Me, I think it's got to be my devil-dervish and my entries for the first Monster Mash. Honestly, the initial plans that I had for them were rather different (Namely a Lost Tapes-style thing where each monster picks off a few visitors), but when I got to writing, they just kinda... flowed into the resulting entry. Ideas for how they evolved, what they look like - it all just came really naturally to me.

Quotes
Spoiler: click to toggle OctoSharkTaSaurus: WELP. HELL-O-PHANTS IT IS. Kamineigh: I was six and I had started having fantasies about this old crone dying. Sometimes by my own hand. YOU'RE DOING SOMETHING HORRIBLY WRONG IF A SIX-YEAR OLD WANTS TO KILL YOU WITH THE SAME HANDS HE JUST USED TO MAKE A BLOCK TOWER. Parasky: No, he's right, they have a medical grade walrus at most hospitals for that sort of thing. Mr Mysterio, regarding yours truly: I'm learning things about you that I'm not sure I wanted to know. HangingThief: An otologist is only as good as his walrus Stealth_Rock: We have a discord for double penetration? Ichthyander: If your eyelids are massive enough to significantly affect the path of light in space, it is time to go sleep. Mr Mysterio: Glarn-Glarn, don't... don't fuck the cave baboons. Kamineigh: They lacked wings. Instead, they went around in modified pilot's gear and beat the shit out of people using maces. Parasky: No! We will not calm down! This is a serious argument over whether or not some long dead animal is in any way similar to a group of modern animals that they are descended from! THIS. IS. SEWIOUS. Lamna: Obvious typo, I'm never going to be popular in Belgium. Trex841: Interesting point. Valid counterpoint. Self-obsessed psychotic rant. Parasky: No ties. Begin genetically modifying crows until we have organisms that roughly resemble those in the competition, and then have them fight to the death to see who wins this competition. Alternatively, Cephalian and SabrWolf could fight to the death. But at the end of the day something will be fighting to the death for my amusement to determine the winner. Yellowdrakex: Is it alright to have an irrational fear of gliding snakes? They're snakes. FROM ABOVE. Kamineigh: See, you wouldn't be in this mess if you began a bloody revolution every time your leaders showed to unsatisfactory. Zihuatanejo: Somewhere in heaven, a very groggy, very confused angel has just woken up and is trying to figure out why a boisterous Australian man is poking it with a stick. Komodo: I'm sorry but in what alternative universe would thousands of zebras be sent back in time by some sort of illegal time travel group to change history and preparing them by making gigantic working animatronic allosaurs? Seriously, why? Parasky: Maybe y'all should move to America, where you can flex your freedom muscles. Sir Spookums: It's a game about children catching super powered monsters, stuffing them in tiny balls, and battling other strangers' monsters. What about that makes sense in regards to anything, mister Kam? Des Orages: Yi qi. Just when you think you've seen it all, nature screws us over once more. Kaminiegh: This is clearly an inaccurate statement. I'd never challenge the authority of an admin... Unless Paraksytron stubbed his toe and fell over. THEN I, STARSCREIGHM, WILL BECOME THE NEW LEADER OF OF THE DE-SPECU-CONS! Dragon: Is normal a good word to use for describing any of us? Velociraptor: I once dreamed I was trying to steal a flamingo. The flamingo was oddly calm about the whole situation. Kaminiegh: THAT'S IT, I'M KINKSHAMING. Flashman63: In its 4,600 year history, men from all eras, places and classes have been entering into the Library: from the ancient bearded sages of Sumeria and Chaldea, to the sober-minded Academics and Zoologists of the Victorian era, to the great warlord Cletus, an inbred hillbilly who just happened to be carrying his AR-15 around his County's Strip-Mall library. OctoSharktasaurus: Well, uh, it's a pseudo-tripedal, terrestrial subcontinental Madagascan Beaked Whale... Is that not obvious? It literally says it blatantly. Holben: Did you not add lamb's blood to your fruit juice and the crushed bones of an englishman to your salsa? It's not authentic if you don't. Kaminiegh: Shut up, Hybrid, stop ruining my chances of time-travelling and getting some Neanderthal tail! Mr Mysterio: Except maybe Canada. If ever there was a country that was hiding secret reserves of powerful alien technology, it's probably mine. HangingThief: If you answered mainly "yes," you are most likely a salamander. Unfortunately it is becoming harder and harder to tell these days. Monster: In vaguely related news, I've developed a fear of my sewing machine. WHAT ARE YOU STRANGE NEEDLEBEAST Mynxi: He sowed the seed, I merely pissed on it and saw what grew. Beetleboy: The moral of the story: never trust a catfish. Parasky: Speaking of original, note to self: write erotic classical Chinese literature fan fiction Bromance of the Three Kingdoms under pseudonym Tuck Chingle. Little: Starting playing DND, took all of an hour of gameplay until a yuri love-triangle was initiated. And no, it was not my fault. Corecin: If this is your first time with a lesbian love triangle in a DnD game than you don't even have to specify that you're starting out. Octo: Oh no now Little will enlighten with the deep and complex subject that is hentai lore. Beetleboy: It shows what kind of person I am that I'm seeking crush advice on a forum about creating fictional organisms. Corecin: I am not in the mood for looking up yuri because then the FBI agent monitoring my computer will judge me with reckless abandon. Blue_Komrade: Excuse me sir I am going to have to see if you have your membership card to the Misanthrope Club. Parasky: Ultimately, by the miracle of microbiology and biochemistry, I have accidentally added an additional month to my brew and created a Bavarian style hefeweizen rather than the American style wheat beer I planned, despite technically not having the correct ingredients. However because I wrote down what I did wrong its not a mistake it's actually science. Rebirth: I can't be the only one curious about what would happen if you spayed and neutered a male antechinus before it reached sexual maturity. Ebervalius: Laws? What kind of spooky cuckery is that? Parasky: Ah see, but that's just the thing, you thought that I thought that you thought that I had said you hadn't read it, when really I had said that you had said that you thought that I thought that you hadn't read it. So really it's Flisch's fault.

