The Exquisite Beast is an incredible blog.

Artistic partners Evan Dahm and Yuko Ota each post an alien beast once a week, creating an evolutionary lineage descended from the first beast they posted at the beginning of 2012.  I ran across a reblog of one of their beasts months ago, and copy-pasted it for later investigation, but never came back to it until recently.  Now I was planning to reblog some of the best beasts, but there are just too many of them.  I decided to go through every page of the blog and make a list of favorites, which I weeded down to this photoset of ten.  Below are links to each one.

There have been amazing beasts since the beginning, but things really picked up in September.
