Thank you very much for all these "I'm a pioneer"s on this little contest idea I had lately. That's are already many more than I have hoped for.
So here a few thoughts, rules, guidelines.
Nea is inhabited for only 300 years by larger animals and complex plants so the creatures can't be that different from terrestrial ancestors
only by natural selection and genetic/epigenetic engineering is only allowed to a minor extent.
Nea is a pretty dry planet with less oxygen than Earth (15-16%) and gravity is little bit lower (0,9 g)
If you want you can use this map to show the distribution of your species:
You can submit as many pictures as you want
There should be at least a little description but please not just literature
Species can come from Mars too but remember that most tetrapods which are used to the low gravity of Mars wouldn't survive on Nea for long.
You can submit to the contest by making my icon appear in the description or by linking to it in a comment under this journal.
So, I think that's everything... maybe I will write a bit more about it later but for now:
MAY THE CREATIVE MADNESS BEGIN!

Edit: Ok, already an entry! I think it would be good if I collect the pictures here, also to minimize the risk of having 10 versions of one idea!
Edit II: Wow, you guys are killing it! There are already so many (more than 30!) entries and I know that some of you have even more concepts.
There are even some plants which I haven't hoped for
What is also really interesting is how convergent some of you think and that you partly draw lines between these (not yet canon) species, very cool. Some animals which were drawn are actually on my to-do-list for a long time so while I don't know if specifically 'this' species will become canon I can say you that flamingos, corvids, solifuges and of course a moloch will appear on Nea!
Oh and stay tuned!,Tomorrow a apex predator of Nea will be revealed

Prehistoric Planet!
I now watched the first two epsiodes of Prehisotric Planet, the new documentary series set in the late Cretaceous, available on Apple TV+. Well, what can I say: IT'S FANTASTIC, all negative critique I can give it are minuscule pacing issues in like 3 instances and of course that some segments need to be longer because they are way too cool. ;) Very important: Please don't pirate the series! This is our chance to get more such content in the future if we can show the world that such a format has potential to be successful! You can get a free trial of AppleTV in many countries or by using a VPN! The trial lasts 7 days, so enough time to see the whole thing. People with newer Apple products should also have complete access to the show.
Lost World Spec Challenge
#Spectember is upon us! And so the next Spec Challenge arrives! Last time we explored Skull Island, now we follow the tracks of Prof. Challenger into The Lost World. The lost world, in the book knows as Maple-White Land is a large, isolated plateau, a tepui. It is suited near the three nation triangle of Brazil, Venezuela and Guyana and yes, it is home to some remarkable flora and fauna. But hold your horses! Like with Skull island you will not find here the non-avian dinosaurs you seek, Challenger was a bloody adventurer, don't trust everything you read *! However even for tepui standards the Maple-White Land has a lot of strange and archaic creatures that you might mistake for some retro dinosaurs on first sight. In case you aren't familiar with tepuis I put together a bunch of papers and photos that will show you the wonders of the flora fauna and landscape. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/idynxub2d6fdbfb/AACQyE_ksdJE5yjPMTh3pDUma?dl=0 And I found this book online that you can complete
Contest update!
Hi guys!
A few days ago I was notified that the Bromacker contests deadline will be extended to the 25. of September! So in case you had no time yet there is (I hope so) plenty of time now! And for those
who already have an entry: you can produce up to three. ;)
Because we don't want to wait that long with the release of the second #paleostream book we will end our contest with the same theme on the 26. of April, on that day we will have a livestream and announce the winner, the next day the book will hit the market.
You can win one of the first copies!
To take part please post under the hashtag #paleostream or #paleostreamcontest, yo
Bromacker Deadline moved!
Kind of good news! Thanks to the current pandemic the deadline for the Bromacker Paleoart contest has been moved into the future, by how much isn't clear yet, but the exhibition is also opening now in summer of autumn, so there should be at least a months more time to further work of pictures. Remember everyone can submit 3 pieces!
So in case you had no time yet: the current quarantine grants you some. ;)
