concept proposal 2.2

Based on my last proposal(2.1) and the sketches, I realized that the aliens that i was referring to resembled more like genetically mutated animals and humanoid creatures. Thus, I've came across a great dilemma of choosing among three types of creatures to create a database:

1. Extraterrestrial creatures (creatures in a form that cannot be found on earth)

pros

• alot of room for creation
• many precedents to learn and study from
• easier for people to believe since the knowledge of outer space is equally unknown to everyone and alien encounters are being reported everywhere
  

cons

• harder to rig and animate since they usually do not follow normal movements.
  
• there is the limitation of people's perception on what aliens should look like
  
• no exact boundary; harder to start (aliens can take any form, what should i start with?)
  
• they are just seen in too many places

2. Genetically mutated animals (crossbreds of animals, insects, and plants on earth)

pros

• very fun to create
• ample references from life (images of animals, insects, and plants)
  
• easier and faster to create when the result can be viewed quickly (throw a rhino's head on a shark's body, there goes a creature)
• undesirable results can also be eliminated quicker
  

cons

• some people might say "what the heck are these retarded looking things?"
  
• harder to rig and animate due to their abnormal anatomy(this can also be positive since I can just make up the way they move)
  

3. Humanoid creatures (hybrids of animals, insects, and plants in the form of human beings)

pros

• plenty of room for inspiration
• I've always been more interested in animating human bodies
• not as hard to animate since they usually have human movements. (not that it's easy to animate humans, it's just that references of human movements are much easier to obtain).

cons

• less freedom to create since the result has to resemble a human. (this might have a positive aspect since I have given myself this limit and can just start from a human shape)
  
• much complicated to model a human.
  

I'm now leaning more towards the latter two. Any suggestions or comments are extremely welcomed.
