With apologies to Gerd Arntz (http://www.gerdarntz.org/isotype), I wanted to create some little isotype drawings interpreting the various aliens in the game. I love some of the fan art that's been created, especially the work of Pedro Medeiros de Almeida (http://saint11.carbonmade.com/projects/2025729). I wanted to create something more neutral and more, well, Star Trek. Thus the uniforms.
You can see them here: http://s3.amazonaws.com/images.timdenee ... sotype.jpg

Nicely done! 
... but one species is missing.
P.S.: I had never seen this one, thanks for showing us.

The Mantis is excellent, but I think the Engi can use some work (I picture them more bulky and fat).
LOL @ Zoltan being too radioactive, needing his (its?) own containment suit.

The Zoltan reminded me of Moltar. The humans are great, the rest are not prefect.

Re: Isotype drawings of the federation species
Work in progress! I'm trying to get a balance of various things, including what the sprites look like in the game and what they look like in my imagination and what they look like to other people, as well as how they might look on a TV sci-fi level of make-up.UltraMantis wrote:The Zoltan reminded me of Moltar.

Hey cheers, yeah, everyone seems to agree the Engi should be bulkier. I'll change that.EdenNov wrote:The Mantis is excellent, but I think the Engi can use some work (I picture them more bulky and fat).

Re: Isotype drawings of the federation species
Old thread but I stumbled across it today. Great stuff! I think it's really fun seeing people's interpretation of the species.. and seeing people with far more artistic skill than me be inspired by FTL 
The engi one definitely seems to be the widest variety in what people interpret it to look like.
