Another week, another not-so-new alien. Xothox, that big blue, pointy eared lady is another nearly forgotten Bob Fletcher design from TMP, but this time with a couple of tweaks. The muzzle area of the “Betelgeusian” (don’t tell them their sun’s about to go pop) is an interesting mishmash that no picture does justice to, so I just did what I thought was best with it. I also wanted to give her a Kirby-esque physique, hence the giant hands and feet. Below is my initial sketch of the Betelgeusian upright.
Yes. I love him. Perfect for the Halloween season. And any reference to the lost aliens of TMP is for the good.
Her.
Excellent. Here’s to a more ecumenical Starfleet staff!
