings, but I still like it. It looks like it could break out in laughter or just as easily try to kill you. The best part though, is that it actually looks like it could be real. I applaud you for a job well done. [/edit]

Yeah it's a great design, worthy of being put in the show. You can send it in and just don't mention the mod anywhere. They won't ever know it exists.

the area between the eyes and mouth is too much of a flat, strethed plane. It looks silly, slightly comical.

hmmm I will take it into consideration

Don't.

It looks good.

ok i'll work on the side later tomorrow

Gave him a LOAD of hair.

I'm starting to successfully go for the whole rugged warrior look, even though the furlings were also known for peaceful pursuits

cept they were'nt pu**ies like the Nox

You should put this on a skin for Jedi Knight or something. It looks cool. Very nice job. It would be fun to see it outside the stargate mod. But I am excited for that too.

It looks really good but the rounded triangle head, I'm not diggin that part :p

2005-06-16, 7:49 PM #25
I think it would looke better if you had hair coming out of the top of the forehead too. Right now, the forehead just looks a little too big, even for this guy.

No, seriously, it really looks great. Incredibly realistic. :)

I wouldn't make them look too aggressive. They are the ones who made the "utopia" in Paradise Lost aren't they?
2005-06-16, 10:38 PM #29
No.

Nice.

Is that the hair from the bad guy in Myst 3?
No, it isn't. But it kind of looks like it.

And it looks nice. Really nice.

I don't like the hair on the latest one, I think if you just left the beard it would look awesome.

And it really, really, reallly reminds me of something.. An orange Desaan (s?) perhaps?

The bones around the eye seem to big to protect them, what are they for? And the tall nostrils? And the slanted almond eyes? You've put a lot of work into this it looks like.

Oh you mean that. That's a good looking Furling. And I'm amazed they've gone this long w/o really mentioning that race. We've seen 3/4 species of the "Great Alliance" why not the rest?

It's not reptilian, it's from another planet (probably, I don't watch TV).

Still...It seems out of place and unrealistic for a reptilianish alien to have human hair. Although I guess it IS an alien so anything is possible.

It looks very cool tho.

Heck, it's unrealistic to share any features of Earth animals, like eyes with irises and pupils, two nostrils, basically human-shaped head & hair, humanoid stance, et cetera et cetera.

We have to take some liberties with science fiction I suppose. :p
2005-06-19, 4:47 AM #40
ok I will work on it some more soon.

I think I will reduce the strength of the reptile skin, cos its not actually meant to have reptile skin, just dark rugged skin.

I will keep the head hair, but have it much thinner on top.

Will also consider different eyes, but I dont want it to look too strange, because its quite agressive looking already.
