Description
The Taar'qa are a massive and powerful alien race, native of a high-gravity, superearth-type planet. They have six limbs (almost all the native creatures of their planet are hexapods); four of them are big and strong limbs that they use to walk and fight while the other two are slim and agile arms that they use for precision works.Their own language almost exclusively uses infrasounds, but they can speak other languages (which use normal sounds) making extremely low sounds (which for them is the equivalent of our falsetto).
Another alien races concept, probably one of the next steps in the "HFS Races" series!
Genesis base model + FourArms for Genesis, sculpted in Zbrush, rendered in DS4.6 Pro.
Hope you like!

I'd really like to see this in the store sometime.

This is awesome! I hope you do release this as a product; we need more figures that support the Four Arms geo-graft. In fact, a set of morphs for Four Arms would be welcome; perhaps a set that matches the morphs in HFS Shapes for Genesis. One of the things that has limited Four Arms' use has been the lack of morphs and textures. It's nice to see someone doing something at all with them. Great work!

Hey bro, gonna have some serious chat about aliens... I seriously need your aliens! Probably a bit more gruesome! But this is really Kool too! Well done!

Outstanding! it would be great if we could use different heads on this dude like the gorilla and other ones.

Dude. You REALLY push Genesis to its limits, and make it sing. I am in awe.

Cool concept. *pokels* what happened to the dwarf beard?

Don't worry, dwarves are the next "fantasy race"!

Something i have been wondering lately... Why would heavy G life be large? Wouldn't it make more sense that they would be smaller.. a lighter, denser being?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
not necessary. for it to walk on say a 1.5 G planet, their limbs would have to be stronger than if it would have evolved on Earth. if they want to walk at any reasonable speed, relative to a human anyways, then they would need a large muscle mass, with would in turn need larger lungs, hearth, and the skeleton necessary to support it.
but that, of course, is if it looks like this, i.e., similar to terran life. with i do not throw out of the window. the universe is a big place. but truly heavy world aline life would be...watch the Discovery Channel The Universe TV series, ep 37, Alien Faces, for what it would be like. hope i helped.

But a larger muscle mass would require much more energy A smaller mass of denser muscle tissues would require less energy to function.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
it would be even. an equal mass of muscle, one larger but less denser and one smaller but denser, would be equal in energy requirements. similarly, if they are equal, they would provide the same amount of strength.
thing is, this larger form would be more stable as opposed to thinner life. in heavy gravity, its movements would be sluggish by necessity, as it would need to be more careful seeing as something that would just bruise it on Earth would probably brake a bone there.
now, evolution works by adapting to what is better for its environment, so the better option would be...something stable, with a specific center of gravity, and the body mass distributed to accomplish this. a thinner life form would have a difficult time with that, don't you think?

The thinner denser lifeform would not be fragile as the muscle strands and fiber would be like steel cable.. Or carbon fiber filament(just saw something on this yesterdaywww.youtube.com/watch?v=mEH6tD… ).. And it would be lighter requiring less energy to maneuver about.

muscle like that is a completely different argument dude. first of, assuming biology could even make something like that, which i do not know much about to argue, this lifeform right here, and others like it which we're talking about, are not very alien. something with bones made of natural occurring carbon fiber or muscle like steel cable would most definitely be alien. this right here is not.
but besides that, lighter dose not necessary mean less energy, especially in a high gravity environment. this stronger muscle would have to consume enough energy to move it against the pull of the planet, which, if higher that on Earth, is bigger. say this lifeform is the size and mass of a human for example. having evolved on a high G planet, it would actually be heavier there than it would be here. which means more effort needed to move. if its the same size and mass as a human...see where im going? just because its less fragile dose not equal less energy consumption.
on the other hand, it could have a slow metabolism...

Yes it is a different disscussion, but it is still connected...
Now honestly I can't say that life that has a muscle structure similar to Carbon nano-tubes is impossible.. But I can say it probable.
Have you seen the latest images and findings from deep under the ocean lately? They have found microbial life that breathes sulfate not oxygen. So just for giggles i can say life on a high G or Jupiter sized Gas giant could could be human like but be smaller and denser....
but physically stronger! LOL!!

Very nice concept, but will this require custom-made clothing for them?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I think that simple clothing will fit, but obviously it's a very extreme shape.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Indeed, not too many clothing out there for 4 arms... so we may need at least a bodysuit or such for the guy, to make him useful beyond the point of serving as a beast in the odd render somewhere.

So they have a pair of propulsion arms and a pair of fine manipulation hands. I really admire your creative imagination. And as you have arrived at hexapods, I pray that insectoid races move into the forseeable future.
