A New Edition To The Family

As Xenon: takes form, I’m discovering a small but elegantly creative “speculative evolution” and “worldbuilding” communities. They’re intensely creative and often collaborative environments, and there’s just as often a set of standards about authorship. You might even say that these communities have developed System for such endeavors.

One such really incredible world is called Snaiad. It’s remarkable not just because of its creativity, but also because of the extraordinary skill with which it’s been created. The paintings are rendered with amazing texture. Some textures, you recognize from animals you know. Some seem to be vegetable. Some body parts look like you’d expect. Others aren’t at all what they look like.

Enjoy your visit to Snaiad. When you get back, I’ll have some comments about other worldbuilding sites and projects, including my own Europa project from 1998, newly edited.
