Looking at it just now and I wonder if I finished the conversion; and it would be my opinion of how Sloniker's read of the original Albedo game system's take on the graphic novel would convert into GURPS 3e. An opinion of an opinion of an opinion of a graphic novel. cf Walking Dead.
But Albedo did do minimalistic anthropomorphics - upright walking, tool using, talking animals (in a space faring culture). Barely human; frequently not even humanoid, eg ostrich and kangaroo.
My own designs (maybe a dozen) were to be as human as an orc/elf/dwarf - man in a rubber mask sci-fi; perhaps of Andre the Giant or Warwick Davis stature, but very human chimera. If chimps share 95% of our DNA, then these would be more 97/8%.

Citizen Chimera
These were those chosen to serve amongst us who most benefitted from D’Foy’s Touch and for whom the Gift was intended.
Citizen Gene Lens [-17]
FP -1 [-3]; Wealth 9 [-10]; Immunity to DB [1]; Status -1 (Gené) [-5]; Sanitized Metabolism [1]; Acaudate [0]; Plantigrade [0].
Appearance: if Gené were human, their appearance would range from horribly disfigured to merely fixable. But they’re Gené – a cute puppy is still cute but a puppy. So appearance is from the point of view of the clade, eg a handsome Belle looks almost human but he’s still handsome, for a Belle.

ST8 [-20] DX11 [15] IQ11 [15] HT12 [30]

Machen [75]
White Tigron: 10’0” 420lb SM+1. Machen as in the German for do, or the French for chewed-up?
