For the last 4 years I have been working on my first book named "Darwin 325." My story is placed on an alternate Earth that is filled with odd but slightly familiar animals. I agree with a past post I read about how different the animals would be if the Earth started over again. Your art is exactly the ideas of what I thought those animals might look like. I am so glad to see your creations express my dreams. Thanks for the inspiration to write my next book, Aloha Aloha, I stumbled across your amazing artwork while cruising the web tonight and I was completely blown away by your art and concepts.

I appreciate the tip about the classification! I always need help with that sort of thing as I am in no way a biologist. Sorry it took me a bit to receive your comment - it ended up in spam for some reason :P Thanks again Thank you very much! I appreciate the tip about the classification!

I'm hoping it will expand to something great. I also hope we are able to give you our ideas as well. :D Not to be a bother or anything but I noticed that the scientific name isn't properly structured, such that the first letter in the first name has to be capitalised while the others are in lowercase. The second name is to be lowercase only. And both would need to be italicised. Example would be <i>Mardik mardik</i>. Sorry if it seemed like I'm making a fuss but I think I would just mention it.

I'm glad you enjoy it. Currently, I don't have a place for species suggestions. Viewers are welcome to suggest ideas in posts as of now. I don't plan on setting up a forum just yet but I may expand this blog once the new website is launched. Perhaps viewers can then comment on progress sketches and help give suggestions for what the species could end up like or even new species as the site will be more of a log of progress of what I'm working on. There will also be a facebook fan page for The Morae River soon as well. I hope this answers your question. Thanks again :) Jason,

If there is one can someone direct me? If not, I highly suggest one, even if you want to do this entirely on your own, it may just be fun to see what people come up with and add some depth to your site I stumbled across this site and i usually just look through and enjoy the content and move on, but this is exactly what I’ve always wanted to do, I was wondering if there was some type of forum or concept/idea section where readers can help inspire ideas and such.

David, Thank you, and yes I've heard that as well. I always think about that when I create my animals and I tend to think I'm being too familiar in my designs. Its a very interesting statement and it makes me wonder of all the ways we could have ended up here on earth! Thanks for the thoughts! :D A. David, Thank you, and yes I’ve heard that as well.

It’s somewhat open as of now; I'm letting the project tell me what it wants to be." Very intriguing statement. Some food for thought: A few years back, an evolutionary biologist (his name escapes me now) made the remark (paraphrasing)--If evolution was restarted on earth, life would look nothing like it does now. “I had started out with it being an alien planet, although its taking on a lot of characteristics of earth.

Or have you left it more open to interpretation? If I may ask, what are your ideas about Solturna as a worldbuilder… do you consider it an alien planet or an alternate earth?
