What if aliens don’t look like us… but like bugs?
Meet the Mantid Man—cryptid, cosmic visitor, or just evolution’s favorite blueprint?

TEASING !
Depuis des années, je mijote un récit cosmique. Le 17 avril, il verra le jour chez @LaVolte
More soon…

Le livre posé debout sur une surface blanche indéfinie, comme s'il existait déjà. Une illusion fabriquée par Zariel, aux trois dimensions inquiétantes. Le titre, Nout, est écrit en jaune sur bleu sombre. Deux comètes au tracé blanc poudreux, une grande et une petite, grimpent en parallèle vers l'espace infini. Elles évoquent des spores prises dans un daguerrotype.

Something funny happened regarding this little carnivorous ceratopsian I came up with for a #Spectember challenge years ago. This week I found out a certain respected paleoartist had independently invented basically the same animal by accident.

Honestly I find this validating, vindicating even. It has to be a sign that a speculative evolution concept is solid if several people end up landing on it on their own.

#dinosaurs #ceratopsia

A mossy green bipedal dinosaur with a mottled pattern against a gradient background. It has long sharp claws on its forelimbs and its legs are slender and muscular. While it resembles a theropod  the sharp beak at the tip of its jaws, protruding jugals and a tiny frill   reveal its ceratopsian ancestry.

This is so cool! I love the sense of motion in their poses.

It's a drawing of creatures with blue round bodies and pterodactyl like white wings. They have four eyes and what look like mandibles and insect-like mouth parts. The back legs are black and segmented as in arthropods.

The abdomen is gray and possibly covered in fuzz.

The image contains the following text which I have OCR'd and added to the alt text of this image:

#alttext #art #speculativeevolution

Small and fierce, the Wrack Wing is a common sight along the sandy coastlines of the planet Chriirah. Like the closely related Bluestick Flyer, these creatures could easily fit in the palm of a hand but are generally left alone: when provoked, their mandibles can draw blood. 

When the tide is high the wrack wings nestle in communal roosts beneath drift-wood and dune vegetation, huddling together for warmth and mutual protection. When the tide retreats, they move out onto the beach to hunt alone and feast on marine life washed ashore. Competition is fierce, and little squabbling groups form and posture for the right to a kill. 

The wrack wing is also a capable hunter when needed, able to overpower small prey living among the dunes and the inter-tidal zone.

@ai6yr
if only nuclear radiation worked in the magic ways it did in 1950s comic books. Imagine, the Oklo reactor giving weird superpowers to strange microorganisms of the Paleporoterozoic, leading to a totally different history for all life on Earth.

Do you guys know any vtubers whose main thing is speculative evolution?

I found this youtube channel called cmkosemen recently and I really enjoy his streams and videos. I was wondering if there was a weeb version of that

Многие зрители здесь увлекаются созданием собственных животных или даже миров, у кого-то это просто наброски, у кого-то - целые проекты.
И сегодня с радостью представляю вам один из таких проектов!

Я начал увлекаться созданием своих миров во всё удаляющемся от нас 2019 году, с тех пор я следил за почти всеми проектами в жанре спек био, я видел и взлёт и угасание этой темы на ютубе и формуах. Постепенно я начал замечать то что многие новые миры шли по одним и тем же шаблонам, давно отработанным Alien Biospheres и прочими проектами в данном жанре...

Однако авторы упускали одно... Жанр относится к научной фантастике, смысл которой в бесконечном множестве вариаций необычных форм, а этот фантастический дух спек био начало терять, несчётное количество часов было потрачено на споры со спекулятивными биологами из разных проектов... Пока в один момент кто-то мне не сказал: А если не нравится, попробуй сам сделать лучше!!!

И я принял этот вызов...

Итак я представляю вашему вниманию новый спекулятивно биологический проект, который удивит вас необычными идеями, и сложными научными (в основном биохимическими) взаимосвязями, которые сплетаются в единую картину нового мира, Мира планеты Рани...

В проекте есть: Красивые 3д модельки, нарисованные в ручную 2д анимации, а также для тех кто любит биологический и биохимический юмор есть дополнительный бонус: мемы на выше изложенные темы прямо в ролике. Короче можно и посмеяться и узнать что-то новое для себя в плане биохимии и проследить за становлением нового фантастического мира.

This semester I worked on a speculative evolution project titled "Bestiarium von Übermorgen", where I explored how the fauna of Germany might look after 10 million years and how the current impact humans have on nature will greatly affect nature in even such a long time after we are gone.
I might show some of the animals over the next weeks.

#speculativeevolution #speculativezoology #animalart #futureevolution #creaturedesign

Presentation slides featuring a title card with various hypothetical future animals, saying "Bestiarium von Übermorgen - Deutschlands Wildnis in 10 Millionen Jahren", a second slide saying "Was hinterlässt der Mensch? 
-Anstieg des Meeresspiegels
-Ausbreitung der Tropen und Subtropen
-Meer erholt sich noch vom Anthropozän
-Invasive Arten erweisen sich als erfolgreich
A third slide showing a map of Europe during a future time, mostly covered by ocean due to the poles having melted. Germany is half covered by water. There is an island where Sachsen-Anhalt is currently.A rose-ringed parakeet descendant that evolved to be crepuscular and nest near caves.A future species of wolf that evolved to crack bones of carcasses.A descendant of the Chinese mitten crab that became fully freshwater dwelling, got larger and is covered by even more hair for camouflage.

another inhabitant from the same planet as the "cameloid" and the "turtlemu"

i imagine most members of it's clade hunt Klis-cha (the fly like drones that bud off from members of the clade the "cameloid" belongs to)

#specevo #SpeculativeEvolution #creatureart

a dragonfly like alien creature
size comparison shows it to be roughly the size of a human hand
it looks like dragonfly with a simple mostly featureless head w two eye stalks. it has four thin wings on its muscular back
the apparent tail is tightly folded so that the tip points forward. at the tip of the tail there is what looks like a cross between a baby chick and a spider. the cephalothorax of the chick attaches to the tip of the dragonfly tail at the top. in front of the attachment there is a small red bump, at the front of the cephalothorax there is a bird like beak. to the sides are two pairs of skinny insect like legs. behind the legs there is a small rabbit ear like structure. the abdomen has a small set of lips on the dorsal surface proximal to the cephalothorax and a bigger set of lips at the distal end, the lower lip being more developed
