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. -
A centaur from the Shess ethnicity poses with their clan's small flock of Tep, a livestock animal that is farmed for its meat and cheese-like edible silk. Hanging off their foreshoulder and hooked to a belt on their rear waist is a 2 meter long black powder rifle, characteristic of centaur firearms developed before first contact. The shepherd keeps it with them while herding the flock to ward off wildlife that competes with or likes to eat Tep.

Phtanum B - Radulids! This superdiverse clade consists of ground-mowing herbivores, from insect-sized to biblical in scale. Feel free to ask questions about any of them! ^-^

Phtanum B - Ramjet Dragons! Napalm-ejecting aerial predators, all of them. From the deocardid-downing mirrorback to the colossal firewall ramjet, these alien parodies of mythological earthen beasts do the term justice.

Phtanum B - Lactismids! An enormous deuvertebrate group with over 4000 species. Characterized by large size, high limb count and inhabiting megafaunal niches on most portions of the planet. Some like Polycnemis ayhani are terrestrial apex predators!

Phtanum B - Deocardid Sketches!
These six phtanumbian critters are some of the biggest on the planet. These are, to be honest, some of my favorite critters from the project. A detailed description follows!
Description:
Sketches of six deuvertebrates of the aneucnemida superclass. These six organisms are deocardids, or windwhales - an aneucnemid clade that includes some of the largest deuvertebrates of the planet by sheer scale. Deocardids are aerial filter-feeders that scoop up swarms of smaller aerial organisms with foldable, fan-like extensions of their underside. These animals are highly pneumatized, to a degree where the extend of their lungs and air chambers exceeds that of their actual tissue by a huge margin - making these organisms deceivingly light for their size. This does bring its drawbacks however: deocardids need to avoid storms or mountaneous regions to avoid being brought out of control by strong winds or rapidly changing weather. In times of need, these organisms jam their extendable pseudofeet into the ground akin to a stake and reel themselves in to protect themselves during a storm. Smaller deocardids use this method to „kitewalk“ too.
Like nearly all aneucnemid flyers, deocardids use airhearts-pumps to propel themselves within the skies. While those of the smaller ramjet dragons may sound like screaming diesel engines, the ones of deocardids are slow and rumbling, and loud enough to rupture someone‘s eardrum when up close. This sound is also what gave them the clade the name deocardids - a name that translates to god-heart. The airhearts of windwhales sound like eerie heartbeats when heard from a distance.
With deocardids making so much noise, they are bound to attract some opportunistic predators eventually. Bright colors in the form of aposematism are supposed to disencourage predators from attacking, but that does not always work. Larger deocardids like the red windwhale have multiple lines of defenses: The first to engage with the predator are hordes of symbiotic smaller flyers, the congregation, that follow the windwhale around akin to a living aircraft carrier to feed on its dead skin or parasites. Once this line of defense falls, the giant organism resorts to pore-turrets that eject both intoxicating blinding black mist as well as high-pressurized fecal pellets to snipe the attackers out of the sky.

Another piece I finished relatively recently.. Light ’Em Up, Johnny! A flock of mirrorback ramjet dragons (Autostochus miradorsum) hunts a red windwhale (Deocardis majestica) and its congregation. These 14-meter long aerial superpredators are the undisputed lords in the heavens of Phtanum B.

Hello! I am Paul, an aspiring sci-fi artist who likes to draw red landscapes and weird creatures. Working on a worldbuilding project that documents organisms on an hypothetical alien planet: Phtanum B! Human history lore included!

Challenge: Begin with a known dinosaur. Come up with a series of speculative evolutionary events that leads to one eye migrating to the opposite side of the body, so that both eyes are on the same side of the body (in adults, not necessarily in juveniles), like a flounder.
Expert Challenge: Begin with a dinosaur that has no aquatic adaptations, and use no aquatic steps throughout the whole evolutionary series.

Why don't these speculative evolution people do more with #ants? they tend to ignore arthropods, or if they do pay attention to arthropods it's always spiders for some reason. (?) Or at BEST bees.
Bees are very nice. But bees don't have specialization. In one super organism you get as many morphs as you want!
Also, it's *practical* since ants will take over the world someday. It's just wise to consider what that might look like. Be reasonable.

Whenever I see #mudskippers I think of the tribbets from Serina, which is probably my favorite #specevo project. Maybe given enough time and a vacuum on land they could achieve tripod locomotion of some sort.

Hello everyone, I'm Dan. I'm an #ESL teacher in Sofia #Bulgaria and I write #scifi, #fantasy, and #alternatehistory under the name Daniel M. Bensen. My current big project is Fellow Tetrapod, a serial novel about #specevo, #cooking, and people being people. Links to everything in my profile. #introduction

Phtanum B - Sketches of multiple large lactismid specimens. The lactismids are a widespread group of carnivorous, many-legged deuvertebrates characterized by a large number of limbs, primarily used for walking on wobbly biomat ground and bony phalanxes used for prey capture, located at the jaw arm tips. #Phtanum_B #scifi #worldbuilding #specevo
