swoletergeist asked: thoughts on wayne barlowe's alien designs from expedition/alien planet?

You won’t be saying that when Earth eventually evolves a one legged faceless kangaroo with a huge dong

With a floating eyeball in front of it
The eyeball with its own air jets so it can stay in front of the rest of its body on a thin little wire tether for no reason ever explained
They are cool and are dear to my heart but all them those dinosaur elephants are way too bioluminescent for a bunch of animals with no goddamn eyes
That thing looks like it would fall over if it moved
It’s actually supposed to be Cheetah-fast or faster, on a single leg, and on plains of solid slick ice, all of which I found kind of hard to believe when I was a kid and this was otherwise my favorite book ever at the time.
Of course all the things that make it unbelievable make it one of the more fun things in it.
Though we never get to know much about those little purple parasites on its butt.Darwin IV has 60% Earth’s gravity, which is intended to explain why monopeds like the rimerunner are feasible.
I was always more bothered by how the rimerunner and belly-thrower were so much alike even though the bags they ejected from their heads had completely different functions. I’m pretty sure the belly-thrower was just a concept sketch for the rimerunner that he decided to throw in.
There’s plenty of room for criticism, but Expedition used to be pretty much the only game in town if you wanted well-developed exobiology. That was something I desperately wanted when I discovered the book.

Apple needs to make celebrity Siris before it’s too late. I want my phone to sound like HAL 9000 or Morgan Freeman.
