  3. These are frickin awesome! As said by Mozchops, they're much more believable than most alien concept drawings I've seen. I'm writing a rather complex story about the entire Universe being in a state of total war, with two factions vying for control. While planning this story I've done my best to avoid the sort of mistakes Star Trek make so often with the similarities between alien lifeforms and ourselves. However, it's incredibly hard to come up with entire species on your own, and while I've already started working on a few, I was wondering if you would mind if I used some of your work, particularly those awesome little jungle-monkey-reptile things, as a basis for some of the civilisations my characters would interact with. I'll do my best to keep it as original as possible, and I don't actually need drawings for my story, so I promise I won't be plagiarizing, but I thought it would be polite to ask in advance and make sure you would be okay with spotting any similarities between my alien races and the ones you've come up with. Thanks, and once again, AWESOME FUCKIN WORK.
