You might like some of the other Star Control characters I re-created like the Ur-Quan, Orz, etc.

I'm not seeing eyes on those fangs but a glint. I would expect the eyes to be a bit more round. Here's the original I used as a reference: [link]

It's weird with such low resolutions, your mind fills in the blanks. You see eyes, I see a light glint. It could just be graphical quirks left over after downsizing the colors.

I was thinking the same thing about the religious stuff. I'd like to work more on the...umm.. shield thing at the bottom, and add some writing to the thing. I think I can spruce this image up with just a few small tweaks. Going outside the established picture a bit.

The thing that's really baffling me are those two purple shapes coming out behind the captain's head. :U Is that a headdress? part of its anatomy? the captain's chair maybe?? (why would it need a chair...) XD

I always thought those things were something like mirrors, for their eyes in the back to see properly to the front.

Ohh, clever theory. :>

(Then, the Umgah would need over a dozen mirrors, har har har...)

The best I could make out was it was a headdress. Since they are religious fanatics I could see that. No clue if thats what it really is. Look at the original pic and tell me what you see. I may be wrong here.

Yeah, who knows. But, personally, I feel it's a bit too distracting to be a regular part of the Ilwrath. All the other races seem to have a nice, concise design both in terms of anatomy and apparel, and having that weird thing behind its head takes away from its spider appearance y'know?

I want to think it's a headrest for a mostly hidden chair and the web itself is meant to be like a ship's steering wheel, not an actual perch for the captain.

There's no apparent seat for it to be a chair. And it doesn't seem to be connected to anything. It's in the original here: [link] so that's why I put it in. Don't get me wrong, I like the idea of it as a chair, but since the body goes so far back that it just seems weird and awkward. When I first saw it as a kid, my monitor was a bit dark so I saw just the lighter part of it as his horns.

I don't think it loses too much of its spider appearance, since I'm sure if you ask anybody they'll say it's a spider (even though it has 10 legs). If it looks more alien and less Earth-like, I'm fine with that.

The using of the web as a giant steering wheel. I like that. Again, growing up with a crappy monitor, I thought the 'steering wheel' was its rear end
