Hi everyone!
Today the contest for Nea ended... or does it? I got some requests to run is little longer because of unfinished work! Well, luckily for you I have much to do
in the moment and can't really decide which creatures I wanna pick so you guys get a little more time. But on Monday I door will be closed!
Or not? I thought about extending this contest into infinity! Like Memo does it with Snaiad... would you like this? Let me know!
This contest will definitely end but what will come after that is still unknown and there are tons of good entries which will not get their place in the canon which
makes me pretty sad and the act of picking not easier.
But I had a idea! I'm working in the moment on a wordpress blog for Nea, it is all in German because it will be part of the annual exhibition of our academy,
but I thought about how I could make this contest part of the exhibition and, in some way, canon.
In short: I would like to leave the contest as what it is, a contest for possible creatures for Nea. A contest which was started before the colonization and
which gave artists from the solar system the opportunity to get involved into the part of creating a biosphere too. Out of this/yours entries a committee chose in the end a few species which they want on the planet or want to alter.
There would be a page on the website with all entries of this contest with a short description of the animal/plant and maybe the artist.
It wouldn't even need to be your real name (ever thought about what name you could have as a vampire of neoraptor?) and this way the whole contest would get it's own stage and a legitimacy to be, even if in the end only a few entries will make it into the canon canon
Well, let me know what you think and stay creative!
All the best,
Joschua
Edit: Oh,and better have a look at the journal where I collected all the stuff, I hope I haven't forgotten something!

Tetzoocon 2022
In case you didn't know it yet I will be at Tetzoocon 2022, a convention organized by Darren Naish and John Conway in Central London. I will be part of a podium discussion about speculative evolution, take part on discussions about paleoart and will sign a bunch of copies of Mesozoic Art, a book that will be published soon! (but I sign everything you throw at me, even napkins and random pieces of paper, usually with little doodles) In case you want to join us you can sign up here: https://tetzoo.com/convention
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!

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!
