That's startrekrcks-startrekk-chriskirkgeek-jamestkirkfan for you...always supportive of anything Star Trek XI. Yawn.

speak to what the post is about not me please.
I'm relatively sure my point was made...your cover is blown, again.
Thanks for the forum etiquette tip, though. Again, yawn.
The Salt Vampire looks great, the Gorn - if it indeed is supposed to be a Gorn- looks like shit. The design of the ENT Gorn is far superior, even though it looked quite ugly being obviously TV budget CG.
The point of putting Gorn-like and Salt Vampire-like aliens into ST 2009 is so that fans can say, "Hey, I think I just saw...!" It's not as if anyone in the movie will make a point of presenting the Gorn and stating that it is a Gorn.
ST IV, V and VI did the same with various iconic aliens.

Be advised that if JJ becomes really annoyed with all the fan bitching he might just decide to intentionally piss on you and produce a Gorn that looks like this
And make a billion dollars doing it.
Says the person who demonstrated his lack of interest in the subject by posting in that said thread multiple times and contributing nothing.
So I'm guilty of having my own personal view of ST? I wasn't aware that was something that should be discriminated against. And really Dukhat, this a forum. People complain all the time. I'd much rather hang out with folks like that than people like you who just want to diss users directly.
And what are you talking about insignificant? If you're going to go for a creature that looks like a Gorn and you flat out say it was "inspired by the Gorn", why not just call it a Gorn? Especially if it takes place in, you know, Star Trek. It's like making a creature in Star Wars that has a striking resemblance to a wookie, but you say it's not because it was only 'inspired' by a wookie. What's the point? Sometimes a cigar SHOULD just be a cigar.
An ewok.
An Ewok has striking resemblance to a Wookiee?

Hm, yes, indeed, about as much resemblance as the Abramsgorn has to a TOS-Gorn. And since an Ewok is not a Wookiee, the Abramsgorn is not a Gorn.
Absolutely unacceptable.
Well, it was sort of a joke post, but the Ewoks were "inspired" by Wookiees. The original plan for "Return of the Jedi" (when it was "Revenge...") was to set the action on a planet of Wookiees instead of a moon of Ewoks. Sawn-off Wookiees.

Hmm...I wonder (in an ultra nerdy way) if that's the same Salt Vampire from TOS? Wasn't it meant to be the last of it's people? Maybe it escaped from Rura Penthe before finding Roger Korby, and endured all sorts of hell before getting killed by the TOS crew. Cue "The Salt Vampire Chronicles" comic series...
The Gorn looks great too.
I prefered the Salt Vampire's new look myself.

That's what they did with Keenser, so probably.

Trelayne had a stuffed one in his castle on Gothos!

Is it me or does this salt vampire look a little more well feed then the one from The Man trap? I wonder if the Klingons are missing a rather larger number of prisoners?
