You went wrong with four limbs, not to mention the hair... Aliens would have a completely different lineage from us, therefore it's unlikely that they had even remotely similar body structure to ours.

One word. Tentacles
might wanna consult with /d/ on this

The lineage is not always important:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_examples_of_convergent_evolution

The environment is actually more important.

>>8418336
>therefore it's unlikely that they had even remotely similar body structure to ours.
Any other structure is just as unlikely or even less, since ours at least is proven to be a workable foundation for a sapient, technology-using animal.

You forgot tits. No tits no fuck

>>8418336
I didn't design the pic, its to give a vague idea what I'm going for

Honesty I imagined a race of hairless gel skinned salamanders. I didn't mention it because I'm open to changing it if it doesn't work.

>>8418336
Say it's one of many species then and their just the most human like. If you have a hundred alien races coexisting a few have to be like us.

>>8418325

>>8418336
It might actually end up relatively similar. The universe is a finite state machine.

Though I don't like it, it's true. If the planet is Earth like, it'll likely eventually develop similar basic structures, like keratin.

>>8418336
>four limbs
Well a large number of limbs is obviously impractical on something roughly human sized, because they'd be too thin and fragile, an odd number of limbs is also retarded, so it turns out that 4 isn't that unlikely from all the remaining options after all.

>>8418453
Fuck that's gold, what's that from?

>>8418453
what the frickin heck?

>>8418453
WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Perhaps you'd rather have an epidermits instead? You can pierce and tattoo them.

>>8418325
Alternative dominant species could have been fish, reptiles or birds. Insects, spiders have a size problem. More than two legs for large bodies are inefficient. We need complex manipulators. Would be more than two efficient? How about the genome? We don't have any alternative found in our solar system. We don't have indications that it could be much different. Did humanity lost its fur only because of climate change? Would genitalia at a different position be an advantage? At the moment I would suspect life is rare. We didn't find anything on mars. Perhaps egg laying could be an alternative.

>>8418612
Don't forget octopi, theyre very smart, have 8 arms and can use tools, and also survive on land a bit.

>>8418612
>Insects, spiders have a size problem.

Some ant colonies on Earth are dominant species and at the top of their local food chains. When they hunt, every fucking thing leaves.

>>8418325
>fuckable aliens
you know nothing about sexuality
leave

Western Science has failed to correctly answer life's burning questions, if we had an "African Science" department we could finally discover ' How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood'.

>>8418507
Have you heard about octopuses?

>>8418724
ayo

hole up

even /sci/ is getting racis lately.

what zup homeboi

>>8418730
Western science is too antagonistic towards new methods and theories!

>>8418725
I said it's not as unlikely as you think, not that it's the only option.

>>8418325
The fuck is going wrong with me. I would actually fuck that.

>>8418325
Put a hole in it, someone will fuck it

>>8418773
Me too tbqh.

>>8418453
Can't stop laughing.

>>8418453
I feel like if you slapped a smug anime girl's face on it and changed absolutely nothing else it would still be wildly popular

>>8418325
slime like life forme.

>>8418929
Agreed.

>>8419034
I didn't know Anzu had sisters!

>>8418513
Looks like it's a page from Charlie Booker's Unnovations

Who's the same guy who wrote Black Mirror

Which means I'm starting to think this dude really wants to fuck an actual pig

simply apply the golden ratios, and give them features that are reminiscent of attractive human features
false positives are pretty common in the human brain

Mass effect (just finished playing it)has a nice variety of aliens with the appropriate lore about how they were influenced by their environment.
Basically pick an environment, start of with something humanoid(or a Pokemon or whatever) and think how it would adapt

>>8418325
nice butts.

>>8418336
From what we observe on earth there are 2 main ways of locomotion, walking or sliding.
It's very unlikely (read impossible) that there exist an other efficient way of moving and no living organism on earth evolved to fill this niche.
Based on the billions of walking species on earth, any living thing is likely to have 0,2,4,6,8 or tons of limbs to walk with, same argument as before, it's very unlikely (read impossible) that there exist an efficient way of walking without this quantity of legs and no living organism on earth evolved to fill the niche.

We can safely assume that aliens will either move by walking on 0,2,4,6,8 or tons of legs, or by sliding (on the ground or on a fluid)

>>8418325
>fuckable
Completely subjective. Take your childish smut out of /sci/.

>>8420032
What about flight?

>>8420140
tiny hands

If it doesn't resemble a human, it's beastiality and you have to be messed up (i.e. furry) in order to be attracted to it.

>>8419044
Oh wow thats nice, I liked Black Mirror but I didn't know he was doing loads of other Twilight Zone-esque shit before that

>>8420165
Stops being viable above a certain size. See: ostriches, emus, and that one Australian bird that sounds like a dinosaur but is smaller than an ostrich.

Example: Would you fuck an owl? Okay, probably, yes, but could you make an owl smart enough while keeping it that small? Probably not. We're trying to have fuckable ayy lmaos that are human level intelligence, not just commit xenobeastiality.

Other planets could have weaker gravity or a denser atmosphere that could make bigger flying creatures viable, so an angel-like alien with wings could exist, and it'd still look "fuckable", but designs like that are obviously not that efficient, although it could still be evolutionarily favourable if it made it better at hunting, e.g. a creature that uses its hands to throw spears at its prey.

>>8420032
What about a creature that doesn't need to move to survive? Could a creature like this ever be considered intelligent or fuckable? For example, a starfish or coral type creature, or something like a jellyfish that just drifts around with little mechanical control over where it's going. Note I said mechanical control, it could move around via electromagnetic forces. Just because the niche isn't filled on planet earth, doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

Another thing, I wouldn't call swimming or flying "sliding through fluid". That's just a gross miscategorization. There are multiple different techniques creatures use to navigate through a fluid, depending on their size and environment. The ocean is so much more diverse than the land you have to assume an intelligent and fuckable alien species probably developed to be more like a mermaid.

first you need a environment, when you have a environment of the planet on this race lives, you can think as this race will be, since you say this alien is like a amphibious, I think something like a troodon with long arms would be enough, taadaa: fuckable and biologically realistic.

You could probably fuck any alien as long as there is a hole, and since they will need to eat and shit they will probably have at least two.

Why do you think that?

Tails don't count in this context, OP's creature has a tail too, yet the poster I replied to said it has four limbs.
