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.

I think it would be useful to keep track of the sizes of the smaller creatures further away from the human.

It tells you how large they are in the list on the original post.

Also, DT I must say that I am amazed at what you have accomplished so far. What a mammoth task. Even more so that there is more to come.

Seeing the grove crab and India behemoth tower above most of the vertebrates warms my heart.

Punga: A terraformed world with no vertebrates

ARTH-6810: A world without vertebrates (It's ded, but you can still read I guess)

Potential ideas-
Swamp world: A world covered in lakes, with the largest being caspian sized.
Nematozoic: After a mass extinction of ultimate proportions, a single species of nematode is the only surviving animal.
Tri-devonian: A devonian like ecosystem with holocene species on three different continents.

Would it be alright if I wrote something based off of this chart? Essentially, I'm thinking a huge parade of spec evo creatures.

Perhaps a simple line showing the human's height compared to everything?

I think it would be applicable for small chart, and it would be otherwise appropriate to use a human anyway.

Think Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade for speculative evolution, complete with commentating. Wouldn't just be giants, though: I'm imagining flocks of swiftlets, flish, umohs, and frogates fluttering past megasquids with squibbons riding on their backs; Lemurian flying multies and gliding lorises gliding in between gigantic Umbriel trees; sauropods and toratons walking side by side.

I do not understand why you ask me permission to do something that has nothing to do with this topic, if you are not going to use some image or work of mine, I do not see the point of ask that.

Ooh, that's pretty cool. I'm imagining what a Mystipoda vs Tyrant Prawnking would be like.

Oh, and just imagine the Everest Grove Crab walking while "Kevin Macload - Chee Zee Jungle" is playing.


I know we should stop asing all the time, but I REALLY feel the need to say this. Will the aerwhale from sheatheria be added? It's no longer cannon, so probably not, but I'm still curious. Sorry.

Well, I must say that I had nothing planned to publish at this point until I finished or have more or less something complete as teasers, however since it is the first anniversary of the publication of the SE giant size chart, I decided to make a mandatory update on how this going. First of all I must apologize for the lack of activity and almost the absence of progress in this last year, unfortunately and in these last months, I have had to quit in drawing and doing work due to problems of a family nature, which forced me to keep me busy to work in projects.
At the same time, I had planned to look if there were some new projects around the community to have more candidates, in addition to reviewing other potential projects that I didn’t add in the first place.

This being clarified, time for the updates.

Main size chart Update V2.0

There would be two important changes or updates in this, considering that most of the original work is more or less wonderful, the first and least obvious is the design change of some sketches that I did before, this due to certain aspects that I did not take into account how it can be aspect, proportions, coloration, among others. The second and more obvious would be to add new creatures of new projects as well as old ones which I had not noticed before or had been added in the last year.

Posted Image
some of the new as an example

Alien size chart

Posted Image
Teaser

At the beginning of making this chart I thought that I was only going to have it separately in a file and I was going to mix the content of this one with the original one, however, due to the final size of the files, I should rule out the possibility of having a unique one, so the one about spec aliens will be completely apart.

On the collect project side it seems that I have managed to do well, I have found a considerable amount of them, not large since not all projects have described the sizes of their species or have not been completed, but enough to fill spaces, in this case and for being aliens I have run into a lot of giants that surpass even the blue whale or the largest of the sauropods.
Some projects that I have added so far are Snaiad, Nereus, ANU, Silvanus, Expedition, Horus and Dante and there are more in the making.


Real life size chart
I tried to take a different route in terms of work, making each individual species with more details, since I did not find the first table good, as well because I wanted to start practicing with paleoart, and have more experience with making animals (and because I like prehistoric animals like any other normal human being) but it will take a very long time to work.

At first I had also planned to put the animals with the SE ones to compare both real and fictitious organisms, however, the greater the content, the less space was left for the real ones, so at the moment there is no way to add them alongside with the main SE size chart. However, I have had another use for these in this case with smaller comparison charts, which I had mentioned a long time ago, in which I can individually put related species both real and fictitious.


The others charts

The ideas I had in mind continue as planned, at this point I have prepared at least 2 tables for organisms larger than 100 meters, such as the Emperor sea strider, the Ebony blisterwing (jezz why Darwin have kaiju-like organisms) and some spec organisms that are still in progress.

I still plan on making a chart for organisms less than a meter, because sometimes the largest organisms of certain groups do not always tend to be titans the size of elephants, as well most aren’t visible enough in the main chart with the actual proportions.

And finally, A “Sapient size chart”, bringing together the most relevant sapient species of speculative evolution, I have already started it.

Posted Image
The first one :)

For other things, if someone has any questions, opinions or doubts, you are free to ask.
However, I am not going to respond to suggestions on which projects I should add or not, in projects I will only hear the creators of these ones for anything.
