FOM: Red Moon & Erabus (WIP 2)

FOM: Red Moon & Erabus (WIP)

FOM: Red Moon (Concept Art)

A long-delayed commission still in progress, but now with something tangible to show at least, the Folly of Man incarnation of Red Moon (and Erabus, pending).

Although this may seem like a radical departure, almost nothing is known of Red Moon's appearance, as the original script gave few details beyond a scary face with one eye, and wings. It's not even known if Red Moon was actually supposed to be red. Erabus fares just a bit better, as she is stated to resemble a tree and a have glos...

FOM: Ebirah (Concept Art)

Coloured sketch of Ebirah. 

Hundreds of millions of years of violent tectonic movements and volcanic upheavals have long fractured the Skull Isle landmass, resulting in the creation of a strange and alien environment known as the chasms, foul caverns where all the rot and runoff from the jungles and mountain highlands spills, and it is this noxious brew that feeds a grotesque menagerie of alien life, a food chain of scavengers from which decomposition and filth form its base. Many ...

Serina: Dwarf Skuggernaut

The last skulossus species thus created (unless someone chooses to sponsor another one), this is the fabled insular pygmy species. I'm sure everyone could've seen that coming from the name on the family tree. That said, it's still quite large, because the landmass it inhabits is no Far Side island, it's the quite large Trang Island, where it is by far the largest endemic beastie.

This here may not look like it, but these are one and the same species, the tall and gracile, fores...

FOM: Maguma (Concept Art)

Maguma was also one of the earlier kaiju designed for the project, drawn back in April of 2018. Funny that Gezora, which was done much later and used the initial design virtually unaltered ended up being one of the most popular concepts in the project yet while Maguma, which had a much longer development process, was just alright. Many Maguma redesigns merely make it a giant pinniped, but that is so dull and also canonically incorrect because Maguma is actually a reptile, so I refused to go f...

Serina: Bowel-Lord Gutsucker

Snarks have diverged into countless different forms, ranging from burrowing worms only a few millimetres long, terrestrial forms waddling upon four tetrapod-like legs, up to vast pelagic hunters larger than a school bus. But perhaps what is most extreme in their ranks are not what they have advanced to, but what they can lose and still function, in an environment unlike that of other lineages. In this manner, the most unusual snarks would undoubtably be considered those of the endoparasitic v...

Gutsucker (WIP)

Crocosaurus

One of the animal designs for the Surviving Dinosaurs project, done back in early 2018. This animal was the apex predator of Australia, usurping the native dinosaurian hunters during the continent's aridification (the title is not its actual name), when their lower metabolisms made surviving on far scanter prey more easy. It's a giant baurusuchian convergently resembling the ancient rauisuchians of the Triassic, including having a facultatively bipedal stance.

Serina: White-Beaked Calacarna

This is the species of calacarna which appears in the background of the Oceans scene chasing the school of escardines. It didn't have a description written yet so it didn't actually appear in the compilation, unlike the kraviathan.

During the hothouse age, the rising sea levels flooded the fringes of the continental shelves, it created a series of warm, shallow seas which now cover many tens of thousands of square miles, but never get below sixty metres in depth, allowing sunl...

Serina: Jumbo Flapray

The most diverse and speciose variety of snark is one which is not often considered, for it is often overlooked or elusive. This is the niche of parasitic snarks, which occur in untold thousands upon thousands of species, accounting for nearly half of all living snark species. This may seem unbelievable, but it has to do with an incredibly fast rate of evolutionary radiation accounting for the evolution and diversification of their hosts; as the host species evolve into multiple species, so t...

Pancake Snark (WIP 2)

Pancake Snark (WIP)

For the record, I wasn't consulted in the creation of this species, but I'm sure no one will be disappointed by the creation of more snark species. And well, there's a lot of parasitic snarks that need to be made anyway...

WWD: Giant of the Skies (Redux)

All of them together now; this is the weirdest episode from a modern perspective consider how poorly the story and the science behind it aged and so quickly. You got the North American Polacanthus re-established as Hoplitosaurus even before the episode aired, Iguanodon as a genus imploding into a dozen other genera, Utahraptor resembling a scaly, enlarged, Ostrom-inspired Deinonychus, giant Ornithocheirus, giant Tapejara, nearly e...

WWD: Scheenstia mantelli

For consistency, there's a fish here also because I included the fish in the last episode and the pterosaurs eat a couple fish in this episode. You may know this fish from when it used to be called Lepidotes and it was always seen being eaten by Baryonyx (which really should have appeared in this episode instead of Utahraptor). 

Although they sort of resembled carp in shape, with round, orb-like teeth designed for crushing hard-shelled molluscs and crusta...

WWD: Sachicasaurus vitae

This is the pliosaur which appeared for eight seconds in the episode as the Ornithocheirus crossed the Atlantic. It's identified in supplementary materials as Plesiopleurodon, but there's just one problem with that: the episode is set in the Early Cretaceous, 127 million years ago, while Plesiopleurodon lived during the Late Cretaceous, 98 million years ago. I assume that they chose that particular taxon because it was considered a close relative of Liopleurodon...
