I haven't done any algorithmic art stuff in a long time, I'm afraid! I've never found the time to get particularly into it except as a theoretical exercise. I'd post on the boards if I were you, somebody is bound to be heavily into it.
The stuff you're producing is impressive whether hand-drawn or algorithmic. They have that fine balance between organic creativity and structural regularity where they seem like they could be either. That in itself is actually a really impressive trick for all sorts of reasons, but your designs are mesmerisingly pretty as well. I feel like these would transfer well into other mediums, things like fabric prints and patterns.
Would those be displayable on an NES? It doesn't look like they were designed to the limitation of maximum 4 palette colours in an 8x8 pixel block, which is present in most NES art.
It is possible to design stuff which has as many colours as shown here while staying within that limitation, but it requires incredibly careful and clever layout. So I can't tell for sure without looking very closely.
Very close to the classic xenomorph, but I've never seen anyone give it bat wings before! Seems so obvious now that I've seen it, since it's basically a "dragon".
The bottom middle one is very reminiscent of the boss enemies from the Alien Breed games, although it doesn't look specifically like any of them that I can remember.

Keep 'em comin'!
Are you algorithmically generating these?
More of this please - I discovered recently when I went looking for one that we don't have very many ringed planets here on OGA :-)

@albs_br congusbongus was making one, but only they know if it ever got finished.
Playing around with this art and some of my other subs, I made this mock-up.
Oh, good work!

Love that croc. Portrait is wow too.
