Eco-September

Every now and then something appears on WorldAnvil that captures my inspiration enough to make it a focus. This September this has been the idea from Mochi which combined some of the principles of Galaxy24.   Now I started taking part in Galaxy24, but never managed to finish it due to a busy year. However, the challenge being completed by Mochi to write about species for each day in September, leading to a total of 32 different species. Each week they are taking one of these species and creating a more complete article from it. You can read more about Mochi's personal challenge here.   My challenge is similar, even though this article is being written later into the month. I want to write about 30 new species, however I am going to wait until the end of the month to decide which ones are going to become articles, with limited exceptions. I hope to make at least 2 articles from this list, but that's an extra and optional goal. This is to give me the freedom to work on not only other challenges, but also to give myself less pressure to complete something more completed.   Unlike Mochi, I am not entirely focusing on developing a single eco-system in this challenge. However, I am looking to try and have the different creatures from each week of September be from a similar region of the world to flesh out some specific eco-systems.   The last part of the challenge for me is to try and get a artistic representation of my species. I am an artist by no means, but I really want to work on developing an artistic style particularly as I look towards the end of the year and WorldEmber (its coming). I want to have a better ability to visualize what I am writing and to add more polish to many of my articles.
