Description Well, during these months before having restarted TFIF I had already made several concepts and ideas, which I had not published due to demotivation to paint, a dislike for the drawing or simply lack of time or force to finish them, and now that I will be working with completely new content these sketches or illustrations labeled as "TFIF concept" aren't not more part of the TFIF canon, although the idea of these can be or are canonical in a way.

The sketches above dealt with an idea for one of the first ecosystem that would follow after the end of the phanerozoic, entering the new eon, the Akrozoic, around 700 million years in the future, in a very changed Earth recovering from the great and destructive mass extinction event that had left almost the entire biosphere in a stagnation state for tens of millions of years, plant life was devastated for more than 150 million years by the reduction of atmospheric CO2 amounts and added to the global desertification, left the majority of groups of terrestrial plants to extinction, with few number of species that thrived with the remaining CO2. In the vacuum caused by the fall of the plant kingdom, some of the other groups of autotrophs as well soil dwellers began to thrive in the most isolated continents with the lack of competition, some extending and becoming the main base for new ecosystems, in particular this great amalgam of irregular flora that covers in large mounds the deltas of rivers, the Lichen Reef.

Composed of three different layers of lichens, those that decompose the soil matter (of foamy and granulated appearance), those that consume organic remains, and those that depend entirely on photosynthesis (Scaly crustaceans), result in the whole the most complete ecosystem and complex that exists in the devastated earth.
Among them the little existing fauna make up the major dominant animals, including the distant descendants of birds, the tardiavids, which became the most cosmopolitan vertebrate during this time and some forms of insects, including predatory neotenic "caterpillars", as well large fliers.

OMG! I thought of something pretty much identical. I had all the ideas and animals planned out and now this is uploaded, wow.
