B5races & JMS Bibliography

[Parun]

So, I've been having some fun the last months, made a JMS Bibliography and worked on a picture collection of all the different aliens to ever have appeared on B5, which I started with some years ago. Now at last I thought it was ready to put online:

That was useful. Thanks.

But could you please make the blue text a bit brighter? For example yellow? (Blue on black is a bit low-contrast. White would mix up with the stars so don't do that.) Not everyone has the amazing powers of the Opera browser, where you can change the appearance of a site with two clicks on a drop-down menu. I'm using the C= Commodore 64 Nostalgia mode now

Cool.

Wow, that's cool!

 

[RMcD]

Wow!! I've never noticed half those alien races before..

Wonder how many have since shown up in Buffy / Angel?

Isn't the one near the beginning labeled 'Brikiri' an early Markab?

 

[grumbler]

Nicely done. I don't think I have seen anything nearly as good. Maybe we can start connecting some more dots.

Looks good.

If you feel like archiving all that useful data somewhere, the
Babylon 5 Wikipedia is in need of contributions.

Your skills as a collator of information would be put to good use there!!!

Thanks for the kind words everyone!

Hmm, maybe you're right. I guess I'll try some other, more "contrasty" blue tone soon, but I don't want it to have any other colour, especially yellow looks bad as text. But well, that's only my opinion.

Isn't the one near the beginning labeled 'Brikiri' an early Markab?

Well, yes I guess. A post at JMSNews says:

It's *possible* you have the Marcabs confused with the Brikiri, who are somewhat similar in look, until you get close; [...]

So are they put to a bad use now?

I do have a few quibbles with some (they could arguably just be humans who've gone through a little gene modification for whatever reason) but otherwise it's great. I rather like the picture for Humans.

I did too, especially the insignia on the cap he's wearing.

Hardly, I just thought others could also benefit from you work...

Yeah, I know, and even if they are aliens, some of them could easily be of the same race. But I thought better to put them in there anyway, this way I at least didn't leave anyone out.
