    There's one thing forgotten!😅
    That is, on the animal features, in order for the animal to have that feature, why does it need it?
    For example, on the Primate example you gave, it has a big build and thick white/transparent fur for camouflage. But as you said, it lives in a cold climate. For an animal to survive in a cold climate, it needs to stay warm, and fur is not enough, it also needs fat. Especially for such a large animal. So instead of being muscular, it needs to be fat.
    Why do ducks have webbed feet? It provides them the ability to explore more places to find more food.
    Why does the Stegosaur have those backplates? So that the blood vessels in those plates can easily be cooled by the cold air and then circulates it when the body gets too warm.

    I recommend a channel called Tierzoo for some great ideas on what abilities animals have.
    For example, humans have high stamina regen, with the “sweat” ability allowing them to catch up to fast moving prey over long distances (as opposed to ambush predators like felines who extend a lot of stamina for a short burst where they must obtain a critical hit).

    I created a cross between a horse and a wolf. I wanted to find the correct balance. I noted how their heads have a similar structure, so I pulled the mouth on the horse way back to where the teeth end, like a dog, and gave it sharp teeth. Instead of loping like an ungulate, the horse sprints in a doglike fashion with legs similar in structure to those of a wolf. Its back curves upward towards the end and it has a long bushy tail which wags instead of a horse tail. At the end of its legs there are paws with very large and sharp claws instead of hooves. Other than that, the creature has the features of a horse in its neck, facial and bone structure other than its spine, and the sounds it makes are some hell-wrought contortion between a howl and a neigh. I'm happy with the outcome and I think it's a nice balance. It helps, if you're doing what I'm doing and creating some strange cross between two unlikely creatures, if you find ones that look alike.

    Very well done. Your animal classification is extremely simplified (Eg, if you ask a taxonomy expert, you'll find that birds are, in fact, reptiles, due to their dinosaur heritage), but it's functional.

    • @theamziss
      @theamziss  5 років тому

      Thankyou! I myself am very fascinated about science, especially evolution. I do want to add, birds are officially classified as birds. But there is also another (less popular) classification model that can be used in which birds and mammals are also reptiles because of their common ancestors. Because this video is focussed on drawing animals, I used the commom classification method that doesn't look at genetics but at fenotype and the way an animal lives :) So a bird can be a bird, but also a reptile. It depends what type of classification you use 😁

    • @globin3477
      @globin3477 5 років тому +1

      @@theamziss
      I don't think there's any accepted classification that places mammals as reptiles. The classification I spoke of makes "reptile" a synonym of "sauropsid", the group of tetrapods that contains all reptiles, dinosaurs, and birds. This is the sister group to the synapsids, of which mammals are the only surviving members.
      Another noteworthy detail is that crocodilians are more closely related to birds than they are to other reptiles, such as lizards.
      That said, while I tend to prefer taxonomical descripions, the conventional systems are entirely functional for most purposes.

  • @nevercallmebyname
    @nevercallmebyname 5 років тому +28

    as usual this information should only be applied to fantasy. Realistically animals on other planets will not fall into the same categories and will have their own bone structures. Alien animals that could be classed as invertebrate would be more common than ones that could be classed as vertebrate and other classes may show up as well such as animals with an internal skeleton but no spine. The adaptations we see on earth would recur but with entirely unexpected results. You would be more likely to find a hoofed salamander-starfish with a unicorn horn than a giant blue horse with antennae. The animal's natural function in the wild would be one we are familiar with. I doubt there are a great many ecological niches that we haven't already seen or that can't at least be compared to a similar one we are familiar with. Usability as well would be the same with the exception of things like symbiotes who's function is either to enhance an ability of the host like an infinite steroid or provide access to an ability the host doesn't naturally possess. Please do not follow advice on fantasy creatures when designing for science fiction. We need more Darwin IVs and fewer Pandoras, Tatooines, Qonoses...

    So, I made a creature recently. It's a 2.5mt tall eart elemental that I had so much fun making. The concept is that they are pretty smart and loyal fellas, and as such kept as exotic pets or used in the military. They have a wooden structure for bones, they lack skin but they have soil for muscles, wich makes grass (aka fur) grow. That grass needs to be shed once a month because it withers and without it, these creatures cannot perform photosynthesis.
    I must say, your video inspired me soooo much! Can't wait to draw more!

    I usually create fantasy creatures literally from the ground up. I will make a quick biosphere and evolve creatures based on what’s available, and the most logical designs to survive in a given environment. Deconstruct the universe, calculate gravity and ground tensile strength, atmospheric density, and whether an organism uses water or ammonia sometimes.
    Close to every part of a creature should serve a function, and remember that not many creatures evolve to be perfect at a certain task. As long as a creature can survive and reproduce, evolution will keep it; maybe add a minute mutation or 2 every generation or so.

    Great stuff! Really simply put with a high level of skill! Comparative anatomy is an extremely helpful tip.

    That classification system is outdated and not based on genetic relatedness but it still works it just im a huge nerd. Crocodilians are more related to birds than other reptiles and fish is a term based on physical characteristics and not relatedness since a goldfish is more related to a horse than it is to a shark. But again this isnt a big deal since its not obvious and most people wont notice.

    While i loved this video as it's imteresting and very helpful with animal concepts and design, you doesn't account for creative mashups of say, mammals and reptiles, or more complicated animals with insects. Perhaps you can make another video explaining these sort of concepts. The Avatar movie's large hexapedal organisms for example, clearly the designers used insectlike features (six legs and some antennaelike appendages) on more complicated and much larger mammalian or reptilian organisms. Thank You for this video!

      I think the point is those kind of mashups are unrealistic, at least not earthlike.
      These reptilian features developed independently of mammalian ones, you could trace it back to a common ancestor but at that point the distinct features that make one a reptile or one a mammal aren't there.
      If you want to break these rules for the sake of fantasy, go ahead, with excuses like being an on an alien planet with a complex different taxonomic system or creatures being explicitly designed by mad scientists or gods, then go ahead. But those creatures won't be believable earthlike creatures and so will fall into the problems presented at the start of the video.

      @@totallycarbon2106 what I meant was not necessarily something that would exist on EARTH, but a completely different type of creature evolved to live on planets with different conditions, oxygen levels, extremely high or low gravity, etc. But thank you for your detailed response!

    great tutorial! really enjoyed it and you can learn a lot fom it.. but the example at the end couldve been a bit more in the fantasy genre just to make the extreme spectrum of posibilities clear. when i saw your example i just thought polar gorilla - which isnt that much of a own design id say, yet still great

    You added an extra part to the horse limb that doesn’t exist on both hind and forelimbs (the first ‘rods’). The forelimb joints in order should be shoulder (ball joint) - elbow (forward bending) - wrist (backward) - knuckle (backward). When you look at the skeleton of a horse it can be misleading since from the side the scapula and hip bones are long and thin and therefore look like limb bones but they are not. The shoulder is mounted at the base of the chest, the scapula is relatively stationary and connects to the spine.
