A hyper-realistic alien wetland landscape with humans, giant plants, dome houses, and large insect creatures navigating canals.

A distant future Earth one million years after humans appeared in the late Devonian period — a warm, humid world of vast green wetlands and endless canal networks instead of forests. Spore-based plants with thick fern trunks and towering lycopsids have been selectively bred into “timber-ferns” and fleshy spore-fruit groves. Stone and clay canal cities stretch across the coasts, glowing with peat-fire light beneath misty skies. Humans, slightly divergent in form, wear woven bark-fiber clothing and work alongside enormous domesticated arthropods: armored millipedes hauling cargo barges, horseshoe-crab beasts wading through shallow water, and lizard-like reptilian companions near dwellings. The atmosphere feels dense and tropical, full of drifting spores and haze. Smoke pillars rise from controlled fires, maintaining a stable oxygen balance. From above, the continents shimmer with reflective waterways rather than forests — a human-engineered biosphere where every plant and animal shows signs of directed evolution. Cinematic lighting, hyper-realistic detail, sweeping aerial perspective. See more
