The year is many from now, humanity has long established contact with e.t's. While we expected to benefit much from their technology, it is they who now, also tattoo their faces.
Those aren't teeth, they evolved on a planet with lower gravity so the winds could carry much larger debris, so they evolved rather extreme lashes to protect their eye.
They also don't eat, they are born from the hive with all the nutrients they require in their large heads, so the older they get the smaller the head gets until their death.
His street name is eyeballs.
With this, i was playing with the idea that..humans made contact with other civilizations and some of our habit and culture rubbed off on them.
Apple, huh? Looks like you're an Android fan. I've switched to iEmpire but still miss the freedom.
Just kidding.
Seriously, I miss the Sci-fi where the aliens are NOT monsters, and where they don't think like the 20th-century politicians.
This is DOPE. I will say, if you're going to claim the extreme eyelashes aren't teeth, I would give them a different color/shading/something. Sure they're aliens so nothing has to match our notions of terran physiologies, but they are *very* teethlike. May more tentacle-like or like starfish arms...? Anyway, kudos on a cool alien.
