>>9290675Are things outside of written works no longer added to the OP, because an old drawfag just finished a comic?
>>9290715Sorry, meant to add this as a link.>https://mega.nz/folder/e1xVyCYB#iGNbEHfR-V9-FNrj-I3ifQ
>>9290715I mean often their stuff is posted directly here without something to link to. But could start doing that.What we really need is a properly formatted/updated pastebin to archive stuff past it's OP expiration date.
>>9290722Somewhat true, if you're looking for a hyperlink. They usually (key word, there) put their web address on their art now. They said it was because the spam filter used to act up. Plus they've got some written stuff on there that they were planning on releasing, too. The link I just copied was also from the last thread. But I agree there needs to be a new archive. Is there anything outside of pastebin, though, cause the last purge might not be the last one. Would Rentry.co be a decent alternative? I could set up a link today if we get enough anons to agree on what to add.
What are some unique ideas for a First Contact scenario between modern day Humans and advanced space faring aliens? I mean both your original ideas that you would find interesting or ones you've seen in various established media.I'm struggling to think of an example like this and I'm sure it already exists, but I want more stories about aliens being genuinely benevolent and wanting to help humanity while having no ulterior motives. Almost every piece of sci-fi media involving non-space age humanity has them be genocidal world conquerors or indifferent observers, so a movie, book or series about aliens showing up and just being helpful for no reason other than a desire to help would be really novel.
The robot thread are making a chart of robots in fiction. We should also make one for aliens.
>>9290781Isn't that already a thing? There's that one pic where on one end its shit like Twi'leks and on the other it would be something like the Visitor from Don't Look Outside. Also that's a funny pic>YO SHE'S HUMPING THE FUCKIN' GLASS BRO, SHE WANTS IT BRO I'M GOIN' IN>JENSEN NO>JENSEN YEEEEEES
>>9290776One idea I had from a while ago was humanity sometime in the 1970's managed to catch the radio waves produced by another alien civilization estimated to be 6 light-years away from Sol. This information is common knowledge by the 21st century, and both humans and the other species are intimately aware of one another- sending messages and exchanging information whenever they can, seeing as how any ill intent had largely been disproven. Technology, particularly in the field of long distance communication accelerated in development, as both species cooperated to make long distance communication all the easier. The main idea of this story was to highlight how humanity might be better off with another species in talks with us. As a species, we're alone with our own perspectives and experiences- kinda like being locked in a room all the time with no one else to talk to. Having an extra perspective, a friend, can make the difference. Humans and the other species cooperate despite the distance, and by 22nd century, manage to make first physical contact in Alpha Centauri, a planned visitation of both species on a completely alien world to both of them. Naturally, the cooperation of mankind and the other alien species become inextricably linked. Yes- cross species romance is commonplace.

Teng not dead here, just havent been making much. This was just some WIP thing that didn't feel was coming together right. might finish it another time>>9290675Thanks for keeping up making the threads even though its been relatively quiet
>>9291567 (cont)>>9287974Glad to see this finished! Its been fun keeping up with your stuff.>>9276993Had a fun time making that doodle, I think Howler has been the most recent thing that has me always excited for new updates!>>9288624Still (Barely) here. Life just busy and the new spam filter and captcha on here can make it a hassle to post sometimes.
>>9291567Really cool face, reminds me of an oni.>"-Didn't feel was coming together right"How come? Are you trying to experiment with something or looking for a particular angle or pose, etc.? I don't much of a problem personally if their body is at least supposed to be long. The foreshortening here would make things line up just fine.>>9291570I'm glad it's finished, too. I'm a little tired of drawing yosuine, but I've still got more work with them involved :\ Aside from that, it's been quite a while since I've last interacted with you. What kept you interested in keeping up (does some of that stuff include the web stories? 'Cause I'm always looking for thoughts on that)?
>>9290776kind of had an idea where humanity is just starting to figure out FTL and in doing so bump into another species that's only a bit more advanced. Both sides are wary of each other at first but while they're feeling each other out a much more advanced alliance of alien species shows up and is impressed by both races reacting so peacefully with each other and offers them both a place within the alliance. Which both sides agree to as it would be the equivalent of a Bronze Age civilization with a professional army (humanity), bumping into an Iron Age civilization with a volunteer army (first Aliens they bumped into), and while both side were feeling each other out the entirety of the Allies and Axis forces from WWII pop up and ask if they'd like to join their BBQ.This makes the first aliens that humanity was originally talking to and, well, humanity team up prison buddy style and start working together to bridge the technological gap between them and the rest of the alliance since the alliance doesn't want to just hand out their tech in fear that it may stunt both races in the long run if they're unable to figure it out themselves which makes humanity and the first alien species basically attached at the hip and are rarely seen anywhere without the other outside of their home planets.
>>9291660Heh, I like this. Has the vibe of two lower class kids going to a nicer school and becoming friends because they're the only kids that aren't rich.

