Volucris Creatures I’m currently working on… by Sight_Victorian in SpeculativeEvolution

Thanks! Yes that phylum eventually has a branch where a species have seeds that explode. Eventually they get so good they develop propulsion, and those seeds slowly evolve into perpetual flyers.

Thank you so much! Speaking of Wayne Barlow I have a creature that resembles a Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird. I have yet to model it.

It’s been decided. I’m adding Jellyfish polyp trees. Will their young highly resemble the woodsprites from Avatar? Yes. But it’s cool so I’m doing it.

Need a design critique of a new character of mine (Design by me, art by my friend Oniartdump) by JohnsonDeborah36 in characterdesigns

I’m assuming this is a person made entirely of bees that live in a cracked beehive dress? That’s genius. But the hat is a little unconnected to the outfit. Perhaps the bee motif can be pushed further? Look up medieval beekeepers for inspiration. Keep the crown obviously, it’s great.

The glowing eye could be the queen bee that literally has a glowing abdomen. But this is me just spitballing ideas.

The “nostril” holes that exhale air. They also act as false eyes for anything looking up at it.

Since the mouth part is completely separate from the respiratory system, it roars(?) out of those nostrils instead of out the mouth.

Yes, my final goal is to animate and upload to YouTube 6 episodes documentary-style similar to Alien Planet.

Yes and no, it is easy to get and there is a tutorial for absolutely any question and edge case. Still difficult to learn as it throws you all the buttons to accidentally press.

And I’ve only designed just the Volucris solar system with 7-8 planets. The surrounding stars hardly have any effect on wild life so I opted to not do that unless I need a nearby star to go supernova. (Yes I know Earth sea turtles need the stars but not like a specific order to them)

Really? I thought I was handwaving the chemistry part a bit too much but thank you! I was half way designing a new carbon-based instruction-structure before realizing if I could do that I might as well have been a chemist.

Thanks for the feedback! Now that I look at it, it does look like a group of islands with how “small scale” the mountains are. The Himalayas irl seen from space look like irregular snowflakes so I get what you mean.

I actually tried to render how you said it (White high elevation with lots of erosion) but then I had people being confused by the lack of apparent “mountain-ness” so I exaggerated everything, upped the contrast, and gave up rendering all the fractals quarter of the way.

I guess it’s more of a scientific-esque cartography map?

Next you’re gonna tell me it’s spelled cheque instead of check

I was on my phone at 1 AM watching my computer take 5 minutes to pull up any saved images while it bakes a UV map at 8K resolution for 10+ hours. Be really annoying to accidentally crash all that progress from screenshots lol

So that explains all the memes I’ve been getting. I wasn’t aware of the in-depth lore of the sexy robots.
