be careful promoting unverified fundraisers! happilygeneralhideout/janet cheptoo is a documented scammer profiting off of the genocide by copying a paragraph of nisreen shaheen’s gofundme https://gofund.me/223a4c96

they’ve been running this scam for months now, every time they are terminated they just make a new blog and spam send the exact same ask, and every time their PayPal account is reported they make a new one under a new name. you can use the tumblr search bar to search their previous names “purity sikuku” or “mercy jerop” or “dennis ochieng”

thank you for telling me, ill be more careful from this time onwards, how can I be sure if a plea is verified or not?

MAYA 1b:

Updated Perissopod Body Plans

Here are the new ones

MAYA 1b:

Vs the old ones

MAYA 1b:

The old ones looked a bit samey not really justifying why I was calling them "classes" so I decided to make the body plans of each class more distinct

Since they come from a squid-like ancestor with a radially symmetric body I've made it so that you can gradually see it transition to being more bilateral

Also a few changes to their general anatomy but I'll post updated ref sheets some time later

Some concepts of "trees"on Maya1b

Some Concepts Of "trees"on Maya1b

Essentially, all "trees" on this world are structures formed by symbiotic association between algae and a mass of colonial organisms, which has the added benefit of giving them a lot of these "plants" (especially smaller ones) nifty mixotrophic mode of nutrition, a trait pretty beneficial in the ever changing climate of this world

In essence this means, if things get really tough, the "plants" may in fact start becoming mobile and actively start hunting animals, blurring the lines between what constitutes a plant or not

How much of this behavior a plant shows varies from time to time & species to species

Oh this is how they're coloured btw

Some Concepts Of "trees"on Maya1b

There's also a whole other story about their reproduction which is modelled after cnidarians and mosses buuuut thats a story for another time

MAYA 1b:

The Planet

 MAYA 1b:

The planet that the aliens in this project inhabit is an Uncapped Cryoplanet, it could be understood as an inversion of Earth, a Capped Aquaplanet ie ice on its poles and oceans in the middle

Therefore an Uncapped Cryoplanet has ice along it's equator and frost free oceans & "jungles" at the poles

Such an arrangement is a result of mainly 3 things:

Obliquity: Beyond 54° of axial tilt, the poles receive greater solar input than the equators, Maya 1b has an axial tilt of 70°, such a extreme tilt leads to the formation of permanent ice sheets around the equator

Rotation Rate: The planets rotates slightly faster than Earth (average day around ~ 20 hrs) , which causes a more oblong shape, with higher elevations at the equator and the poles closer to the crust

Continents: The continental arrangement is such that multiple long mountain chains exist along the equator further leading to ice formation

All these things combined together give rise to the odd arrangement of this world

The planet also has much higher eccentricity than Earth, which gives it a more elliptical orbit, that combined with the high axial tilt leads to some extreme seasonal variation across the year

Given the geography of Maya 1b, sophont groups from both Perissopodithera & Artiopodithera evolved separately and independent of one another, each pole is it's own unique biosphere, for long, each pole wasn't even aware of the other's existence and the unique life that it hosted but that would change soon when two brothers venture out from the North Pole to the South, changing the course of history and initiating contact between the two biospheres & their inhabitants......for better or worse

Some updates to the designs would be coming up next

(sigh it's been like a couple of days since I started uploading and have redesigns already lol)

I'll start building the cultures of the Sophonts after I get all of their new designs down
