Whistle Wail inspired by common dolphin

South Scrimshaw caught me right in the middle of a cetacean fixation and I couldn’t be happier. Thank you @/n_o_marsh (twitter) your world building and art style is so inspiring

Aquatic fury concept🐬

Love messing with speculative evolution and I’ll take any excuse to research more on cetaceans lol

me resisting the urge to draw and make speculative worlds with literally any animal i see

iwuhidu7ngwhbnioodgakulvjhdsnm,vkwuyiavbkhj I HAVE SO MANY IDEAS BUT LIKE ATLEAST 30 MINUTES OF ENERGY

Gosh imagine having a computer powerful enough to simulate every cell/DNA in a rabbit's body and also do it billions of times and use that to realistically and rapidly simulate the potential evolution of rabbits in multiple seed world scenarios including multiple scenarios with different co-inhabitants and predators.

I would sell my soul for this.

Imagine a game like spore but you start out in a truly completely empty universe. Nothing but stars and planets. So instead of starting out with panspermia, on your first planet, in your first playthrough you have to play this "chemical stage" to decide the kind of stuff your planet's life will be made of. Then on other planets after that you can choose to do it again to make a completely different life or populate this planet via panspermia using life forms from your first world to see how you can get different things from the same ingredients.

So as you play and replay you can slowly fill up the universe. And maybe you can also have a simulation mode to just let things progress a little ways without you messing with it to see how things progress.

And as you keep playing it can get progressively harder to start life from scratch because now panspermia events happen so often (a toggle able feature) that every planet becomes increasingly competitive as time goes on.

Just an idea.
