Congratulate the winner of contest, :icondanieljoelnewman: with Lavafish!


Honorable mention has to go to :icondeinoscaos: for his wonderful and creative work on Fish from Hell!


New Contest Subject: Alien Poultry

Be creative! It could be a creature from Darwin IV or from any Barlowe's work. Put some Barlowe touch on it, maybe thick limbs, cephalod head, reptilian wings, or whatever feature you felt most inspired by Barlowe. It can be a Turkey ;)

Deadline: 12/5
It seems to be satisfied with two entries so far. I know it has been busy month for everyone and it is safe to assume that by November it would be back on the track for everyone.

The winner is :iconzypherax: with Cephaloid Dromiasaur. Congratulate Zypherax!

New contest subject is: Lava Fish. Visualize a fish life from Barlowe's book, God's Demon, with lava oozing all over and what fish life would be lurking below. Feel free to use sigil as it represents Barlowe's vision of demons. It is not necessary to use direct reference from his book, any fish or fish-like creature would be fine.

Contest ends on November 21st. Hope to see more entries this time around ;)
It seems to be a very busy month for everyone especially with the beginning of school year, I have seen some contest WIPs but none has been submitted yet. I would like to have everyone's opinion to resume with same subject for contest or change to new subject. We're gaining more members as weeks go by, some great submissions and several of members are eligible for contributor status very soon. It only take 20 submissions to upgrade your membership to contributor, which entitle you with automatic approval for submissions except contest submission.

When the time allows, I would like to customize the group page a bit further and add convenience of feature and accessibility. I have added two resource links for Barlowe's work on bottom of contest header which everyone can research for inspiration and get idea for their contest submissions. If anyone has links to share that has references to Barlowe's works, please share with us so I can add it as resource link.
I have been reworking the look of front page, changing layout and adjusting for convenience of navigation. Features will be used for the winner of weekly contest and added new box for contest information and guideline. Some more changes will to be coming soon, if you have any suggestion on improving the quality of experience in Barlowe's Realm group, please feel free to share with us all.
It was difficult to judge both entries since they're both very good! Interesting concepts, very similar yet so different. It was a very very close contest! Well done, Elytracephalid and Velociraptor-King!

The winner is Elytracephalid with Darwin IV insects elytracephalid.deviantart.com/…
