Any plans to get the Ortnok a new look?
BTAxis:
Yeah, copy-pasting the link helped. I think the server may not like it being linked from a different webpage.
Cool image.
Ildamos:
Thanks.
I'm off to another meeting so I'm having someone scan the sketch. Will hopefully make a more refined one this weekend.
(About the bloodspider, I'm rethinking my design as --- with its eyes and probes --- it ended up looking like a sentinel from the Matrix universe. :P)
Ildamos:
Here it is.
TAKE NOTE THAT THIS IS JUST A QUICK SKETCH.
I want to emphasize that they are huge but are lower in the ranks. (Am I right?) I also want to emphasize more armor weight in the shoulder-back area giving a hint that they are a subservient race (cannon fodder working for the smarter Tamans). The spines on its back have lights on them and I fancy they can be used to interface with machinery once in the UFOs to secure them. They also have this holo-rings in front of their faces (near the neckline area) that streams instructions from their Taman masters. The lines in their armor glow (as I seem to remember one of the devs took a fancy to several video game models one of the volunteer artists showed).
I am not well-versed in UFO: AI lore so of course this sketch is subject to changes as I learn in-depth what an Ortnok is.

Storywise there are no "ranks" among the aliens, but stats-wise the Ortnoks are meant to be the shock troops. They're relatively slow, but tough. So in that sense I think you're thinking along the right lines.
vedrit:
Just being nitpicky, but storywise or not, there will always be "ranks", thats just how things work out. A "queen" ruler, all the way down to the "cannon fodder".
But I agree that this is a good concept shot of the Ortnok
