Atlantis Bestiary 3 Collection

A series of designs I created as part of the Atlantis Bestiary 2 speculative evolution community project in the Paleostream discord, ran by Joschua Knuppe. Each animal has a scientifically sound ancestor created in Phase 2, which took place in the latest Miocene, and given roughly seven million years to diversify and evolve until the Pleistocene for Phase 3. Atlantis is a Madagascar sized island located on the mid Atlantic ridge that has been colonized by North American and European and African genera and left to evolve. The purpose of the competition is to explore evolution and biology in a speculative thought experiment to create lifelike forms that could have existed in this world were it real. All illustrations were made in Adobe Photoshop.
