Description
I thought I'd take a stab at the Delta Quadrant with the most prominent alien on Voyager, the Talaxians. I watched a lot of Voyager thinking I disliked Neelix, but I think I was just reacting to his aesthetic.Ā I always thought he looked like a mulleted goldfish-bulldog who dressed like he raided a curtain store. But, he's open, friendly, optimistic, and genuinely eager. He's a great character, but saddled with an overcomplicated and somewhat silly design. My goal with this was to capture the spirit of his original look and feel, and but went in the direction of something a bit more fish-like. I tried to make a him both alien and friendly.Related content

Most of Voyager was a utter mess. Alien designs, plots and basic continuity. Just a mess as any Sf Debris makes sure to tell you. (Except for the Doc and Seven they where the exception.) Fair warning, he really doesn't like Neelix. sfdebris.com/videos/startrek/vā¦

Watched the first episode and there seems to be far more snark than actual insight. Voyager is, to be kind, uneven. I always felt it never lived up to its premise of being different, being in a whole new section of the galaxy and all. But episodes like 'Year of Hell,' 'Living Witness,' "Tuvix' and 'Bride of Chaotica' make it worth it for me. Ā Ā

He thinks so too that's where most of the snark comes from, disappointment that it did not live up to the potential. Try watching the reviews of those good episodes you mentioned, he's enjoyed them as well.

Great take on the design.Ā Still looks a little mean, maybe if the eyes were rounder?
