FRANK R. PAUL'S SATURNIANS

 In 1940, science-fiction art pionneer Frank R. Paul did pieces showing what life could be on other planets. In his own words:

Life on Saturn would evolve along the insect line, wiht light body, capable of walking spider-like along its swampy unstable surface.

Paul depicts Saturnians as quadrupeds with thin spider legs, an oval body, four concentric tentacles-like arms over which are slits which might be nostrils or small mouths,and a small head at the top with 2 eyes. Given the complexity of their city, they seem to have developed an industrial civilisation.
