Future Animals, by SUKISHA, ZETTAKUN

Well after a bit of work the first group of creatures that I managed to renew is done, most of these are the biggest creatures of the book After Man, by Dougal Dixon, from which I could find measures at least... The changes included from the original sketches major details and proportions, as well coloration. As it is remarkable as well is the size too, since this new version of the new chart will be bigger, at least double its predecessor compared above (The original main size on the chart), I realized that details were lost enough in the scale I was working which was "2 cm=1 m" so I decided to increase it to "4 cm=1 m", giving me a better quality to add detail, but of course with this may come that for good or bad when I finish the new chart this will probably be monstrously giant and heavy in comparison to its predecessor in terms of archive size... Animal species shown here: Nightstalker, Common Rabbuck, Falanx, Giant Raboon, Long-Necked Gigantelope, Vortex, Desert Leaper, Woolly Gigantelope, Distarterops, Gigantelope, Fatsnake, Giantala, Zarander.

The Cheekpuncher (Angulospinus dismembrognata) is a bizarre deep water fish that lives in the darkness of the future oceans dozens of millions of yeas after our era, these evolved an extendable jaw convergent to the dragonfish that allowed them to open their mouth in a way that could engulf prey, however, their jaws would derive considerably in the following million years, causing much of the back of the jaw being the whole low jaw, the premaxillar and the maxillar would become detached from the main body, becoming articulated just at the front and only connected by a thick muscle from the quadrate, eventually making the original mouth atrophied and being no longer useful for food intake, instead it was modified to act as a kind of forceful appendage capable of generating enough force kinetica to break the exoskeleton of prey as arthropods. although it does not already have a functional first jaw, these are still able to consume food thanks to a second jaw that is behind the first one.

Concept of a lineage of derived oligochaeta annelid called the Hoplopictua that colonized a terraformed world filled of different types of fauna and flora, however the conditions of the planet's magnetic field caused the deterioration of the biosphere leaving the worms as the last land animal survivors, after hundreds of millions of years the habitable conditions returned to stable levels enough for the terrestrial organic life to exist, but limited by the constant radiation. From there emerged new ecosystems, more resistant to radiation, but in a fairly small size, being the largest terrestrial creatures no larger than 50 cm in length and dominated by different kind of flora not talled that a human leg, but still extending though thousands of square kilometers. The Hoplopictua are probably the most earth-convergent clade that can be found in this radiated world, having convergently evolved with an arthropod/insect-like form, with a chitin exoskeleton covered with a metallic or reflective coloration which allows them to better withstand the constant radiation, several compound eyes aligned vertically around the front and divided into different segments and with different positions depending of the clade, variable body segmentation, with different number of limbs and immense variety of mouthparts and jaws. There are Flying forms (left) which have fleshy wings derived from cilia and parts of the folds of the segments being not larger than a bee; Long detritivorous forms (Center) with small moutparts similar to feather dusters that allow them to dig into the ground, and some Predatory forms (Right) with long and sharp mouthparts.
