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.

May Specula Grant you Bountiful Spec!

I guess it's about time I post some of my pictures in thread form. Note that my art does tend to aim toward horrific or general strangeness: not guaranteed of course. With that in mind, here's some pictures and sketches.

Just a coloured drawing I made back in April. The legs look weird though.

Some coloured doodles I made in school for an RP idea I had.

Back while painting for the pterrestrial COM, I made these to release frustration of painting fur. These were fun, mindless things to do.

Just tonight I found a nice method of digitally sketching that I thought looked nice, so I made these.

That's ignoring all the things in my sketchbook, but I'm too lazy to scan a lot of those pictures right now, or stuff for projects I'm working on that I don't want to spoil.

Here's my DeviantArt profile. I would also link to my Tumblr, but I really don't post much art there (although I should).
If I sound rude while critiquing, I apologize in hindsight!

Maybe you could draw a form of memetic life?

Projects and concepts that I have stewing around
Extended Pleistocene- An alternate future where man died out, and the megafauna would continue to thrive (may or may not include a bit about certain future sapients)
Inverted World- An alternate timeline where an asteroid hit during the Barremian, causing an extinction event before the Maastrichtian. Dinosaurs, pterosaurs, and notosuchians make it to the present, along with a host of other animals.
Badania- Alien planet that has life at a devonian stage of development, except it exists in the present day.
Ido- Alien world where hoppers (derived flightless ballonts) and mouthpart-legged beasts are prevalent.
Leto- Life on a moon orbiting a gas giant with an erratic orbit; experiences extremes of hot and cold.
The Park- ???
Deeper Impact- a world where the K-Pg extinction wipes out crocodilians, mammals, and birds; squamates, choristoderes, and turtles inherit the earth.
World of Equal Opportunity- alternate history where denisovans come across Beringia and interact with native fauna. Much of the Pleistocene fauna survives, and the modern humans that end up crossing into North America do not overhunt the existing animals. 10,000 years later, civilizations exist that are on par with European and Asian societies.
The Ditch- Nothing is what if seems..

In the end, the best advice I could give you would be to do your project in a way that feels natural to you, rather than trying to imitate some geek with a laptop in Colorado.

This didn't come out as I wanted (I'm not that big on the style, and the anatomy is off a bit), but it's something.

Maybe I should try this again later.

So I recently bought some stuff from the local Michaels.

Also I'm planning to post all the doodles I made at school this semester.

Outlandish Doodles of a Bored Student Part 1: Bizarre Biology

Warning: Super huge. Unless your browser resizes images, using the url is probably better

http://i.imgur.com/x8AihRT.jpg

First period I'm still often tired so things don't get terribly odd, although you can see things are just starting. Most of the doodles this period are related to spec, some familiar and some not.

Outlandish Doodles of a Bored Student Part 2: Eerie English

Warning: Not nearly as large as last time, but it's still super big

This is where things get strange. Some spec is around, but maelstrom dominates.
