What software are you using to create the race? If you're not getting on with it, try something else.

THe other way to do it is to commission someone else to do your race for you. That's how several races came into being (including, oddly enough, another feline race- the leonine.)

thanks for conern Dogscoff
its actually an easy program DogaL3
but its not the program, its trying to figure out what kind of look i was going for
I went on the complete race directory, and its hard to not copy others, and darn those Kilrathi shipsets...they look good
lol

Try what the ILM boys do: pick a common object (outboard motor) and then distort and elaborate on it (B-Wing Fighter).

street light head
PS/2-to-9-pin-D (serial) connector
ergonomic mouse or trackball
toilet (would be difficult to make it unrecognizable enough to be a nice ship set)
egg beater
mixer
sun glasses
head phones
maple leaf
sea shell (may ne difficult to loose the 'organic' look)
feline shoulder blade (nicely unsymetrical)
bird pelvis
PCI card
hand soap pump dispenser
shrimp fork
men's belt buckel
revolver
wall sconce
mezo-american anthropomorphic pottery
cooling fan
bottle opener
unindetifiable women's jewlery
WWII tanks
mushroom cloud
Full Winsor knot
octothorpe
slice of pie

I think the most promising of that heap is the shoulder blade.
