I guess this is fanart? My friend ~carcadann and I were watching Star Trek DS9 and I was thinking how all the aliens look basically like humans with makeup, and what they would look like if ST could have played around with the bone structure and design a bit more. So I did some little speedpaints of how I think they'd look.

This is sure to piss off some Trekkie but I had fun doing different takes on the aliens =p Apart from these little portraits I've been working on body designs.

These are kinda semi-based off the characters, but they turned into more general portraits of the alien races.

1. Bajoran - this one's definitely meant to be Kira =p They're really spiritual and they have a warm cast to their design so I tried making them look a bit more ethereal, very long and spindly with pink eyes, and I pushed the ears a bit more. Also gave them four arms in the body design. :D
2. Trill - major changes here. I hated how Trills were so completely different physiologically speaking (they have a symbiont inside of them) yet they look like humans with a little jaguar facepaint - boring. So I...did this. The third eye is supposed to be the symbiont eye, and in unjoined Trills this eye is closed. Also gave them tails.
3. Changeling/Odo... Odo based his own form off the form of a Bajoran scientist, so I made him slightly look more Bajoran and took away his hair - that hair looks AWFUL, odo!
4. Ferengi - their design is already great. I just pushed it a bit.. I did a body design for most of these, and the Ferengi body is more changed than the head design, but I thought I'd do a painting anyway.
5. Klingon - brought the cheek bones up around the eyes, tried to give him a more feral look with all-black eyes and more beard. My body design for the Klingons is a lot bigger and beefier than the real one.
6. Cardassian - my favorite star trek race.. I just played with the bones a bit. Their bodies will be extremely top-heavy.

I just finished up this set today as part of my warm-up.. but today is a work day, I have to make up for my sick days -_-

These are really cool! More like how they'd look in "real" life vs a tv show. If Star Trek was Star Wars, ie only six episodes with millions to spend on each one, i'm sure there would have been more non-humanoid aliens.

I LOVE this. I'd be fascinated to see what humans look like, in your interpretation - so there'd be a baseline!

Love that symbiont eye.

I'm a huge Trek fan, and I honestly love your innovation.
The only issues I've ever had with aliens (and they're really my favorite part of all the series) is the fact that they all really do just look like mutated humans. Which you can (blah blah blah) back to the seed theory in TOS... but yeah...

I love these designs! They all look fantastic, wonderful work. ^^
