Description
Guess what viewer, it is now MY BIRTHDAY!and to celebrate me being another year older, I've decided to draw a fan-art image from a show that i watch roughly ten years ago...
the subject, why less realistic than Jurassic park/world, was still fascinating to me for it allowed the designers to REALLY get creative...
this tv show goes by the name of "Primeval!"
The idea behind this series was there were these "anomalies" which were strange doorways in time to different parts of the earth's world's very long history....
often-times, an episode would feature a creature from some point in prehistory, like a dinosaur, a mammoth, a giant carbonfious insect or even a synapsid.
But since episode 6, the producers of the show had found a way of mixing up the formula (as to not run out of obscure prehistoric animals so fast)
they added in that the "anomalies" not only lead to the distant past, letting in extinct creatures, but can occasionally lead to the distant future, letting in animals the like of which the world has literally not seen.
now whenever the future animals of primeval are brought up, people normally think of the demonic-looking bat-descendant called: "The Future Predator"
But that is not what my favorite creature is...
no, my favorite creature of the future comes SEASON 2 EPISODE 4, when the team is trying to find out what kidnapped a young man named Lucien (and later, one of their own team-members Abby) and what they find, is this creature...
a semi-aquatic marine mammal from some unknown point in the future, with huge canines, forward-facing eyes, large muscular arms and a large set of rear-flippers...
It is called the "Mer Creature" and although at first glance, it looks like a vicious seal, the details that I've explained seem to indicate that is, in fact, a type of marine primate species, one that simply adapted to life in the sea and replaced the seals in their niche.
that is pretty in itself but what is even cooler is the possible place by nick cutter, that they may somehow be a distant descendant of us humans!
if that is the case, then it is third "post-human" species to be used in pop-culture...
(after the Eloi and the Morlocks)
but with all that said, I hope to have a great birthday...