This is reminding me that despite my interest in speculative evolution and all my years here on a forum devoted to exactly that, I've actually not done all that much speccing myself.
My proudest work would probably be my Dragons project: http://s1.zetaboards.com/Conceptual_Evolution/topic/4880813/1/ Though it ultimately ended up stagnating and never being continued after that, it still stands out as being the only of my creations on this forum that actually was a full on project (the only other things I've made on this forum have been stand-alone creatures for COMs and speculative evolution themed ideas I proposed but never went on to make into projects- such as my space dwelling alien creature idea). I have long had possible ideas for other projects, its just I've always had trouble committing to them.

I´m startting to becoem very proud of my spec over all and i think i shoul appreaciate my stuff more (this applies to everyone towards their projects) of my projects I was very proud of the research I did for fanaaura and also Astarte(a lot of people have helped me wit that one so the merit is not only mine) and many ideas I will tell
though at the moment i made it I felt very proud of this particular old drawing
 Cryptovaranus sylvaticus or stripped tailed Nagga for the Allocene project collab, is nto very weird as a concept just a rather conservative varanid in a world of neo mosasaurs,gliding lizards and duck billed monitors but still I liked how I made te drawing (I followed references very crealy but did it at hand and then scanned it and edited in mypaint , and it was liked by a lot of people, not the best concept not the best art but it was the first of many to come

I thought not. It’s not a story the newbies would tell you. It’s a forum legend. Lyvatan was an admin of the forum, so powerful and so wise he could use science to influence the human imagination to create life… He had such a knowledge of the forum that he could even keep the ones he cared about from leaving.Speculative Evolution is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural. He became so powerful… the only thing he was afraid of was losing his admin power, which eventually, of course, he did. Unfortunately, he taught his apprentice everything he knew, then his apprentice banned him while he was offline. Ironic. He could save others from leaving the community, but not himself.

My proudest work is this painting, as it is my first illustration showing an example of life in its natural habitat on Hodea, and it was a big breaktrough for me as an artist. http://s1.zetaboards.com/Conceptual_Evolution/single/?p=3129228&t=8134140

I have a horrible tendency to start things and never finish them, so my proudest work has got to be Settlers from the Deep, even if for no other reason that I worked on it until it was all done.

Mine would have to be the 'mini- project' consisting of two very loosely related entries from the past two winter- themed COMS (this and this). It doesn't go into much depth in terms of worldbuilding but I plan to keep adding to it every winter COM. Maybe if I keep it up long enough it'll eventually form a somewhat complete and cohesive project.
I do like the first one a lot more than the second even though the first one didn't win its contest.

I've made three major projects during my years on the forum, two of which (The Neozoic and Valhalla) have been rebooted at least once each. My favorite, though, is one that I only recently started and intend to be my Magnum Opus of Spec. I call it, for good reason, The Big One. The premise of The Big One is that instead of chordates, annelids became the dominant large animals on Earth following the Cambrian. Instead of just looking at the present, however, the project explores all of the following half-billion years, looking at everything that changes as a result of the annelids' triumph. In my introduction to it I referred to it as "the Mt. Everest of Alternative Evolution"-- a rather bold statement, but a fitting one, I believe, seeing as this one diverges from our own timeline farther back than any I have ever seen before. You can find a link to it in my signature if you want.

I'm personally proud of all of 2D world project so far. It's just... there's so much trying things out and messing around behind it and when it all clicks together into a coherent world it's quite satisfying.
I also have a soft spot for Dreidel's beakworms. Until them, acanthopterans were mostly just beaked fish-like things, and given their dominance of freshwater I obviously was going to have a terrestrial group appear. I like how I was able to use this to change their bodyplan up into something that was definitely not a pseudo-tetrapod.

About Me I will often say things that are irrelevant, jar the ongoing discussion, seem rude, or are just plain wrong. I'm not good at integrating into communities. I don't do well in many text-based situations due to the speed and the fact that I like to quintuple check what I write. I like to quintuple check everything and often refrain from saying things due to worry. I like eating lemons whole (except the peel).

I've said it before and I'll say it again: We're in the middle of a vast maelstrom of interstellar warfare, unaware of the currents of destruction around us. What we pick up are short emergency bursts. Something out there is plunging our galaxy into chaos and all we can do is listen to the scraps we can detect, oblivious to the carnage that is threatening to consume all life in our universe.
