<div class="IPBDescription">Post your creations here</div> I'm not sure what everyone thinks, but i believe it'd be neat if anyone who wants to, can create a new alien for NS in any program or use any medium they want! go wild! ^_^;
I might try something soon, whip up a nice new NS alien that i'd like to be in a possible future version of NS! haha...and give it a good name also!
Hope soon to see some great creations, we have some VERY talented people in these forums!

Remember, create in anything you like, howevr you want it to look, and give it a name also! And possibly list some of its attacks it can have! Hopefully some of the creations should turn out awsome!

I'm doing something now, its very shoddy since i have a lack of any drawing talent, haha, but i'll post it in not long
I can see acid rocket on it for sure along with you said devour.
If it has devour it should (By teh looks of its teeth) have bite.
And along with that I would thing it should have ram (Kind of like Leep but because it doesnt have feet you know ram...)
I know its not going to be added but thats just my observation.
It's like the evolution BEFORE the skulk, in its Wurm type phase ... not having many attacks except "Bite", "tail whip" and "Acid Vomit" (hehe, i like that one <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo--> )

Personally.... a fast snake like alien would be very cool <!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Yes... yes it would <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

Note that it WOULD be amusing seeing the two duke it out. Tyranofadeasaurus VERSUS RoboRine
Not sure what to call it, but it's like a large skulk or a fade on all four legs. Quick and with a devastating bite, tough as a fade. Not sure what disadvantage to give him.. probably sucky hive abilities.. <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->
Maby a shorter slower version of leap because he's heavy. And something like a sniffing attack that will give him temporary pheromones, and pherhaps at 3 hives a wallclimbing ability will become available, but no hive 3 weapon? <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
Maby I'll do something more serious later or tomorrow.. don't have time right now.
I actually think a scorpion like creature would be kinda cool, given it was larger than an onos or something similar <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->
*runs away to avoid flames*
Have you all seen the Two Towers, where Orcs ride the Wargs, that are like a mix between wolf and hyena? It'd be cool if aliens could get something like that. A creature that runs on all fours, somewhere between a skulk and an onos in size, for the fade to ride on. Probably not very practical at all, but it would look cool.

Hehe, a cybernetic 'buddy' for the marines would be nice, but only if it had really good AI. The commander would have to control it's movement via waypoints, but otherwise it would be autonomous.

So I sat down for like an hour and a half straight and hammered out some sketches. I was kind of thinking smaller for a couple of the drawings. As if for a small amount of res you could change into a "scout" type creature that has silence and acts like a sensory chamber in that it parasites any marines / marine structures it comes across. The rest of the pics are just different ideas that sprang to mind. After coming back to the topic I noticed some of the suggestions. I should have read them before getting started but I didn't. hope you like and enjoy! <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
*edit* I will resize images, Sorry I didn't realize they were that big ! <!--emo&:0--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wow.gif'><!--endemo-->

and I think the scout idea is cool. super fast, but really weak. not an attack lifeform so much as parasites, can jump like a mofo, maybe everything it sees is projected on hive mind/ map overview.
One thing I tried to do with mine, and that I think it'd be cool if other people did as well, is try to fit your design into the style that Cory came up with for the aliens. There were basically 3 things they all have in common:
1) vaguely mammalian body structure - so insect-like creatures, scales, etc are out.
2) the coloration and "infested" look, the green growth and the tan-ish tentacle-like structures.
3) spikes, spines, and other sharp pointy bits.
Anyway, have at it!
