Hmmm...
I guess I’d hoped for something like Jay Eaton’s Runaway to the Stars, like a simplified and I dunno... a more visually appealing version of Sniaiad? I really like Snaiad... but I don’t think it would go very well as a pitch for an animated mockumentary.

OH! I haven’t looked at Iguanodont’s tumblr in ages. Wow there’s a lot of new spec evo stuff! Either that or I just got sucked into the wurm-otter and merpeople art and didn’t even check out all these other cool entries.

I browse r/SpeculativeEvolution. Sturgeon's Law is in effect, but there's some neat smaller projects there. Tumblr is definitely better for keeping all of your project in one place, though.

There’s a new Serina update, with further fleshing out of aquatic ecosystems and some very interesting new developments on land.

Ooooh, aquatic! All the sea mittens look like creatures from my dreams. Also the gravedigger is a neat little dude.

I love specevo!! I've had a couple ideas in the past, but one that I'm proud of is my idea for a planet whose sea has been turned into a gelatin-like substance by its dominant life form, an animal similar to coral in structure that emits a gelatinous substance to trap its microscopic prey. The conditions were so favourable for this life form that their population exploded, and now the better part of the planet's ocean has been turned into jelly. Other life forms have since adapted to these conditions and have grown to rely on them. I haven't drawn this "jelly machine" yet, but I have drawn another speculative animal. This was... a couple years ago, but I'm still proud of this one. It's supposed to be a theoretical "flycatcher", an animal that feeds like.. some kind of terrestrial filter feeder. This image shows their scale, sexual dimorphism and skeletal structure. Given that this was a few years ago, it's not perfect in terms of accuracy, but I still think it's cool.

The weirdness of the creatures you mentioned makes you realize how strange the history of life on Earth is when you think about it. Like, who would have ever come up with an elephant if they didn’t exist? Or a whale?
