Towards the top of the tree there is a salamander creature hanging from a tree. Branching off to the far right past the cow creature is a little flaming squid/slug creature with a yelling mouth and red eyes, can I have a close up of that one?
One thing I noticed is that, if l ask people to choose a creature, that 9 times out of 10 they choose from the upper right. Those were the creatures from my initial test group of college aged people, so naturally their creatures are a little more 'designed' and perhaps more 'interesting' to people than the others. I don't…
Nope, I just figured they would make fun 3-D models (I made a clay/foam model of at least one of the creatures, some are more challenging than others to think of three dimensionally, of course), so anything goes really. In the spirit of how I got the drawings, I was just curious in other peoples interpretations of the…
Very nice! I still need to complete the tree with the newer 400 or so creatures so you guys can pull from that too. There are also these creatures I got from the Richmond Public Library when I left some paper and crayons there for a month for people to doodle with. Some interesting stuff in here that hasn't been utilized…
Not an animation really, I just thought you guys would like to springboard off from the 460 or so creatures and run with it, making some 3-d versions. GIANT version here https://dl.dropbox.com/u/59922961/tyler%20rhodes%20evolution%20phylogenetic%20tree%20full%20size%202011.jpg These are all of the together, and I can get…
I did a new group of kids using one of the turtles at the bottom, and they didn't deviate much for a whole other 6 generations. It seems like once the 'turtle' showed up, it was so recognizable that no one strayed from it much. It is a nice parallel to creatures on Earth though that are 'living fossil' and even after…
That's awesome! I love evolution and xenobiology. I've actually drawn an entire ecosystem comprising of hundreds of creatures for a game I plan to make someday, so this is good practice.
