| 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!

Since this is looking to be a pretty big undertaking I've decided to give it its own thread. For those not in the know, I'm putting together an advanced-level coloring book that doubles as Ilion 101 to introduce non-speccers to the project and speculative xenobiology in general. Progress Inception First two finished pages + post processing |

That's so cool! What a great idea! Your art style translates naturally to this. |

![]() This is Nine, the star walrus with nine facial palps. More on her later, and the rest of the lifeforms in this picture, though you've probably seen most of them before. |

Depends on who I can get to publish it. When it's finished I'll take a shot at giving the Naish-Conway-Kosemen triforce of spec first dibs. So far they've only published their own stuff, but I can see Irregular Books expanding into a platform for speculative evolution art books, can't you? We need more of that in this world. |

Better start saving I doubt anyone will print for that cheap. Speaking of which, I'm also considering releasing in PDF so people can print their own and not pay tons for shipping and such.
