| Speculative biology is simultaneously a science and form of art in which one speculates on the possibilities of life and evolution. What could the world look like if dinosaurs had never gone extinct? What could alien lifeforms look like? What kinds of plants and animals might exist in the far future? These questions and more are tackled by speculative biologists, and the Speculative Evolution welcomes all relevant ideas, inquiries, and world-building projects alike. With a member base comprising users from across the world, our community is the largest and longest-running place of gathering for speculative biologists on the web. While unregistered users are able to browse the forum on a basic level, registering an account provides additional forum access not visible to guests as well as the ability to join in discussions and contribute yourself! Registration is free and instantaneous. Join our community today! |

deviantART is essentially an online gallery/ forum mixture. Once you have an account, you can upload your images and post comments on other peoples' work. You don't have to worry about getting it, though - I only got my account about a month ago, and I've been on this site since October last year. |

As far as I know of Empyreon and Temporary don't have accounts either. DeviantArt has thousands of accounts, and if they see your art they can comment on it, give you tips, etc... You can also join groups. The only con I know of is that it doesn't support transparent .png's and .gif's as well as other image hosters, unless they are small and you put them in the "Other" category. |

Right, I don't have one. Don't have any intention of getting one. I don't do art, and I really don't like the scrolling thing used to show written work that well. The only upside I can think of is an alternate way of communicating with the people on this site, but, guess what? We already have a way of communicating, this site. (I know that sounded annoyed, that's probably because I'm a wee-bit tired right now) |

Pros: Lots of people to meet and lots of good art. Cons: The less said about the staff the better, lots of crappy "art", plenty of idiots, and people report things for stupid reasons. |

Actually, Empyreon has said that he does have an account, but he never uses it. |

He's lying. I've seen him comment of John Faa's writing and journals. |

Plus, something like 99% of all Snaiad fan art is on DeviantArt. |

Of course. There is a nice amount of spec biology art around, even a group that only focuses in artists drawing spec-related art. |
|
http://spidervenom022.deviantart.com Go in there for some odd stuff that could make you puke, and ask for some free sketches.
