| Speculative biology is simultaneously a science and form of art in which one speculates on the possibilities of life and evolution. What could the world look like if dinosaurs had never gone extinct? What could alien lifeforms look like? What kinds of plants and animals might exist in the far future? These questions and more are tackled by speculative biologists, and the Speculative Evolution welcomes all relevant ideas, inquiries, and world-building projects alike. With a member base comprising users from across the world, our community is the largest and longest-running place of gathering for speculative biologists on the web. While unregistered users are able to browse the forum on a basic level, registering an account provides additional forum access not visible to guests as well as the ability to join in discussions and contribute yourself!

TL;DR VERSION: $1 SALE ON SPECULATIVE EVOLUTION ART COMMISSIONS- CREATURE SKETCHES, BIOLOGY SKETCHES, FLORA SCRIBBLES, WHATEVER. As some of you may have noticed with my recent return, I'm also sporting a new signature, one touting my new commissions! Long story short, I like money, and I like drawing things. But perhaps more important is the opportunities that this presents to you, fellow Speculative Evolutioners! I'm thinking of running a deal where, for a dollar, you would get a sketch of something from your speculative evolution projects (of course I would need links to your project and any existing descriptions and whatnot). While I cannot color (netbooks =!= digital art) and my art isn't perfect or as good as some, it's fairly decent and some people can figure out what they're supposed to be visualizing much better, if there's already visuals included! I know that some people have trouble with art or cannot art themselves, so I figured this would be a good way to put my few skills to work. (and make a few bucks while doing so) So, were I to contribute to the general Speculative Evolution community with this, would anybody be interested? Some art samples below, of creatures. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v252/yellowdrakex/sexyalien3.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v252/yellowdrakex/sketchesweekend-1.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v252/yellowdrakex/grubpugalien.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v252/yellowdrakex/alienwhatnot.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v252/yellowdrakex/lurksgalore.jpg Man, I hope this is allowed. I wasn't sure where else to put it, so mods, if this goes somewhere else, please be kind and deposit it wherever it would fit best. For those interested, and those interested in just commissioning art in general, you can pop over here; to my blog. Any takers? |

Stupid anti-pimping laws! I don't think there is a rule against it actually, but then I've not read the rules. Should really get round to it, but naaaah. When someone I know starts art-hooking, I generally tend to just ignore it because I feel such a whiny bitch saying "I would love to pay for stuff but I don't have any way to pay online" and I hate being a disappointment. |

How can you not have any way to pay for stuff online? Are you sixteen years old, living in south america, and homeless? ._. But that's besides the point :U I am in a situation right now where being financially stable isn't an option, hence why I'm going the extra mile to advertise here, since any chance to be a bit less dependent upon food stamps and government taxback is an excellent chance indeed. If this were older times, I wouldn't bother to advertise because I know that people on the internet are often poor as I am and thus; have no monies for things not needed. On the other hand, some people on the internet mysteriously come up with cash to blow on frivolous things like pretty drawings of speculative evolution projects or naked alien girls with crazy genitals. So, it's really a 50-50 chance, here. |

I don't want one of those card things they steal your money. Also it's a load of hassle to get a bank account when the building society if just fine for most stuff, so I just use my parents card when I need something. Hence why I don't really to explain to them that paying I'm getting someone to promise to draw me weird porn. Hence why I feel like a dick when someone I know starts doing commissions. |

Same as above. But also I fear you would make my freakish scribblings too sexy. GOD DAMN MONSTERS AND LARGE TEETH SHOULD NOT BE SEXY |

"You shall perish, whatever you do! If you are taken with arms in your hands, death! If you beg for mercy, death! Whichever way you turn, right, left, back, forward, up, down, death! You are not merely outside the law, you are outside humanity. Neither age nor sex shall save you and yours. You shall die, but first you shall taste the agony of your wife, your sister, your sons and daughters, even those in the cradle! Before your eyes the wounded man shall be taken out of the ambulance and hacked with bayonets or knocked down with the butt end of a rifle. He shall be dragged living by his broken leg or bleeding arm and flung like a suffering, groaning bundle of refuse into the gutter. Death! Death! Death!" | |

Naw, don't worry about it. And I like doing horror, too! Not just sexy...![]() Honestly, I don't expect to get many commissions from this site, because, well...lets be honest. This place. As opposed to like...the other communities I'm a part of. This place probably has more college students and whatnot, but the other places are places where we all have jobs and money and do art junk.

You have convinced me I do need to be able to pay for stuff online, but I don't make promises before I know I can keep them. Having said that I have a slew of aliens I'd like imagined that would be nice to have pictures for. Seven races for major powers, plus three more or less ruled by humans. That's well worth 50 dollars. I can loose 30 quid. Plus Nakie Quarians. Are you on FA? You could probably get some commissions from there. Edited by lamna, Aug 23 2011, 07:03 AM.

I would. I really would man. Problem is I am 15 and I don't think I could explain this to my mom in a way that would let me spend money on this... |

I know, but I mean naked naked, not just naked. Also I would like to see what you made of this design. http://mischievouslion.deviantart.com/art/Vision-of-Tali-244312608 |

Those guys look like they're all shouting. They remind me of sports fans. Eh. The tali design is okay, but I prefer hairless. |
