--- Quote from: "Blywulf" ---Question for Winter (I guess) - got some questions about the looks of the Taman.
There are some dark blue patterns covering some parts of their bodies. You can see them on their heads and arms. Do those patterns have some sort of a meaning? Are they ritual tattoos? Do they signify rank (different blue spots for different ranks)? Are they supposed to be symmetrical or are they merely a natural feature of Taman skin and appear randomly all over their bodies?

First of all -- bloody marvellous job on the Alien Breathing Apparatus. It's stunning.
As for the skin patterns, we haven't ascribed any significance to them. They can be a random skin feature as far as I'm concerned, but they don't really look natural, due to their shape and regularity. The only thing that would make sense given the nature of the alien threat is that these markings would imply a job function or special training of some type.
Unless one of the team has strong objections, random patterns (with no biological significance) all over the body would be fine with me.

Winter

Thanks Winter!
Here's a quick sketch of a Taman with random markings on his skin (all pencil + a couple of rough digital brush strokes). I'd like to get some sort of feedback before I turn it into a fully fledged digital image.

Excellent. I think it's great, so if mattn agrees, please finish it up.
Just so you know, we don't need live Ortnoks and Shevaar, but we do need autopsy images for all 3 aliens, as well as an autopsy and live specimen image for the Bloodspider.
Future aliens will also need autopsy images and some of them will need live images, but we don't currently know how many we'll end up with. I have some models for new aliens but no textures or animation for them. It won't do any good to draw images for them until we have them fully textured and animated.

Winter

Ok, no work for me for the next 8 days so you may expect to see some new pics real soon.

That's some of the best news I've ever heard, mate. ;)
My job's going to be very demanding over the next few weeks, I don't know how much I'll be able to be online, so don't wait for feedback from me to get started on a new image. I will try to post as frequently as I can, though -- this forum is one of my priorities. Just don't worry if I don't post straight away.
Regards,
Winter
