Community Resource - 20 Alien Races

Post by WoodMan »

Hi all! Ages ago I created 20 Alien races just for fun and put them into DW, the race file is now obsolete, but the race images have been sitting on my USB dongle thingy for ages, it would be a shame for them to go to waste. So I present to you, the cast of wackos and weirdos that once graced my DW galaxy [:D]

Image

They were (left to right):

Delachan - Generally good guys, living rock/insect creatures
Boltarg - Quite dumb militaristic pig guys
Mech - Big killer robots
Myyrmadon - The Roman Empire in space, but aquatic, with big axes
Furrakian - Best mechanics in the galaxy, also wookies
Andolian - Ancient intelligent dudes, may abduct you in their saucer
Onaroan - Big crab guys, generally goodies
Plaguebearer - Nasty empire who caught a plague, making them even angrier
Gorkan - Pirates and slavers, a bit obsessed with crude genetic engineering
Rockan - Lizard dudes who know how to jump
Draken - Nasty intelligent fire lizards
Humans - Primitive trader guys
Tephid - Some good guy insects for a change
Sluurg - Really, really, really slow, but intelligent aquatic dudes
Martuska - General all around good guys
Ridellean - Slugs on wheels, like to rip you off
Terrikan - Low down rats, good spies
Veloan - Insect empire that reproduces like crazy, carry shields that make a force field
Tuskan - Utopian paradise of warrior monks
Thespan - Peaceful, not good at anything, usually abducted and enslaved by someone else

Feel free to use the images any way you like, the above races need not be followed at all, that was all just for fun, I'm done with this project now and won't be working on it any further. Please enjoy!

(All images made in heromachine, google it if your interested)

Attatchment is zip of png race files

Whatever happened to the one you were working on that was all humans, did it evolve into this? Are you planning on finishing that one? Because that was very good. I notice the trader guy image from that.

I'm just working on Diverse Worlds now, and yes I took a few images from this over to that one, I made this just before I started work on it.

They were created in Hero Machine, a free online tool.  Very easy and fun to use, its meant for making superheroes which is why they are all got a lot of muscle [:D]
