Noble Night online game store is auctioning these original FASA concept art drawings. These were done for Renegade Legion. I think they ain't bad for 1990, FASA was trying to push away from the "forehead alien", not quite so successful perhaps as Traveller 2300, (pentapods for the win), but pretty thoughtful...yes space lizards, space avians, and space bugs make a showing...but this is space opera after all. Frankly it's hard to do sentient aliens well, you have both biology and some kind of mental and material culture to account for.
A maine lobsterman caught a "cotton candy" lobster, rare gene variant. Instead of selling her, (named her Haddie), they are fostering her until a permanent home can be found. I find her blue irridescent shell mesmerizing.
