This is why using references is so important
Picture 1 is without references
Picture 2 is with references (colors are not finished of course. I just wanted to make a rough layout of what I had in mind)
The subject in both drawings is an extinct gorgonopsid named Inostrancevia, and the skeletal I am using in picture 2 is made by Scott Hartman

Evolution of the Crowned Servant (CONTENT WARNING FOR BODY HORROR)

I have worked on some version of the Chronocene for about 4 years now, and I feel one of the best ways to show that is how the design of the Crowned Servant has changed. Originally featuring a more ape-like build, this magically-mutated human now has almost a bear-like posture with fangs, tusks and sails.
(View these from left to right with the left most piece being the original design and the right most piece being the newest)
However also keep in mind that the second to last image is actually only mid-transformation, and the drawing before it is still the current design

In the Chronocene, Exalted magic influences the terrain as much as it does the wildlife. In rare cases, this results in features called “Exalted Eyes” that have an unusually high concentration of magical residue.
These form an appearance similar to eyes in the ground, and as you go further in the terrain and wildlife appear weirder and more alien-like. However this instability also results in more danger the further you walk in.
This diagram labels the different parts of an Exalted Eye along with their danger rating. Keep in mind these Eyes can span hundreds of miles long.

Not every project ends up finished, and it’s always okay to salvage old projects to add to newer ones!
This sketch features “Pyrometrodon”, a mutated strain of Dimetrodon in the Chronocene that has gained fire abilities. Originally featured in an old playing card game I worked on in middle school titled “The Book of Monsters”, this design is much more rooted in real-life physics and proportions while still having an almost “demonic” feel to it.
I have additionally begun to salvage other more organic designs from The Book of Monsters, and I may share those in the future.

In the Chronocene, magic is an interesting component that is as wondrous as it is dangerous. Its most notable feature is its ability to mutate the flora and fauna around it into subspecies (or sometimes entirely new genuses) with certain magical properties. Magic is unstable, so not every mutation benefits the afflicted creature. In fact, sometimes it fills the victim with unimaginable agony as magical residue twists and contorts everything in their body down to a cellular level in ways that humans could never even hope of replicating.
Some stories use magic as a fix-all or as a beautiful tool with no consequences. For better or for worse, The Chronocene is not one of those stories.
Pictured: An adult Pteranodon sternbergi with heat glyphs embedded in its throat. While it may hurt, this mutation would be used as a defense against would-be predators; A human male mid-transformation after selfishly letting himself become consumed by magic; A Triceratops horridus with large growth irregularities in its crest focused on a growth glyph. It seems indifferent to this mutation; An unfortunate evolutionary successor of the Patagotitan caused by decades of exposure to cold glyphs. Despite being able to reach the size of its predecessor, it lives its long life in constant agony
