Welcome to the Void!
An interesting design. It truly does have an alien feel to it. I am
particuliarly fond of the trailing black canard....it adds to the organic
nature the backstory alludes to. The red interior also plays well with it's
described origin. I'm curious to what papa Dark Alien looks like!!
This really makes me want to continue my own alien line that has fallen by
the wayside.
Good stuff Bas - look forward to seeing more from you!
Cheers,
-Gil
