Day 6: Dickinsonia

Nobody:

Absolutely no one:

The Ediacaran: Flesh plants. Flesh plants! Great wobbling frisbee beasts! Flesh plants—

Digital cel-shaded art of a wibbly wobbly Dickinsonia, a weird wobbly lifeform from before the Cambrian era. It looks like a floppy frisbee with bilateral lines sectioning its body into many gelatinous ribs. It lives underwater surrounded by fleshy ‘plants’, including orange charnia with spots and neon green hylaecullulus. Since I’ve interpreted Dickinsonia as a transparent creature, the other life forms can be fuzzily seen through its body. This little scene is set on an isometric square chunk of sandy seafloor.

There’s a real life version.

Photosynthesizing sea slugs look like a mashup of a garden snail and a kale leaf.
