New Andorians

[cooleddie74]

They looked the same to me. They just had cranial and facial tattoos.

 

[Hythlodeus]

anyway, original design got changed
also, wasn't there an episode, TNG if I remember right, with proto-Vulcans? basically Vulcans in the stone age? They had the Romulan forehead vagina too, IIRC

 

[Tuskin38]

There was a makeup test for ST'09 that showed the Romulans a more pronounced brow, but it was more Neanderthal like then TNG Romulan.

 

[cooleddie74]

The Mintakans in "Who Watches the Watchers?" Yeah, they had enlarged brow ridges that set them apart.

It looks like a more detailed version of ENT Andorians.

ah, might have been that makeup test I was thinking about

I'm glad JJ went with the TOS look and just had them shave their heads and wear tattoos.

Me too. I never liked 24th century Romulans.

 

[cooleddie74]

I got used to their appearance and eventually loved them but they never felt like Vulcans who naturally evolved brow ridges in just two millennia.

 

[Hythlodeus]

of course, the shoulderpads didn't help.

The 1988 Working Girl look took off in the Romulan Star Empire after first contact with humans. They somehow downloaded Enterprise NX-01's database while in the minefield.

 

[Turtletrekker]

I'll draw the line when they re-design the humans.

 

[Hythlodeus]

why? they're the worst. they look so bland and uninspired. and it's not like the designers can make up their mind if humans have beards or not

 

[cooleddie74]

I want giant ridges on the human groins or I'm boycotting the show. #NotMyTerrans

Yeah, pretty sure the main prosthetics were the bald caps. Even Nero's wife, who was only briefly featured doesn't appear to have any prosthetics:

And I think the only time we see an actual Andorian in any of the later shows is in the BG of "Captain's Holiday" (plus a hologram in "The Offspring")

Now I'm going to have a whole Guinan-like backstory in my head for that Andorian. One of the few survivors of a mysteriously decimated race, now roaming the galaxy alone...

 

[Hythlodeus]

looks like his head had an errection

 

[rhllot]

I still ponder how many Drugs the TNG crew were on with that design.....

half andorian/aenar

 

[INACTIVERedDwarf]

I cant fault the makeup artists for their technical skill, but like I say, its okay sometimes to make aliens who have smooth skin - I thought the Andorians in ENT were more or less perfect.

I also like that they used some puppets in one episode (barely seen), the show could do with more of that, like Farscape:

Why hasn't Star Trek asked the Henson group for help?
