    @Lizardman: That Gorn episode was based on a classic short story: "Arena" by Frederic Brown.

    I just see #8s as being pot head Preditors. And #10 has a real preditor in it down near the bottom. These are all pretty good. Better then I could do.

    I find #10 the most disturbing. The rest are the kind of tentacle rape monsters you would expect, but 10 is giving me eerie mixed signals with its disarming clownlike doggy grin on top of an ambiguous menacing body. If I saw it in real life, I'd be torn between wanting to give it a hug and shitting my pants. #horror

    @Daumier: Ten is original. Nine is pretty good, too. It reminds me of something that'd live under water, and it's more than a little disorientating. I mean, what is it? A scrawny giant dog-thing with a bunch of hair growing up out of its back? It looks like its little goons are dragging people back to be trapped in there. Kind of like the Shrike or something. Very weird.

    Even the artist's _name_ is weird. Lkjhgfdsa? Seriously?

    Here's a description from the Concept Art website:

    "After the bombs dropped and the radiation began its twisted cycle across the globe, the earth became far more habitable for the Iamos.

    Here they can be seen collecting living human hosts for the offspring of the Phagist; the secretions of which are harvested for use in biochemical concoctions pleasing to the Iamos.
    The invasive growths of the Phagists oviate slowly hollow out the still living human body before using it as a host-shell.

    One would expect this to be a torturous experience indeed."

    #10 (Generic Alien V4) kind of looks like a Looney Tunes character who was blown up by a bomb. I can almost imagine the *tink*tink* sound of him blinking. #district9

    @Roklimber: Good, because I always found characters like Scarlet Witch to be fucking retarded.

    How can nature possibly cope with an animal that has the ability to change its surroundings on a whim? This isn't like regular humans, who need resources and labor to do so, but Scarlet Witch just has to THINK things and they happen. House of M pretty much illustrates my point.

    Nature is about balance. Characters like her wouldn't be born in nature because anyone like her would dominate their environment and there would be no stopping it except mutants like her.
