Distant Skies Arranged by Shotaro Shima
more progress but documented this time!
So, these are what I will describe as insects even though they evolved separately! If anyone remembers my old foundational clade chart, these are part of clade D1A and D1B (I think)!
here are their working names (I am nooot good at nomenclature lol)
A: Polyterapoda- this is slightly under clade d1a (I think), but I also use it to refer to modern descendants who keep the same body plan.
B: Haemoclepid- a branch of Polyterapoda which evolved to suck fluids out of the stelatmosids (fungal photosynthesizing organisms), and I also believe under this clade would be stick-bug-y dudes. I'm not modeling them though im too lazy.
C: Unnamed- Under Haemoclepidia, these were pillar reef hunters but quickly expanded to trees and bushes during the last biotic interchange. They do not spin webs even though that would be very cool.
D: unnamed- also under haemoclepidia, these are more similar to termites or ants, with enormous hives. Their hives tend to be in roots, ring pillar reefs, or helix pillar reefs but are not exclusive to these locations. Importantly, they pick things up with their hind legs!
1: Kentauratera- This is slightly under clade d1b (probably), and almost all offshoots have gone extinct as of the mid convergic ice age (~320 mya). Remaining clades with the original body plan are uncommon and tend to eat eggs and larvae.
2: Platohasta- under Kentauratera, Platohastans are the only surviving terrestrial insects from clade d1b other than the aformentioned clade of egg eaters. Despite their appearance they are quick and vicious.
Also! I should have mentioned earlier but these are very rough models just to help me keep track of things, in reality they have much much more complex structure.
I just wondering.. What logical do you use ? And have you old sketch in your artbook (if you have one) you can saw them to us ? (Sorry for my bad English qwq) and i hope you having a great day ^^ !
I'm so sorry, I'm not sure what your first question means... If you mean tablet, I use a xp-pen 24 pro, and if you mean what program, I use paint tool sai. Sorry! 🙏
I checked what little I have left of my old sketchbooks and most of it is from an old original story/webcomic of mine called Distant Skies. It was about a crazy reptilian alien commander falling in love with a pilot from an enemy planet who happens to be terrified of him and his entire species. I'll spare you the terrible comic pages because they were pretty bad, but I'll dump some old sketches.
Please be aware that these are from a decade ago! 😂
Oh and the lizard-man's name is Korona... *sniffle* I loved that name so much, but now no one would ever be able to take it seriously. 😢
You may recognize the name "Locus" from The Last Irken lmao
My goal with him was to give him the largest creepiest eyes I possibly could.
Aura is the third main character. He happens to be mutual friends with both Korona and Locus and finds the situation they're in absolutely hilarious.
I didn't think I had any digital art left from this series because I lost most of it in a huge computer crash, but I have a few left
(The girl is Lia and she is Locus' friend and crush)
I loved them a lot, but I haven't really thought about them in years. I should try to redraw them someday
Anyway sorry this post is kind of long! Thank you for your ask, and I hope you have a great day too!

Mmmm I definitely skipped a few posts between my last post and this one but here are the stelatmosids or as I like to call them, the pillar reefs.
They take thousands of years to grow that large, and small ecosystems develop around the largest types.
Also their introduction to chlorophyllites leads to a 40 million year long ice age and the extinction of most types of pillar reef. As well as 70 to 80% of all other life. Oops!
Where were we?
I honestly cannot remember, I have finished my spec evo up till the modern age! Since then, I've been working on schoolwork (and some mapmaking in my free time) Here is the current state of my wip global map
[Image ID: A stylized topographic map of a planet. There are 4 continents. 2 continents are on the west side of the map connected by a thin bridge of land and separated by a sea similar to the Mediterranean. The upper of these 2 continents briefly touches the north pole of the planet. Both continents are fairly mountainous, with most mountains on the left sides. The eastern 2 continents are separated by a more substantial sea, and have many islands/mountains on the eastern sides. Between the 2 groups of continents are oceans scattered with islands. /end image ID] ive still gotta get the finer details put into the sea floor and fix some distortion errors on the continents! Pretty soon I'll be working on climate though! In the meantime, here is a map on the northeast continent of some of the earliest city states.
[Image ID: a topographical map of roughly 200x300 kilometers. A canyon elevated on a plateau extends from the upper left to lower right. The plateau is split in 2 at the center. There are 3 labelled points which are all on the lower half of the plateau. Each one is roughly 80 to 100 kilometers apart. The divide snakes through the plateau, such that all labelled points border the divide but range up and down the illustration by dozens of kilometers. /end image ID] Point 1 (northernmost point on a protruding part of the lower plateau) is not truely a nation state, it is a pilgramage city and monastery stronghold. Point 2 (bordering the bottom of the image at one of the turning points of the divide) is a mid-way settlement between point 1 and 3. It is ruled by a lower King of the region and a political extension of point 3. Point 3 is the main city, with a population of almost 40,000 people. The city is currently ruled by a young warrior queen and an important political seat in the lower Bibi valley. (Bibi is the general regional word for the area).
Hello everyone i am very satisfied with my most recent arts and also I remembered I should post things so people know what Im up to!
