Alien Request by Transapient on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

A few days ago, my friend Tektalox requested me to render some exotic aliens for him. I tried to make them fully alien, so hope you like them!

On the left is a ubm'zm'bitm. They are peaceful, boron/silicon based entities from the outermost reaches of the universe. They are a very long-lived, and very ancient race who have spread through to inner spheres of the universe. They are about 5 1/2 feet tall and live mostly within giant orbitational space cities with artificial enviornments. Their home world featured ammonia as a solvent, and the atmospheres of their ships include ammonia/methane vapor. They breath through a single large nostril between their legs. The legs have no bones, but are supported by hydrolic muscles. They also absorb food through their feet. The large quil-like extentions of their fur manipulate objects through electromagnets. Atop their heads is a crystaline growth surrounded by trilobite-like eyes. This structure acually communicates through radio waves. The tiny floating structure to the right of the indivivual is part of the ubm'zm'bitm themselves. They call it their "mnab" and it is their primary method of sensing. While the main body houses only the most basic senses, the mnab is able to detect light ranging from microwaves to x-rays, various chemical odors, precise temperature, sound, and the magnetic feild of a planet analogous to a GPS. The mnab conects to the main body under protective fur between the legs, above the nostril.

The center sophont s an emooo. These are 12 foot, flying bings native to an iron world with a sufuric thalasogen ocean. The atmosphere is very 20 times thicker than earth's and so the emooo are able to glide and fly very well on their proportionatly small wings. The wings support three pairs of nostrils which pass the mostly sulfur air into a system of book lungs which diffuse energy into the body by osmosis. The manipulate tools with the tenacles at the front of their bodies. They have limited x-ray vison and communicate in part by subtle internal body language. Their main sense is "illae". This sense interprets electrmagnetic waves as something analgous to smell. They move by either hopping around on their three sturdy tentacles, or flying in the thick atmosphere. They pocess very strick and dangerous mating rituals. Females may grow to be 12 feet, but males usually grow to only five feet. Once the male preforms his elaborate senting dance for the female in a privat room, he will mount her and jab his razor shape phallus into the female. Meanwhile, the female slowly devowers the male head-first. The male's phallus will detact from his body and fuse with the females reproductve organs for the rest of her life.

The being on the right is Sen-614. The sen-614 are a flying protoplasmic race native to a planet with a mostly helium atmosphere. They are specifically hydroen based life forms, their planet is very cold. They are held together with magnetic bolds between hydrogen chains of differing energy levels. This also acts as their "genetic material". They have developed a technology based mostly on ices. They have been able to spread to other planets with the help of other species which they found very interesting as they are a friendly race.
