So, you got any more notes on Scalebug biology? I find them fairly interesting.
Sure! I’ve changed some things about them since I last posted anything about them here. (You can see more of the workshopping process and other species on my patreon). One of the main things has been in their overall bauplan, in which the core body is now very small and much of the organ mass is distributed across their 12 appendages (one antenna at each end, ten legs). Scaley-winged species still exist, but I think the single-feather-wing forms as shown in the sketch are a more diverse and successful family. In many crawling species, the flexibility is limited mostly to lateral movement, similar to brittle stars. A thin but tough bristle or rod supports the core of each appendage.
Also, to avoid confusion with real life scale insects from earth, I’ve started calling these creatures “leglings” instead. They are not as diverse as insects due to competition with motile feathervanes. In terms of niche, a majority are detritivores, a most of the others are predators of othe leglings, or have some kind of symbiosis with a feathervane.

Do you have a ballpark estimate of when the 6th volume of Almost Real (+ the omnibus of the previous 5) will come out? I’m a big fan of both you and Jay.
I wish I did! I know the kickstarter should launch by the end of this month, no doubt there will be more info about the expected release dates by then.
A trio of characters from my weird dragon setting. If I ever make an rpg out of it, these guys would be the core party, united by the power of Group Project. I can’t quite call them original characters, since each is based on characters my friends made for a pilot session I ran in the setting. Ifemi is the unofficial leader, since the crux of the adventure (a survey of dragon meta-lairs) was her thesis proposal. She’s highly motivated and studious, if a bit over-invested in her favorite anime series. Leet was hand-picked by Ifemi for their experience with breaking into the cyberspace of runescribing monitors (magic computers), which has some practical application to entering and navigating dragon lairs. Matthias wants to be a Lone Warrior, but got tacked into the group by his grandfather, who is an actual dragon/notorious public benefactor that thought this would be a terrific character building experience for the lad.
I’m affectionately calling them the Cringe Crew
Some more character info down here:
Matthias is the literal golden child of the Delmar family, a dynasty of wealthy merchants in the seaside city of Kadromy. As part of a centuries-old ritual tying the wealth of the Delmar bloodline to the the intellectual wealth of Kadromy’s famous magic university, Matthias father was sired by the city’s resident dragon and university benefactor Saargasto the Nacreous. As a quarter gold-dragon, Matthias has a natural affinity to magic; the real challenge is learning to harness and control it, as his casting tends to be as explosive as his temper. He hates the rigid expectations of both school and his family, and in general just wants to cut his own path and be the cool mysterious guy in the corner of the tavern. Currently being forced to participate in a group project that he didn’t even come up with, which grates on him even more.
xXx_L33T_HAXXOR_xXx is the forum handle of an otherwise nameless young dwarf attending Kadromy University. They go by a number of nicknames, including Leet, Haxx, Nobody, and Jerma. The World Wide Weave is a dangerous place, as Leet learned the hard way in childhood after losing their true name and identity to fey mischief and a corrupted link. Their whole past had to be wiped to save them from being cursed for life, and rather than choose a new, normal name, Leet opted to just embrace anonymity. Dwarves in this setting are master builders of runescribing monitors (basically magic computers), so Leet has more experience with these powerful engines of conjuring and communication than most. Despite being quiet and secretive, Leet enjoys some infamy for their side hustle in pirated spell scrolls and fairy goods. Stuck in a group project with two insane people.
Ifemi Sowande is a bright young wizard-in-training at KMU (Kadromy Magical University), with a focus on sub-planar ecology, though she’s also adept in the fields of conjuration and evocation. She credits her tenacious approach to life to her fictional role model, Ajitama the ninja. Ifemi’s spellcasting technique is unorthodox, citing “styles of ninjutsu” and “the chi point system” as her primary methodology. Many find her personality odd and overbearing, but she has a heart of gold and will go out of her way to help classmates. Her extracurricular activities include parkour, kendo, jūjutsu, and being an active member of the school otaku club. Unfortunately, college is expensive even in in this fantastical realm, and Ifemi has contracted her fair share of curses trying to rip spell scrolls and unofficial manga translations off the www (world wide weave). She actually meets and befriends Leet after they start corresponding on a cyber-curse help forum and figure out they share a class.

Very un-serious comic I did a few weeks ago feat. Ahab the wretched fish-creature meeting a klabautermann, or ship’s kobold. Folklore on them varies, but at least one source claims that offering any items of clothing to a naked one is very offensive! Ahab can expect a lot of loose ropes, vandalized belongings, and inexplicable falling objects in the next few weeks..
The spec bio anthology series is BACK with its sixth volume all about POP CULTURE, and a REMASTERED HARDBACK COLLECTION of Volumes 1–5!
ALMOST REAL: A Speculative Biology Zine returns with the ALL-NEW VOLUME 6 and a remastered collection of VOLUMES 1-5!
Back in the mid 2010s, illustrator and Runaway to the Stars creator Jay Eaton incepted the idea of hosting a speculative biology anthology: a small magazine collecting uniquely-made entries from pool of fellow artists and authors who loved all the possibility and creativity that the world of spec bio had to offer. Together with Hye Mardikian, their idea and collaboration brought forth ALMOST REAL: A SPECULATIVE BIOLOGY ZINE's first volume all the way back in 2017.
In 2018, we took to the skies with our second volume FLIGHT. Volume 3 took you under the waves with AQUATICS, Volume 4 introduced all sorts of inventions from BIOTECHNOLOGY, and legends came to life in from Volume 5's MYTHOLOGY.
Now, in 2026, we RETURN: featuring our sixth volume with 12 new entries all about POP CULTURE and a remastered omnibus of BOOK 1 that collects all 5 of our previous, some out-of-print issues, and we need YOUR HELP to print these books and pay our artists!

You can ignore this if you want—are you planning on exploring or developing your other alien sophonts, like the monoculi and swimslugs, in the future, or are you fully committed to birgs?
Worldbuilding for me is sort of a feedback loop: the more lore I have already established, the more conceptual launch points I have to build new ideas around. It took me years to reach that point with birgs, and swimslugs and monoculi just haven’t cleared that barrier yet. That said, I will no doubt revisit them when inspiration strikes; there’s plenty of ideas in the vault that I just haven’t gotten around to illustrating.
But yeah, I want hyperborea to at least feel as big and complex as earth, and I still sometimes think I’ve bit off more than I can chew by limiting the focus to two continents instead of one. I just don’t think I have the bandwidth to give that kind of scope to three entire species.
Rather odd question, but are there any sort of color or pattern "rules" with birgs? I know that sopme populations have their own internal rules (Twowi are bluish with a white blaze, some were dark with white spots, some had specific beard and mustache patterns) but what are some sort of wide reaching rules? What's the color palette range, are their any distinct or often shared markings?
Birgs vary quite a lot by ethnicity, but there are some commonalities across broad regions. For example, in populations endemic to the southern hemisphere (bottom 3 rows), you will find that dark patches around the chelicerae, eyes, and spiracles are common; virtually the opposite of the white facial markings found in most north hemisphere populations. Note also the greenish color present in some southerners, it is a natural pigment found in hyperborean fauna but rarely seen in birgs north of the equator. Twowic peoples are sort of oddballs not just for their blue-ish integument but that their patterns can also be distinctly asymmetrical. For your convenience, I mocked up this chart showing some sample body color/pattern combos by ethnic group. These are by no means the full spread of birg diversity, and there’s plenty of mixing and matching of traits in areas where different populations meet, but this should give the gist of it.
