Drawings done in last two days of a new alien race for my comic/story universe.

Some of the poses seem a little bit stiff, but other than that looks nice.
I like the head on view, but the profiles and diagonal views aren't right, I can't put my finger on whats wrong with them though.
Also, what's wrong with the modern society that every "alien" has to be basically human anatomically?
Because we have no idea what a real alien might look like. It's a lot more simple to just make something that has features of a human, but is also entirely different, as seen in the movie District 9...or the OP's drawings...Nice job by the way, nice touch with the biography/history lesson about their species.
No, District 9 used the basic human body because this is the only type of aliens we, as people, can relate to and feel emotion for, and it was very well done in D-9.
All I'm saying is that I'd like to see more varied aliens.
Also, OP, do you have examplesof the comic you're making/have made? Cause I do like your work.

The only comic I've ever got near to finishing is a recent one in the S.t.a.l.k.e.r universe that I did as a spur of the moment thing, so had no pre-planning, and the last 3 pages are still being done:

Very nice work, some of the stuff looks a bit wonky, but I love the fact that there is a "universe" developing in the background. Keep it up, and you should post everything from your comic universe some time.

Also, I really liked your Stalker comic.
A couple more: some different stuff but in the same universe - of the Mirachi, a group of aquatic and amphibian animals that gained sentience around the same time and became the first beings to achieve interstellar travel in the 50,000s (BC).
vehicles (all of which are living things, manipulated into weapons or armoured fighting machines)

As of yet un named recon/fast attack, "Propius Vis" - evolved species of shark and main foot soldiers of the Mirachi and the Alumni - Mirachi scientists/research/medical experts

@ Crisis
Some of your creations look like they were made in Spore.
Not saying that's a bad thing at all, just seems like a good way of making some nice 'natural' poses. :)

Who wears short shorts!?
I really liked your drawings, and I do agree, some of them look like they were made in Spore, though there's nothing wrong with that. I personally like the details of the aliens.
Reminds me of jar jar for some odd reason
Two more quick 1 hour ones done today:

The Mirachi were originally a orginally a [url=http://crisisomega.deviantart.com/art/Mirachi-Empire-89118935]big group[/url] of creatures that I had made on Spore, before deciding to include them in this universe (Though only the Shark soldiers, Dolphin leaders, Alumni scientistwhatevers and the "Refaar" (in my previous 'alien sketches' thread) are sentient ones now). All of my story universes are a mix-up of various things I do over the years that I then compile together.

They're technically not even wearing shorts, just a groin-pad and rigging around their waist to hold ammunition.
