Thank you so much for making such a fantastic video featuring our book! Altamira is an incredibly rich and diverse biosphere, it's been super fun to open it up to so many fantastic artists! I hope everyone here will enjoy REFUGIUM in its final form!
Fun fact: Altamira is the name of a city in Pará, Brazil
@@victorrt WHAT?
@@victorrtIt is?
@@SStrawbery yes haha
@@victorrt I was just going to type the same thing lmao
ELEFANTITO LITERALLY MEAN LITTLE ELEPHANT, THIS IS SO CUTE
I’m so excited you covered Altamira!! I’m an artist that gets to take part in this awesome project, I can’t wait for everyone to check this out!! This is the BIGGEST spec evo collab ever
It’s you I’ve seen you 😀
Leeeeeeettttttttttttsssss gggggggooooooo
Can you make a spec evo About my Profile picture. I know is a robot😅 But Make it organic organic. I'm a big fan of your work.
@@Terraformer-17 lol, lmao.
Sup cas3
It was a joy contributing art to this project! Awesome to see an entire video dedicated to it!!
The name came from altamira caves?
I like how the whole "Terraforming an alien planet to make it more suitable for human life" thing is basically one giant metaphor for real-world habitat destruction. Granted, in this case, they're technically just replacing an alien ecosystem with a more Earth-like ecosystem; nevertheless, the parallels are still very much there. There's even the Kicking Wolverton, which was arguably spread to Altamira by accident. If it was accidental, then they'd be a parallel to many invasive species of real-world barnacles, which were inadvertently spread to inland regions when they clung to the bottoms of ships.
It’s even more directly comparable to rats, which humans spread by ships to many regions they weren’t native too, especially islands where they dealt massive devastation.
That's not what the metaphor is at all bro
@@jelqsensei Then share what it is instead of just going "you're wrong", "bro". Unless you're just BS:ing, of course?
@@mokarokas-1727 you never read the bible heathen? the parallel they're going for is pretty obvious
Just think of Australia.
I'm in Europe, but I get anxiety sometimes thinking about how Australia's biosphere has been permanently altered, with the addition of so many placental mammals, that will likely never leave (foxes, rabbits, CATS, dingoes, horses, camels, deer, cattle, banteng, buffalo).
I love how so many spec bio creators like Koseman and Ries got together for this, filling in not just the artwork, but the biological info too. What a team!
Can't wait to visit there! Pack your bags everyone, tickets are on me!
Thanks man
THANKS!!!😂
yayayay
Thanks for the tickets dude!
I'll take you up on that sir! or mama!
I love the cameos from other spec evolution artists in this project!
This looks so cool! The blend of terraformed and not terraformed is always an interesting take!
Stuff like this brings me back to the good old days, reading Heavy Metal and finding articles in the 'Galactic Geographic' docu-fiction by Karl Kofoed.
The art and the way it was written like a scientific paper was such a joy!
You ever read fiction from the "Battletech" setting?
Heck yeah, more spec evo content
İ did kinda miss it too, the philosophy vids are still good but i like these because they don't make me have an existencial crisis
Fuck! And I just beat my addiction to supporting amazing spec evo projects! Damn you CA! Damn you!
I'm so in love with Pinwheels!!!! Absolutely the best insect-parallel i've seen in spec evo works!
Ikr, I wanna get a board and stat collecting those lil guys.
I saw Jay Eaton's research in their blog but didn't expect you to cover this project so fast! Great video, thank you for bringing more speculative biology to us
05:38
“He's a real nowhere man
Sitting in his nowhere land
Making all his nowhere plans for nobody”
Makes me think of "what if" sun spiders in Oregon, neat! I love the pinwheel designs especially!
Curious Archive, Subscribed because your videos always make me smile!
Thanks
This is SO cool, the Avengers of spec evo artists all together on a wonderful book, thanks for covering it man !
Ah yes, canon of my Stellaris playtroughs.
I loved this world and its lifeforms! I had seen some of the artist share their work on it on instagram a couple days ago, it was fun to see them portrayed here as researchers and experts!
Yes!!! Love seeing Simon Roy featured on this channel. Been a huge fan of his specevo work since coming across his dinosauroids design project years ago.
These videos where you cover some spec-evo or world-building project are my favorites.
Yes! More spec xeno and spec Evo!
Congratulations CA on being the first CZcams channel I’ve actually turned on notifications for. I need my curiosity fix!!
Man, how sick would a video covering Eaton's Runaway To The Stars project be~!? That work of theirs is such a delight, being more slice-of-life than just some grand, galactic epic.
Alex Reis! Jay Eaton! Simon Roy!
This project is PACKED
Yes
Yes
Yes
Yes
Yes
Yes
11:44 the badger is so very cuuuute
It's incredible that all of my goats come together for this project 🐐🔥
Ngl i wish we got hour long vids in this channel, i would sit my ass down in heartbeat and watch em fully when they come out, the current short ones are great still, love em
Life is horriflyingly and disgustingly beautiful
Could you please make a video on the ecosystems of Dathomir
This looks like South scrimshaw. Haven't watched yet but I'm always happy when I see one of your videos cover a project
I want more of this type of spec evo related video's, please, explore more projects, its really motivating and also fun to watch.😅 And thank you for this entry in archive....
