They're supposed to have a slightly uncanny human resemblance, sort of like the first Avatar movie where their eyes are huge and they have a different facial structure/proportions. My digital versions are a little too human :-/

Told myself in Feb when I made these that I'd participate in #MerMay2025. The uni-beam struck me dead instead. :-[
