Description just something explaining the evolution of jaws on Chrysaoris and some history of the Polygnaths.

I would appreciate any questions and advice.

very cool. I like how you used an entirely plausible method (not the silly "gills-to-jaws" route someOne - not naming Names here - used)

bravo

Is it undisputed that such information is accurate and shown in the fossil record?

Always curious. ^_^

Nice work.

Well this just an evolutionary plan for my fictional planet Chrysaoris but I did research a lot of our own evolutionary record to help me make these animals more plausible

Those reminds me of the doodles I did during my first year as a biology student ; except that yours are quite vivid, realistic and - I don't know how to say it another way - plainly cool ! I love realistic aliens, and i can appreciate the complexity and realism you are trying to give them.

I'm only taking the time to comment to this one drawing (I'm getting my master's degree now, lots of exams, no time for everything !), but I fav'd a few others of yours and will follow your future productions attentively as your art is very promising

Nice. This looks so alien! This could really be taken in a fascinating direction.

Haha thanks I actually referenced from a biology textbook I got at the thrift store

Keep it up, biological knowledge is a foundation for good alien drawings Plausible aliens are way better than unrealistic aliens.
