Ah, neat. Thanks again for the in depth advice and resources. Those concept art galleries are definitely something I'll look into more when designing my characters.

Oh, neat! I'll have to check that book out as well sometime too.
Yeah! It's more fun to design your own stuff from scratch rather than knock off another series' design. No shade to anybody. But at a certain point scifi conventions feel exhausted. Give me something exciting and weird any day. Id take fifth element over star trek, but that's just me.
