Description Some sketches I had made some time ago, being a major part of my main projects.

They are supposed to be the exhibition of groups of theropods, probably of maniraptora origin, in an alien planet terraformed by an ancient interestelar species which colonized the earth during the middle Cretaceous, and seeing the potential of some animal groups for the evolution of sapience, they mobilized these to terraformed planets for the development of their potential. For unknow reasons, this interstate species disappeared, leaving behind dozens of terraformed worlds, some with derived forms from them (the post-aliens, as we have posthumans) After like 70 to 80 m.y., in one of these world, the theropods with the aliens evolved side by side, in an evolutionary race by the domination of the ecological niches. In the end we find a rather unusual hybridization of fauna from two different worlds, being on the one hand the descendants of one of the most successful terrestrial groups, together with the remnants of those who took them to that world.

In the image are shown three scenes, on the left up, a creature of retractile navigator neck is cleaned by small para-birds, creatures that feed on the parasites found in the leathery skin of the body; at the right, a macropredatory theropod just hunted a heavy herbivore form; below, one of the flying alien forms is trying to take a fish-like organisms at the same time that a sea-theropod (Hesperornis like form).

I would try to work with something more deep about these concepts in the future.

Quick question tho...

I have to be honest and say I didn't work so much into how they work internally...

I kinda just meant what do they generally look like, sorry.

Is their blood red or blue, or some other colour.

Really awesome stuff! I’m looking forward to seeing more from this
(Although I was kinda hoping every tetrapod on here would be some weird hyper-derived theropod)

(dont worry, I will have something similar but they would be true descendants of theropods )
