Here's an example, a good one!<br /><br />Since last year I'm searching images (and the Artist behind that, firstly) that aren't the same: all different but with only 1 idea, the alien life is a simple "collage" of animal earth wildlife...<br /><br />My best compliments, for your art and expecially for your brain, it's not usual to see fiction and science at the same level!<br /><br />I'd like, moreover, to share with you my passion for "alien" lives hidden in our millions of years ago and so I'd be happy if you take a glimpse at them... (please no dinos) on my own I'm slowly building a scientific site of our very very far in the time of the primitive form of life. I think you could be interested as in Australia has been discovered a great piece of our forgotten life science era.<br /><br />Have a good time from Italy<br />EzioAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7733783789460787377.post-59976044373491894952009-01-03T12:17:00.000-08:002009-01-03T12:17:00.000-08:00If I were to suggest any changes, I think I'd agre...If I were to suggest any changes, I think I'd agree with Stig about some sort of suction-filtration system. <BR/><BR/>Maybe a lung-like structure at the back of the crop to draw water in, in tandem with the rapid opening of the membrane. That would require more muscle and thus a higher metabolism, but if there's enough of a consistent food source (say, if SS's only feed in earnest at dawn and dusk like on Earth) I think it could work.<BR/><BR/>Here's a better idea: a pair of curved ridges along the sides of the main body to guide water down and into the crop. This would reduce the creature's mobility to some extent, so maybe they're more flexible and fold up when it closes its "mouth" to get around.<BR/><BR/>Cheers dude, excellent work.Kevin Bannisterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11460658748377775542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7733783789460787377.post-18127018891000339622009-01-03T11:55:00.000-08:002009-01-03T11:55:00.000-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Kevin Bannisterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11460658748377775542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7733783789460787377.post-88670076798756005542007-12-26T11:04:00.000-08:002007-12-26T11:04:00.000-08:00the design is amazing!

I like the glow of the fin though am not sure if it is an inherent glow or if it is the reflection from water. <BR/><BR/>There are some fish I have seen (though I don't have a good image) where they have markings that glow in the dark. I'm not sure if this will add or take away from the design but it may make the glow stand out. <BR/><BR/>Lovely work and I hope my creature designs can someday be as beautiful, and realistic as yours!<BR/><BR/>(glowing fish)<BR/>http://images.google.com/images?svnum=10&um=1&hl=en&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&q=fish+glowing&btnG=Search+ImagesMoon Wanghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08307156881604399520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7733783789460787377.post-53178991460957215652007-08-02T16:35:00.000-07:002007-08-02T16:35:00.000-07:00AWESOME!!!

A bit like some carnivorous pond plants do, or those odd-looking muppet-like predatory tunicates (Megalodicopia hians).

Also welcome to Blogger.com ;-) I hope you will have the time and enough fun to post some more exozoology deveopments here :-)<BR/>The idea of the Swordswallower is realy great especial you choused to use a evolutionary relation to snails and octopy. First I thought the swordswallower is an animal as smale as a finger, but after read of the informations you gave its incredible big thing. Sadly I did't come up with a similar idea for my worlds oceans.. it would be a nice thing there, but sure I can't stole youre idea, but maybe it will push my creative thoughts a bit.<BR/><BR/>see you on devianArt<BR/>_RosE_ from Black Tower of Time_RosE_ from Black Tower of Timehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03163492978494826027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7733783789460787377.post-71306542672204608892007-02-18T10:48:00.000-08:002007-02-18T10:48:00.000-08:00hi.The Swordswallower is a very ingenious designwo...hi.<BR/>The Swordswallower is a very ingenious designwork. My congratulations.<BR/><BR/>I would not worry too much about the Swordswallower not being able to get every single bit of floating foodstuff, nor it being able to turn quickly -- if our ocean is any example, not everything can turn on a dime (or on a car), and I'd think that even whales miss some plankton when they eat.<BR/><BR/>have nice days.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
