Hello Designers, Ninjas, Aliens and Pandas!
I'm glad to inform you that our first stage is now over, so this means
that we have complete our sketches period! Now comes the time to set a
proper priority to start our Colorize Stage (Stage 2) and give color
and live to this awesome draws.
We will have until July 05 to end our second stage (Colorize) so that
give us 17 days to play with our imagination and give love to this
draws. Remember, this vote is not to choose a wallpaper, but instead
to give us a prior list to work with them and try to arrange our time
to finish them all. One of the ideas that Design team had is to use
all (or almost all) our wallpapers in a special package based on
Verne's artwork. We have never had that much artwork, so is fare
enough to use it!
=== How we will vote? ===
Simply give us your top five draws (please, if you feel that some need
more color don't see that, see concepts and vote based on that).
Each Art piece has a number, just make click on the image you like and
send us the last number of that URL
Example:

mail with your top five, send a twitter/identi.ca <

message with the hashtag #FedoraArt or just ping me at IRC and let me
know your votes.
=== Until when is the vote? ===
Until our weekly meeting (which is Tuesday at 19UTC)
=== What will artist do in the mean time? ===

I will keep coloring as many draws as I can trying to increase votes!
Please, blog about this, call your friends... spread! Remember that
our wallpaper is the face of fedora, and we all want it to be the best!
=== Further info ===
I would like to explain a little why are we doing this and Pro's Con's
of this new initiative:
Pro's:
* We are in time!!! one of our common problems are that the artistic
process sometimes takes more than it should, so having a schedule like
this give us time to know where we are and what we should do
* We can divide and conquer! Artist can't do everything, but we can
divide our tasks and conquer the world. Using human resources based on
their best skills lets us set us realistic-goals based on what people
can do, knowing how much can we push them.
* We know when and where! We have a detailed schedule and know what to
do in each stage; so there is no way to be lost without something to
do. Also, we have an awesome place to put all our artwork and get some
interesting feedback (Artboard)
Con's:
* We have dates... so even if our process is going ok, we need to
deliver our art on time.

*My votes:*
---------------
/(in order of preference)
=> 46
=> 50
=> 37/
*Comments:*
------------------
/(46) /The smoke, perspective and general concept of 46 is perfect. 49
is an attempt to give it life but I think this one needs to be 3D art
for ease. (As though that will be easy ...). Anyway, it will be easier
to touch-up than drawn from scratch. I see a lot of potentials here ...
in fact, I might as well start the modelling right away. Disclaimer: I'm
not yet good with texturing but its one adventure worth taking.
/(50)/ Almost there. Add haze, water density, caustics, some sea life
and its awesome.
/(37)/ This is fantastic. Are we now going brown???? Looks
suspiciously like an Ubuntu wallpaper. Can we make that blue.
I can't think of more ... so mine ends at three
Nice work
