User blog:Tiberius64/Need Ideas for Aliens in ''Ad Astra'' Series

The pilot for my upcoming Ad Astra series is in progress. I have children given to parents, relationships established by marriage, and a story being brainstormed as I speak. For any of you who read Balance of Terror, I mentioned some made-up alien names like the Thoroni, Soruna, V'malnons, T'larans, and the I'lin (none of which, surprisingly, are in Star Trek), and now wanna integrate them into the stories. Here's my main problem: should I make them all humanoid or should I base them off the aliens in the Shooting Star Milkshake Bar? In Star Trek, most aliens are humanoid with very vew exceptions; and yet, there's the danger that I totally screw up drawing them by being totally original...I dunno. What do you guys think? (Feedback appreciated!)
