Speculative evolution

The Age of the Metamorph Bird Clade Metamorphaves ~~~ The world of the Ultimocene is dominated by strange and wild creatures, many of them utterly alien compared to their introduced ancestors, but of all the planet's abundant life possibly no creatures are more derived than the changelings, or

Where evolution meets science fiction and art. Speculative Evolution (also called Speculative Biology and Speculative Zoology) is the envisioning...

A collection of quick sketches showcasing some of the lifeforms developed for an ongoing project in speculative evolution. Seiek is a world in which the K-PG mass extinction event never occurred.

Hey all! I have another entry here for the Sol'Kesh bestiary. Apologies for the watermark, I hate doing that but a friend got his art stolen for NFTs on Opensea which a really shit thing to happen to any artist. Not to say my stuff is worth stealing but whatever deters those scum.

Systematic: Aves (Bird), Sphenisciformes (group of Southern Hemisphere seabirds) sphéniscidé (Penguin Group and penguins), Neopygoscelis.

Cousins ​​of the 21st century: The penguin Adelie, Pygoscelis adeliae. Excellent diver, this is the most abundant penguins. We pushed to the "extreme" its marine lifestyle imagining a half-armed and half-body…

The ancestors of the terracetes were small dolphins living in the waters around an island landmass roughly equivalent in size and isolation to New Zealand. These cetaceans developed the behavior of driving their aquatic prey up onto the shore, beaching themselves in the process of catching it and then wriggling back into the water – similar to how some modern dolphins are known to intentionally beach themselves when hunting. They gradually became better and better at maneuvering themselves…

above: a social gravedigger catches a sharkbird, a fish-like aquatic metamorph bird, with a plant fiber line and a fishbone hook, demonstrating the continued evolution of the trap-building behaviors that defined their earlier ancestors. So returned to the ancient vertebrate condition are the

The most common of the deinonychosaurs (with mattiraptors a close second), the draks are the unquestioned lords of virtually all medium-sized predator niches in Africa, Eurasia, and North America. Little different from their Cretaceous forebears, draks are often heavily-plumed and many bear the large teeth and relatively small sickle-claws that have lead some scholars to link them to Dromaeosaurus. However, other drak species lack these features, which may be convergent with this ancient…

Speculative evolution, also called speculative biology and speculative zoology, is a genre of speculative fiction and an artistic movement, focused on hypothetical scenarios in the evolution of life. Works incorporating speculative Evolution may have entirely conceptual species that evolve on a plan
