I would personally like it more if he looked decidedly unhuman when not in the shell. Obviously it's not up to me, but one of my biggest pet peeves about alien design is when everything basically has the same proportions as humans. Like there aren't even many animals on EARTH that look like humans, but somehow these aliens from an extremely different environment evolved convergently to have the generally the same number of limbs that perform the same tasks and same organs in the same places? It breaks my suspension of disbelief more than almost anything else. I love this design already, as I do all your art, but this could be a chance to go real weird if you felt like it.
