Sustained Denial of Service attacks. Paid for botnet. Service will continue to be disrupted until I can contact other providers and arrange a fix.

I sometimes dabble in personal story writing (mostly science fiction) and often find myself wanting to make original species (i.e. aliens). Some of my designs seem to have been really good. One image I commissioned was posted on reddit and got over two thousand upvotes before the poster went on a spergfest and deleted all their posts. Others species I came up with don't seem to be worth spit judging from the lack of reactions others give them. And that's enough power leveling for one day!
What do you think makes a good species? Is it all about the visual design or is it more nuanced in your opinion? Should some characteristics/design elements be avoided? (e.g. scales and hair)
