Description
Hello, everybody! I'm honing in on a reusable Big Booty Alien Chick!! Note to hungry dinosaurs: they are considered very "rich." And by the way, that is a Stairmaster in the background... Who wants to watch?? Bwa ha ha...
Now the important part:
Here's where I need YOUR help! I'm asking for suggestions to improve her appearance. This goes back to the old "Uncanny Valley" problem: she needs to look clearly alien, not like a misshapen human. At the same time, she shouldn't look TOO alien and wacky. We're aiming for the point of maximum empathy. Here are a few options to consider:
1. Change the skin color. In this group of aliens, purple and orange are already taken. I tried red, and she looked evil. I tried green, and she looked sick. Gray is a strong candidate.
2. Change the eyes. A different color? Snake eyes? Sheep eyes? Those disturb me, though, even on sheep.
3. Change the hair. May depend on a skin color change.
4. Things like blue teeth are just too weird, in my opinion.
5. The giant ears are subject to change. But, then again, they are a subtle pun for the Brits out there...
So, tell me what you think!! Let's make her the best we can!

To me she looks a bit wacky. Basically a small elf top-half with a large hipped human bottom half. I think she's much too human and needs something to unify her too halves. Perhaps some subtle scales on both halves?

My goodness, there are a few women like that out there, poor thing!

Minds me of the "drumstick" chickens they have created... Dinos would love it.

I like the ears and I think you may be right with the gray skin, like a pale gray, definitely closer to white than black. For the hair, if you go with gray skin, a soft blue could look good, go with a cold look or, if you want to make it warmer, perhaps a soft pink hair would work with gray skin. Also, in my opinion, if you want the bottom half to remain this large, the arms should beef up a bit. Or simply reduce the bottom by some amount to give it a bit more of a point of realism while still remaining out of the ordinary. Hope this helps :) Looking good, it's a cool concept.

"Hmmm... very rich diet? Doesn't bother me. A nice change from the skinny anorectics on most 3D sites! Too much bone, not enough meat or fat!" - T.Rex. Now, for some serious considerations - Skin color - a blotchy grey with blue or green blotches (guranteed to put a hungry T.Rex off!) Eyes - check somewhat slit-like pupils and dark yellow or mid-green eye color. Hair color - either blue or green, considering the blotches suggested for her skin. It fits in genetically. Teeth - white, like in all creatures (unless she's a vampire, in which red, or dirty gray or brown would do fine). Ears - maybe a bit rounded instead of pointy (unless that's a "point" for our UK friends!), and maybe furry? OK? :-)
Tall
If you make the eyes rounder, that could work (see the nurse alien from the start of JJ Abram's Star Trek) to subtly alienate the character, or how about additional boobs? May creatures have multiple sets of nipples, there's no reason why an alien might not have 4, 6 or 8 boobs. If applied, I'd imagine that making them successively smaller as they go down her body would work best for asthetics. Also, reverse knees (with or without cloven hooves) might be an interesting de-humanising trick, without affecting the face & arms (from where most personality & therefore empathy is transmitted).

I've no suggestions at this point, however go for what feels right
