While the telepathic language of these beings is not pronounceable with any tongue known to man, the closest English approximation of their names would be Skip and Fran. Skip and Fran are enjoying a rare double sunset in the crystal laden hills of their homeworld, Nebukropp, on this glorious Valentines Day.

The sci-fi cyclops enjoy a romantic sunset on a red planet, an impossible diamond tree behind them.

[Jectoons]

Love is blind, they say

[Breaktroll]

even in space, most good relationships end up like this..

hah, this is mostly a joke, ofcourse. otherwise i would have spent a bit more time on it. :p maybe i'll post another, more detailed, drawing.

Little do the amorphous extra-dimensional life masses on the Planet of Inconceivable Terror know, but the combination of their planet's argon atmosphere combined with the extreme radiation of their uranium-rich soil produces a spectacular, swirling cloud of deep purples and fluorescent blues that gently light up the night sky.

But they do not know this, as they are faceless beings whose form and spacial relativity is ever-shifting.

(I think I focused too much on the aliens, but here it is, nevertheless...)

For a romantic fool like Xarhanst, Intergalactic Valentine's day had to be special. Even when a classic "Happy Valentine's day, love!" & a box of vaporized mint chocolate would have been enough. So, he used his connections as a bounty hunter, and learned where would be the perfect spot to watch a giant space battle that occurs near spacestation New Athens. Not only did he provide his love with the light show of the century, spiced with the beautiful stars of the Ravat system, he also had a very special amulet to give. The amulet has a heart shaped crystal vial, that is filled with 5 different bloods. One for each other sentient races, and that precious juice of life once belonged to one of his biggest bounties.

Now the the stars & occasional explosions that can be seen almost a lightyear away light this moment...

I couldn't resist putting in a cheesy background story :P Naturally, a more hi-res image can be found here... http://fatchaos.deviantart.com/art/Inter galactic-Valentines-Day-111928605

I love using Flash to do my art, so happy valentines day people.

[Jonas]

The full sized.

The basic backstory is simply the couple was told on the brochure that if they traveled to this planet, they'd hear the most beautiful music in the world.

It's really too bad the travel agent didn't explain that the music was the incredible vocal harmonics of the Peglegged Rabbit of Toursenic. It's warbling death cry as it lunges towards it's victims causes them to pause and savor the incredible sounds of the beast seconds before being brutally devoured.

It's a really nice date, provided you're fast.

[Catoblepas]

The game of love, moment between the two, an erotic journey lasting for the whole night.

A Gleegan couple go on a vacation to the lava beaches on the beautiful Sublime Isles of Venus, as they enjoy their drinks and talk under the midnight sky. (Again...)

[UnderARock]

they get off on killin' off other races :3
I have one more idea Ill probly try to get in before the end

[fofizzle]

Done!
Unlike most other submissions, this is a whole planet and not just aliens. This planet is called the polygamist planet which has a population of 4. The populations is made up of 3 faceless, white women and a big fat man who makes up the planet.

[VirusN]

I'm not going to win (too many good artists here at the BBS, lol)
but i love this style

[Mystery-Moon-Pie-Aud]

On this V-Day, an alien proposes on the far-out planet where deadness is embraced (its name induces chills and instills fear temporarily, so it is preferably not said). Although it may farfetched to propose with a knife, it is a common way for these aliens, as the male proposes by offering the female a knife, and if accepted, both these aquatic creatures stab themselves in the heart, and throw themselves into the Rigga Mortis River, where they drown. This ensures that these lovers can be eternally bonded in a hellish land which could hopefully look worse than where they are now.

First off - I am not good at art on the computer. I doubt you are allowed to trace stuff - but I tried to draw the Enterprise free-hand and it just didn't come out right.

However, I thought this image was funny when it popped into my head, so I decided to share it. Disqualify/delete it as you see fit.

Happy Valentines Day!

[StickDinosaur]

These two aliens belong to a species that are very openly affectionate. They live on an exciting planet with no dangers or plant life. The green one's name is Lapp Shinn a fierce warrior, the other, Quay Low who's beauty is known throughout the land.

[Myhatisblue]

the purple guys name is Oliver, he only leaves his cave once a year in search of LOVE!! regardless of if you want it or not D:

[fawfulBeans]

I couldn't resist having a go at this after reading rule four."Use a decent art program. Unless you're a master, MS Paint will not cut it.".
Drawing attention to the last part,"MS paint will not cut it",rather than the,"Unless you're a master" bit,i don't want to sound like a fat head so concetrate on the first of those two.

Heres the pic in it's actual size.

With the help of Mattster092, I have decided to post this.
Aren't they such a cute couple?

Made these to sell in school, figure they'll fit well here too. Harry the Hapless Heart in the search for true love.

[Mattster]

Well, here goes my submission :)
These 2 Gigantic birds spend most of their time in love, however on valentines day, they can grow hateful. Their heads are shaped like hearts, and they can retract their long necks into their bodies for transportation.

On the border colonies of Mar Sara, the release of oxygen by human terraforming events triggered the awakening of an ancient, powerful, destructive race of alien organisms. These organisms latch onto the bodies of living creatures, taking over their thoughts, feelings, wants, and desires, while slowly digesting the hosts' body to survive. While basic survival emotions such as fear or hunger were commonplace on Mar Sara, the aliens before had never felt an emotion so uniquely intriguing as love. They were quick to embrace the emotion as their own, and to go about the practices of love found in the archival depths of the minds of the humans. They've even set up their own Valentines Day to coincide with the planet's passing through the asteroid belt. Surely a romantic time, occurring once every 7.2 human years, when the surface of the planet is heavily bombarded by asteroids ranging from the size of a dime to the size of a large truck.

Unfortunately for the aliens, with love comes heartbreak. And here again, even lightyears away, on the distant colony planets, heartbreak rears it's ugly head (or lack thereof, in this instance). This poor soul has opted to take the human way out, by drinking until he forgets her. Or drunk holo-texts her.

Incredibly massive version over here
