Fanart for Adrian Tchaikovsky's Children of Ruin 'verse.

Some people still never heard of Children of Time so you should know the plot of the book is a war left earth barren and most humans extinct while different terraforming projects were already underway around the galaxy. Most of these failed horribly in many different ways but some basically Failed Up; for instance an attempt to uplift monkeys fell apart but their planet rapidly evolved a species of large jumping spider with humanlike intelligence.

The first book is mostly from the spider perspective over many generations as we watch their society evolve.

Meanwhile we follow some of the very last humans as they keep coming in and out of hypersleep, looking for a new planet they expect to be unoccupied and ready for them to colonize...

At its core the book is about exploring wildly different ways of thinking and that there's no right or wrong kind of mind, only right or wrong choices. The spiders aren't even beings that experience "love," which in most fiction is used as an indicator of pure evil. But the spiders have concepts of respect, and scientific curiosity, and an inherent importance to living beings, and another human thing they DON'T have is any sense of revulsion for things that are just different.

I accidentally spent 80 hours painting my own take on a Mimic. Please take a look.

Practical effects, puppets and robots at fan conventions are becoming more and more mind boggling, while Hollywood continuously pretends, that they’re “unrealistic” and CGI is the one true way going forwards.