Random question for the thread. What would you assume would be the most common species class aliens would be? As in if there was some kind of galactic community do you think most aliens would be some kind of mammal, avian, reptile, insectoid, etcetera, etcetera. What do you think would be the least common?Assuming things happened like what happened here on earth (very large sample size I know) I'd assume reptiles would probably be the most common as they'd have been around the longest excluding sea based life. Least common would be sea based life unless they have a way to cheat pass needing fire.
>>9292261>the most common crustacean, everything tries to evolve into crabs
>>9292261>Assuming things happened like what happened here on earthThe most boring answer (aside from "um ackchyually-ing" their species) would be whatever happens to be the most common coincidence, galactically. Lots of things could change the course of a planet's ecology. But if they're following earth one-to-one, it could definitely be avians given the right conditions. They have a really high neuron density for their size, iirc.>>9292302>There is only one step. And it is crabOr crabs. Imagine finding a space station just overflowing with crab people, kek.
>>9292261I'd say avians as well.
>>9292324Imo, they're probably the most interesting group of animals on the planet, outside of us. Lots of diverse phenotypes to take inspiration from, too.
>>9291567Good stuff, Teng. Nice to see you drop by again. She kind of reminds of Undyne, but 100% less designed by a weeb. Which is based for a xeno design.
>>9292261If we’re going by intelligence and tool usage then mammals, with avians coming in second.
>>9292261arachnids, corvids, cetaceans>builds webs>uses tools>they have their own language according to nature documentaries
>>9292453Newfag
Isn't it crazy how some of the most alien shit is right here on Earth.
>>9292261I'd assume the most common species to arise to sapience- excluding mammals, would most likely be avians, then reptiles, followed by arthropods. The LEAST common would 100% be anything coming from the ocean itself- as cool as it is to imagine a sea-dwelling sapient species being able to make it to the stars, it's just incredibly unlikely they'd get that far and forever remain primitve at best- or never having achieved sapience at all. Cetacea are the closest we have to intelligent animals in the ocean, but they lack the appendages to manipulate their environment and make tools.
>>9292927>Ayys come across us and say "We have you on our planet. Those aren't intelligent though.">Shows a near-identical Australopithecus sediba
>>9292927It's insane how strange and alien our own oceans are, imagine the kind of crap dwells in the oceans of some far away planet 100 lightyears from here. Let alone the interior oceans of Europa- although, that's wishful thinking that Europa's oceans look anything like Barotrauma. Probably just has a metric ton of microscopic life floating around.
>>9290797>humanity might be better off with another species in talks with usthere are already multiple species of humans. it's always amused me how leftards refuse to admit this.
>>9293018Leftards do admit it from time to time. But they're loath to since the only people who speak of the races of man being actual races are the ones who wish to commit genocide or legalize slavery.I suggest you go to >>>/pol/ if you want to continue talking about which human species is the most inferior. Otherwise, let the xneoqueen flow.
>>9292987>reptileswhy do people keep saying this? yeah they're old, but they're also not particularly intelligent even after millions of years where intelligence is selected as a beneficial adaptation
>>9293028There’s no reason many reptilian features couldn’t exist alongside intelligence, it’s just that so many of their existing adaptations nearly prevent it from arising or being useful.
>>9293164>there's no reason>but here are the reasons???
>>9292261>Random question for the thread. What would you assume would be the most common species class aliens would be?For certain the LEAST common (or, "not-appearing-in-this-movie") alien species would be plants and fungi derived. If you're a species that has developed to the point where you don't even have a brain and don't need to move in order to survive, and you end up surviving anyways by covering the entire planet, you're at an evolutionary dead-end.The sort of evolutionary pressures to make a purposefully MOBILE plant that has a brain would be incredible, never mind a plant that can actually think about enough things to get into space.Plant/fungus aliens are more of a fantasy than naturally occurring inorganic aliens, which are already very fantastical by themselves.>>9292987>Cetacea are the closest we have to intelligent animals in the ocean, but they lack the appendages to manipulate their environment and make tools.It doesn't help that the environment of the ocean prevents using a huge amount of technologies; you can't throw anything because water robs the projectile of energy. you can't burn anything because there's too much thermal mass to heat up and not enough free oxygen. you can't really get metals or stones in most areas, because everything below you is at too high a pressure or covered in millions of years of sediments.even if you're a species that has a brain and good manual dexterity, if you're never able to throw anything, you'll never develop a brain structure that can consciously or unconsciously determine a projectile's trajectory. you will be permanently mentally handicapped in that regard; projectiles lend themselves to being used in groups, and groups require social cohesion, which reinforces massed and then specialist projectile throwing as a positive reinforcement loop. (kills from projectiles feeds the group, promoting further throwing behavior)If you're inside the ocean, you don't get that neurological or social benefit.