The wait for your videos is always worth it , keep it up man
Absolutely amazing, the fauna are all so beautifully drawn and realistic, truly think this is one of my favorite worlds yet.
Your videos are always such a treat👍
This is my favourite CZcams channel / independent media.
Welcome to planet Altamira! They can smell your fear
More spec evo, my favorite subgenre
I've been thoroughly enjoying your recent video essays, but it's always nice to see a return to your roots, Archivist!
*finally*, something to do that isn't scrolling
Fr, i stopped watching shorts just yesterday, and only watching long videos, to cure my brain, i feel much better already, next step is just cutting out social media all together.
Omg u have no idea
Your the first person I watch after I beat cancer!!!
I've loved your recent content but I can't understate how happy I am to see another world building deep dive video!
this is my favorite kind of curious archive video, in depth information on a speculative ecosystem, more of this sort of thing please
Love the references to the authors and their other spec evo projects! This looks like an amazing spec evo project and definitely a book I would read!
i love how all the artists get their own in universe rpg roles
I love this style of video where you document the flora/fauna if a functional world from the perspective of someone in the world. I loved your subnautica videos and this one is great, keep up the good work!
I AM SO HAPPY YOU RETURNED TO THE OLD FORMAT!
Wow, this felt like the Super Smash Bros of spec bio creators!!! It is very cool to see so many artists working in such a unique and expansive project; congratulations for all the wonderful work everyone did, including Curious Archive for sharing it with us ^^
This is awesome man, keep up the great work
this is just what i needed! THANK YOU!!
This is so lovingly made! I love that it takes itself seriously at just the right moments to really sell the buy-in. I can't wait for this project to come out!!
Always a great time seeing coverage of these incredible speculative evolution books
Please do more videos like this I really enjoy them
As much as I love your more theoretical videos, it’s awesome to see you getting back into alien/creature biology!
I really like the alien designs. They don't feel too earth-like but also not too alien.
I am so happy you did this! Simon is a wonderful guy and such a creative powerhouse his world building is just brilliant ! this made my night! 😄
Awesome vid man!
Love your channel
love your stuff, thank you for the entry
Instant classic, thank you
this upload just made my whole week ❤️
It's just fascinating how people are coming up with awsome speculative biology that leaves your heads scratching.
This has to be one of the most diverse and impressive speculative-biology projects yet.
I can't express how much I love this setting! 💚
Great video!
Mr archive, thank you for making videos
i think you should make a video about Runaway to the Stars. the setting is super fascinating, and now that Jay has started publicly releasing their comic, it would be perfect time :D
Fascinating insight into a terraformed planet
Yay, Jay Eaton mentioned! I'm still waiting for the day you cover their setting, Runaway to the Stars. Not only does it have really interesting posthuman designs, it also has a number of nonhuman sentient aliens with complex history and biology all interacting with one another, which I think would be very interesting to see-- considering most projects covered so far only have one sentient alien species.
I’m so excited to see another SpecZoo project in the channel!!! ❤️❤️❤️
This one is loaded with top notch artwork.
glad to see these classic speculative biology vids return!
"Snaiad University" 😂
Snaiad is the name of another worldbuilding project, by C.M. Köseman, the same guy from 'Snaiad University'
@@JaxonHumphrey-lw1gs Yes, I am aware. I enjoyed the way the reference was put together, is all.
Keep up the good work
you know it is going to be a good day when you post a vid !!!!!!!!
so happy that i recognized a lot of these artists!!
New curious archive video 🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥
Your videos are such a blessing. One day I am going to make my own world of speculative evolution, inspired by watching this channel.
These fellas feel pretty fresh! Excellent stuff.
I love that Köseman is from 'Snaiad University' a great refrence. :)Love your vids man.
Your other work is interesting, but this video stands out to me being so fast-paced compared to your others. I like it a lot. I hope you do more like it. love your work CA!
i love to find more of Alex rise's work :]
I backed this on kickstarter and I can't wait to read it!
The intro is fantastic.
"They _would_ be frightening.. if they were more than a few centimeters long."
As someone with a generalized phobia of arthropods: That won't stop my fight or flight response from kicking in.
More curious archive! motivation once more!
Altamira sounds amazing!
The goat is back
Your vid are literally my inspiration ó//ò
Wow :O, I really love this kind of video. Biology is so cool :D
this makes me realise just how distinctive ries' artstyle is
Good video
Awesome video as always! Are you planning on doing a video on Stray possibly?
Another great video I will watch twice and like twice and comment twice.
Yo those are the legitimate best bug analogies ive EVER seen for a scifi project. Like theyre common enough looking that you can point one out and go "look a pinwheel" just like bugs BUT, they arent just like small animals or juat bugs again, they have a distinctly alien feel to them. And then you see the SPIRAL THORN QUEEN, and i was just flabbergasted at how creative and visually striking it was at the same time without lessening either. Madly impressive stuff here.
omg this is so beautiful!
Love these speculative zoology videos.
P.S. you should make a video breaking down some fan made monster concepts for Monster Hunter. Would be interesting to hear your on them.
Hell yeah! Back to the alien, spec Evo videos!
YOUR VIDEOS ARE THE BEST😊
omg i got so excited when i heard one of my favourite artists Jay Eaton mentioned! i love their work so much it’s what got me interested in speculative biology and such
