Snaiad is a speculative evolution, science fiction and artistic worldbuilding project by Turkish artist C. M. Kosemen, focused on a fictional exoplanet of the same name. Begun in the early 2000s and inspired by earlier works such as Wayne Barlowe's 1990 book Expedition, Kosemen has produced hundreds of paintings and sketches of creatures of Snaiad, with detailed ecological roles and taxonomic relationships to each other. The sheer number of invented creatures and lineages makes Snaiad one of the most biologically diverse fictional worlds.

  • Snaiad is a speculative evolution, science fiction and artistic worldbuilding project by Turkish artist C. M. Kosemen, focused on a fictional exoplanet of the same name. Begun in the early 2000s and inspired by earlier works such as Wayne Barlowe's 1990 book Expedition, Kosemen has produced hundreds of paintings and sketches of creatures of Snaiad, with detailed ecological roles and taxonomic relationships to each other. The sheer number of invented creatures and lineages makes Snaiad one of the most biologically diverse fictional worlds. Since Snaiad artwork was first published by Kosemen online, the project has garnered a following and international attention, especially online. Fans of Snaiad have produced fan art, not only of Kosemen's own creatures but also of their own imagined Snaiadi creatures, consistent with the biological principles followed by the rest of the project's lifeforms. Kosemen hopes to eventually publish the project in book form. (en)
