Alien idea (well thought out)

<div class="IPBDescription">Can i get an artists help?</div>Okay, I have been brewing on an alien idea for a while, trying to perfect it. I realize that really this is Flayra's brainshild so this more than likely won't be included, but I'd like for him to think of some of the features.

Okay, time to put on your imagination hats:

This alien is biped, In fact it only has 2 appendages. It has extremely muscular arms (Almost unpropotionally thick).

It's forearms are what they walk on. The forearms are actually more muscle covered than the bicep.

These aliens have no hands, their forearms shape resembles a large oval. At the end of this oval 3 bones protrude to serve as claws.

When this alien is walking, it resembles a human with no lower-torso trying to walk on his hands (well, forearms).

The claws/bones extend and retract.

Their is a large bump on the aliens back.

The aliens face... It really dosent matter. The face dosen't do much for this alien. I imagined a face kind of like that in Coil's avatar, but the lower jaw a little bigger.

This alien has no neck.

Where legs would be on a human being, this alien has a large tail. The end of this tail kind of resembles a barnacle from halflife (just the meat part, not the hanging part). The tail can move all direction but is usually held in a scorpion like erectness.

/me takes off cap of make-believe

Features/attacks

Attack 1: Leap
Attack 2: Blind
Attack 3: Tail Grab
Attack 4: Deathblow

This alien walks very slowly.

His first attack is a leap attack similar to bobs. This costls little energy as it is his primary way of moving around. His leap attack is much farther than bobs and hurts marines in a larger vacinity (because this alien is larger)

This alien can hold control to stick to wall, but he cannot wall walk.

This alien can shoot some web-like substance from his tail's "mouth". If it comes in contact with a marines head, it temporarily blinds him. It will cause him to move slower if it comes in contact with his body or arms, and even slower if it hits his legs. This would have a slow rate of fire and cost much energy to prevent spamming. The marine can still shoot at all times.

This alien can bite foes from a distance with his tail (about 3 feet away or so, not a huge distance). He has a chance of taking the marines gun away if the attack conncets with the right hitbox, throwing his weapon to the ground (notice i said chance).

Deathblow works like this, the alien does a front flip, slashes with both claws, and bides down hard with tail before landing on his feet (arms).


Animation purposes:

The alien keeps his claws retracted at all times except:

His claws come out a little when he takes a step, similar to a cat.

His claws are fully extended during the leap attack and the deathblow attack.

His claws are extended while stuck to a wall (because his claws are in it).

Demensions:

Claws: extended, 8 inches long.
Claws: retracted, 1 inch long (just the curved part shows)
Forearm: 3.5 feet long. Very thick around, like 26 inches.
Bicep: 3 feet long. About 20 inches around.
Shoulders: about 2.5 feet apart.
Head: about 1.5 feet longer than shoulders
Neck: he has no neck.
Tail: starts where a human torso is. About 3 feet from shoulders. About 6 Feet long. Starts at about 36 inches around and tapers off to about 14 inches around near the tail's "mouth".


Can anyone understand this well enough to draw it?

    I understand, sounds like a badass, but they really arent looking to add any more alien classes.

    If you just want a drawing though, you can probably post this in the art forum.

    Why do the NES ppl always crowd up my topics. Yes, all i really want is a drawing. I dont really want this included in the game. Just for flay to look at it. I just like the webbing the face part honestly. I think the lev 2 should be able to blind marines <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->. I would love a drawing though. I would make it my sig like <b>that</b>. Any artists out there?

    the way the alien walks seems very similar to Sebulba the dug(dub?) in Star Wars Episode I
  • FreemantleFreemantle Join Date: 2002-06-16 Member: 783Members
    Kind of, his stomach would be near the ground, not his back. And he has no "legs", just a tail. His arms are also much thicker and his total body weight is about 210 pounds.

    w00t, ph33r my no-effort piece of crap drawing. seriosly, this is FAR from my best, im only giving this to yah to get the concept across to people who dont understand your mumbo jumbo explanation (about everyone else besides me <!--emo&:D--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'><!--endemo-->)

    without further ado,

    i think he wanted the tail on the opposite direction........
  • FreemantleFreemantle Join Date: 2002-06-16 Member: 783Members
    Correct: He walks with his stomach paralell to the ground. His tail is a bit longer (he can hold it like a scorpion's tail). He walks on his forearms. I have some decent drawing skill but no scanner. I suppose I will try later.
  • QUADQUAD Join Date: 2002-07-17 Member: 963Members
    I know he walks with it behiond him, but hes is using that tail biting attack you were rambling about...
  • MooMoo_the_SnowCowMooMoo_the_SnowCow Join Date: 2002-08-03 Member: 1057Members
    I think I know what he thinks it should look like but do to my lack of drawing skills I can't draw it.  But for an example for anyone who plays d&d think of a fire elemental fire kin, like a salamander or something, but with more mussle and instead of slithering across the ground pulls it self with its arms.  (yeah i know i cant spell that well.) <!--emo&:D--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'><!--endemo-->
  • FreemantleFreemantle Join Date: 2002-06-16 Member: 783Members
    I drew him! and he looks good!

    now to find someone I know who owns a scanner!

    To be honest, I dont like him.  If this was ingame, seeing something craw with its arms just reminds me of Quake or RTCW too much.
