some silly sketches of an amphibious inchworm-like “fish”. probably an alien creature... more info in alt text #specevo #creaturedesign #sketch #procreate

a fictional creature with only 2 true limbs, but with the help of proleg-like appendages on the tail & specialized skin secretions, it can grip tree branches and other substrates with ease. Cephalic arms have broadened somewhat to help with this too; in addition to their usual sensory and manipulation purposes. (somewhat inspired by tree-climbing mudskippers, I really wanted to try drawing prolegs on a “vertebrate”-type animal of a similar lifestyle)

Just a quick update to note that I’ve changed my username, (formerly “evilevilsheep”) across all platforms I’m on.
The last one was fine but ultimately it’s not what I want anymore, so here we go. Content itself should remain the same, hopefully more frequent posts if anything (no promises though)

I’m somewhere beyond the circle (which is fitting because I dislike crowds)

Thank you for the sweet message! 💜

I’m late, but maybe something like “Grabber-maws”, “grapple-maws”, or “grapple-mouths” could suit them?

(repost to fix a typo)
I tried my hand at painting a fictional planet named Ona, where some of my spec evo creatures live (alt text has more introductory details)

I’m pleased with the stylized look 🌌✨

#planetart #spaceart #alienworld #specevo #exoplanet #planet #digitalart #procreate

A first glimpse of Ona. An extrasolar world veiled by dense swirling clouds and tinted blue-green by photosynthetic lifeforms— it has a familiar and inviting aura. However, closer inspection may reveal unique lineages of life that only converge with Terran lifeforms where physics and chemistry demand.

The lesser axial tilt of Ona results in little to no seasonal variation. While this world’s climates are more consistent than many on Earth, they are hardly more tame.
Ona has large and unforgiving ice sheets. The lack of a significant spring-winter cycle turns the northern landscape into a frozen waste, in which few plant and animal analogues can survive. Harsh desert expanses are another result of a less tilted world, pushing life that dwells here to their biological limits. These extreme climate zones reduce overall biomass, but encourage specialization among the species that do live here.

However, Ona is far from truly desolate planet. A haven of bustling teal forests and coppery savannas appear to thrive toward the equator. Ona’s vast blue seas cannot be overlooked either, likely serving as home to even more enigmatic lifeforms than the land can support.

Naming fictional places for world-building projects is great cuz just when you think you’ve found the perfect name, you find out it also means something stupid like “dumpling” in a different language 💀

I never thought about giving dinosaurs a clouded pattern, but it looks absolutely glorious on them— awesome artwork as usual ⭐️

trying to make time for self-care and personal projects be like:

“I’m gonna go walk on the treadmill to get my steps up, but let me also read this paper about needle color variation in conifers while I’m at it”🚶‍♀️‍➡️💭

such a lovely creature; so uncanny but familiar at the same time (I love to see that kind of balance in alien designs)

THANK YOU for saying this, like oml I see it all the time and there are many obvious exceptions to this “rule”.

What you’re describing seems to be a common dilemma for anyone who chooses to make art their business to career. I personally like seeing a variety of artwork, so portraits are cool. But i totally understand why you may post mostly “kidlit-style” to build your portfolio. do whatever works for you 🤷‍♀️

Working on another intelligent alien species, these guys are based off toad-headed lizards, pigs, and abelisaurs.
I just thought mouth hands would be neat.

these guys are cool! I can see the inspirations for sure. Toad-headed lizards are super cool, whenever I see pictures of them I also get inspired to draw funky-mouth animals ✨

thank you! their overall design has changed a tiny bit since this post, but they’re pretty much the same. I’m glad to hear that they’re charming!

also studying plate tectonics and everything influenced by them makes my brain hurt at times,

but it’s all in hopes of giving these critters a more detailed and believable world to dwell on ✨
