bruce Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 next we want to see a raninid Some of the ones I'm prepping may be a new species. Is it kosher to show them off here first, until they're published? I'm not the one doing the paper, but I've offered them to the author. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you think that you are prepping a new species then do not published them here till the official publication is released and that you have clearance from the author/s for posting that material here.

Auspex Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 Super idea Auspex and thanks for setting up the FOTM gallery John! We had to do something to justify our salaries! Seriously, good ideas pop up on the boards all the time; attention is being paid, and if they can be done in such a way that the desired results are assured, they will be integrated (eventually...).
