I feel like some kind of future species of sea turtle would have evolved to take advantage of these guys, assuming at least one species survived humanity. In addition, given how rich the seas are with microscopic life, I feel like a species of baleen whale might have also survived and evolved to grow smaller so as to remain both less noticeable and appetizing to humans who use to hunt larger species for their blubber and meat.

Yeah, the reason I haven't added whales or sea turtles is because I think they are too heavily hunted and affected by pollution and such in order to make it into the urban future. But who knows?
But those are some interesting ideas!

What surprises me more is that there isnβt some future species of seagull yet. Despite having βseaβ in their name, Iβm pretty sure at least half of the entire species relies entirely on humans for food by now

Wow, now that's one bleak future.
Though, colonial jellies are very cool.

Yeah, but I'm really happy you liked this one!

Another great biography! The way that it protects itself against predators when it's at the edge of a colony is a nice detail. I really like that you covered a jellyfish, since it's so different from all the other critters you've done. The design is really fun and seems practical for the future!

Thank you so much!
I'm happy you like it! I wanted to make some aquatic animals for this project aswell, and jellyfish seemed perfect candidates.

What other animals do you think you'll cover? Do you have an estimate of about how many urban future creatures you think you'll create (like how the chicken ABCs has a certain number for completion), or would it be more like an ongoing project and you'll keep adding as long as the creative juices flow?Β

Oh, I have plenty of ideas for this project, haha.
This will be an ongoing project that will be added on whenever I feel inspiration and have the time. I find it really enjoyable. ^^

Nice! I guess there's always that saying about how for art, you need motivation, inspiration, and time, but it's rare to have all three! XD I look forward to seeing your ongoing additions for this project!

Haha, that's such a true saying though! XD

It unfortunately is! It would be a glorious day when motivation, inspiration, and time are all present though!Β

Here's hoping for more of those days for both us in the future! They feel beautifully productive and fun!Β
