My SECOND ever artwork on tumblr. Wild

Day 1 is Stargazing, and what better sky to look at than 6319F3 technicolor headspace?

Doughie had A Bit of a time after ovenbreaking out of the Breaven with Biscuit. Mar shows Doughie the wonders of the technicolor sky that dough missed out on in dough [redacted] amount of years!!! Doughie’s still a bit disoriented from saturation, but Mari invites dough for a picnic. All is well in the fabricated world.

Doughie’ll get used to the sky, maybe. Maybe dough can find a new life out here, and dough doesn’t have to be relatively alone in this new world. (Doughie loses all 488 clams of dough own life savings)

Logically, Biscuit is supposed to be here but I don’t want to draw a third person in this image so Biscuit’s checking out the mural that depicts them both as gods and recontemplating bisc own life choices. Truly the most Oho TM guy ever.

Also I was Very smart and i ended up not time managementing. So I only finished like 2 drawings. If i feel like doing the rest, we’ll see.

Alt ver.

Did you know roaches can and will eat anything? And that they have multiple eyes? Did you know that roaches have been around for almost 280 billion years? That many roaches are cannibals? Isn’t it all fascinating?

Instead of starting a whole new speculative biology project like I tend to do, I decided to continue one I already have.  The one I selected is my Pangea Ultima project which speculates life on Earth 250 million years from now when all the continents have reformed into a super continent like they did 250 million years ago.  Where I left off on this project I was exploring the grasslands/plains on Pangea Ultima and in this post I'll showcase the (comparatively) smaller herbivores of this environment.

Plains Loper: Large descendants of crickets reaching 17 in in total body length, the Plains Lopers evolved elongated heads for reaching grasses as the wildebeest and antelope of the distant past have.  Their exoskeletons have become beetle-like to provide some protection from predators but will use their powerful hind legs to escape danger.

Grass Roach: Rivaling the largest roaches of today (at 4 in.), the Grass Roach evolved extra long legs positioned below there bodies to achieve great speeds and coloration that helps them blend in with the grasses that they feed on.

Armadillopod: Giant descendants of isopods (aka pill bugs/roly-polies), these heavily armored scavengers feed on decaying plant matter, roots, and even carcases left behind by predators.  If they feel threatened they will partially submerge themselves in the ground using their hook-like legs and barbed rim of their shells to hold themselves in place leaving only their remarkably durable shells exposed.

Prairie Ashbreather: Filling the ecological niche once filled by long extinct gophers and prairie dogs, the Prairie Ashbreathers dig elaborate tunnels below the grasslands with powerful claws feeding primarily on root systems though they will occasionally snag a Grass Roach if it's able to catch one.

As always, comments and critiques are welcome.
