Was the All-Mother Yehkshir inspired by the Xenomorph queen I ask because I cant help but see their similarities

Lol actually, not at all. But I can see the similarities now and I don’t get annoyed by it since it would totally seem like it x,D

I’ve only seen the first movie, honestly. I thought the aliens looked neat and were cool, but I was never really inspired by them. I thought the Alien Queen was just a bigger more badass version of the Xenomorphs but after making the Yehskhir was I shown what the Alien Queen looked like and wow, yeah you’d think right? x,D

Yehkshir originally were based off of Mass Effect’s Reapers. Their head crests are shaped the same and their inner-crest designs were meant to be similar to the light patterns on the Reapers.

Their bodies were black as, well, Kuros thing x,D But their thin spider like limbs were meant to mimic inky looking eels, snakes, and all that spoopy stuff. The extra arms thing has been a fascination of mine, like the animals from Avatar, Dead Space or just bugs in general. The little arms actually were something I’ve done before with my demon…thing, LucyBelle! She was originally a Stalker from Dead Space 8,D

Been thinkin’ bout bring her back actually, or making creatures similar to her for Kurosia… BUT YEAH!

Also, my main ARTISTIC inspiration came from BeastofOblivion’s work. The way they do monsters always hit me right in the aesthetic. 

IN FREAKN’ CONCLUSION JAYSUS, nope Yehkshir weren’t inspired by Aliens at all. They were a cluster of reapers, spoopy stuff, Avatar/Deadspace, and Artistic inspirations. But I definitely don’t disagree how similar they are to Xenomorphs or the Queen, it makes total sense to me but in the end they aren’t!
