We had a good thread on this last time, let's do it again
Speculative Evolution/Biology
Kayden Russell
Parker Long
i actually keked, well done user
Anthony Clark
Dude what
Tyler Walker
Here's more.

When "speculative biology" is a codename for "magical realm".
Aaron Lee
It gets better.
You see that weird tongue thing growing out of their chests? That's their 'second head'.
They have two heads, the lower one is for feeding, and the upper 'conventional' head is a genital that can bite (they literally fuck by kissing).

Is this someone's weird fetish? Is this from a book or something? Who Drew these? Why are there such thought out descriptions of these freaks? Why? Are they aliens?
I'm puzzled to say the least.
Logan Anderson
Sergals have a found a challenger.
David Gomez
These are pretty cool though. Speculative Biology is neat when it's not magical realm.
Josiah Turner
>Sergals
What?
Ryan Sanders
Jacob Watson
Shark raptor things that for some reason have prehensile clitorises.
Gabriel Morgan
Reminder that the Qu did nothing wrong.
Kayden King
This is bait.
Andrew Green
t. butthurt Colonial
David Reed
Fucking Qu sympathizers.
Star people master race forever
Bentley Martin
You should be thankful that the Star men weren't driven to extinction, ungrateful ape. The Qu are a benevolent, life-loving race.

>Is this someone's weird fetish? Is this from a book or something
Yes and yes. His book on speculative human evolution would make even /d/ recoil in disgust.
Brayden Jenkins
I'd say the only true /d/ tier stuff in All Tomorrows are the humans that had colossal vaginas where the males entered
Ayden James
They did literally everything wrong
Charles Thompson
I'll post some inspiration.

Henry Lopez
what do you mean by this? I mean it's actual thing, it's real, not speculative.
Grayson Evans
Is it a bad source of inspiration?
Nathan Cruz
further explanation. Polyp is asexual form of medusa, some of them actually move like this.
Colton Ward
fucking great user, weird biology shit is the best thing to draw inspiration from
Aiden Phillips
Then it's even better for this thread. It shows that aspects of simple organisms can be translated to bigger ones.
Btw, it was a hydra on my pic.

And that is the last one for now.
All images are from soviet multi-volume encyclopedia called "The Life of Animals" by Zenkevich. It has a TON of illustrations both in colour and b/w. It's worth viewing just for them even if you don't know Russian language, though the text content is awesome too, especially intro to first volume.
There are six volumes of that encyclopedia. Should I post a link?
Chase Stewart
fucking do
Christopher Garcia
Jack Richardson
Might as well post it now so that no one has to /r/ it later.
Robert Phillips

Josiah Robinson
How about some non magical realm?
Robert Wood
>implying Expedition isn't totally implausible
>implying vertebrates could radiate to such a degree that they magically grow mouths on their feet, have their legs fuse into one leg or evolve jet engines
I like Barlowe as much as the next person but his ideas just wouldn't happen
Nathaniel Wilson
Why was the first thing I thought upon seeing this to check for LOSS?
Jeremiah Allen
Here it is senpai.
Carson Wood
Is there a translated version of this out there?
Logan Robinson
I-is that pubic hair growing out of her "abdomen" and her cunt?
Asher Myers
Evolution in a slightly dimmer world? (Imagine their brightest day is our early morning). Especially plants. Bioluminescence for flora and fauna would be the first thing that comes to mind but it's too energy expensive in an environment that would probably not have as much of it as you would hope.
Would give some more ideas but I'll do that tomorrow since I'm too sleepy to contribute anything meaningful right now.
Adrian Wright
REMOVE QU
REMOVE QU YOU ARE WORST ALIEN
REMOVE QU FROM THE PREMISES
Michael Barnes
Sadly, no. I saw several studies that reused pictures from this encyclopedia, but nothing more. Soviet books are rarely translated, especially scientific ones.
Noah Kelly
Actually I think user was implying only that Barlowe's artwork is unlikely to be driven by sexual fetishes.
Julian Kelly
REMOVE QU
REMOVE ALL WHO DON'T WANT TO REMOVE QU
REMOVE!
[INCOHERENT GRAVITAL WAVELENGTHS]

>subway like vagina
I'm glad the temptors were destroyed.
Daniel Ortiz
Why is it that All Tomorrows are a meme now.
Ryder Ward
Wut

Cameron Russell
Am I the only person who thinks that the Gravital are the best human race?
>able to transform themselves into anything at will
>built a stronger empire than the qu
>could control gravity
>subjugated filthy organics
>actually accomplished something unlike the Asteromorphs
>only fell since they were in a civil war
Mason Morgan
No.
They are objectively the best race.
Hunter King
Are also boring questions allowed?
