Art Contest Winners

Thanks everyone who participated in the latest art contest and those who voted for the winners!

Now that we counted your votes it’s time to announce the winners!

1st place: Pester Jest🥇

2nd place: Lanky Giraffe🥈

One of the many species of boreworm on Aktar, this one uses the clade’s signature rotating jaws to drill into icebergs, where an intruder has just entered

3d place: Trappist🥉

one of the major habitability problems in gas giant moons is that the biosphere will have little to no time to adapt to the chaotic, sudden and rare climate shifts that it can suffer. One of the most impactful ones happened just after terrestrial fauna seemed to had start thriving, and it was almost completely destroyed in a matter of centuries, due to an cold, unforgiving and harsh ice age. luckly, some few land dwellers still survived – species that already know how to deal with extreme temperatures, and they tried their best to live in this almost completely new world. the ice caps tripled size, which resulted in larger landmasses for them to live – almost like someone gave them a single gift, admist this desolate period.
things obviously weren’t near good either. food was scarse, and one species had to develop jaws with a protuberance so they can dig through the snow with it in search of food. one of them is finally returning home, but with just a little of food. they don’t know if that will be enough to raise their coming babies. and worse – winter is getting closer. at least, dying of hunger during hibernation wouldn’t be so painful as it would be while awaken.
