Re: New Concept for F11 King
Simply WOW! I also like the idea of a lion or something that has more to do with the word Leonidas than with ancient greek culture. Nice work! I'd only change the colors of the lion towards...more blue for fedora? i don't really know, but at this point it looks a little bit too dirty i think. Not like a desktop background that is more static and calm... And also the birds shouldn't be there for my taste - or at least have another color. What about making the Lions hair less detailed, change his color a little bit, erase those birds...and for the background maybe we'll find some more greek things? On the other hand those lines make it more like Leonidas in the 21st ceentury - adding a more modern touch to it (don't forgert: these are nerdy times with a lot of technology.) -- Justus krz...@web.de ___ Fedora-art-list mailing list Fedora-art-list@redhat.com http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-art-list
Re: Just an FYI concerning the beta artwork

I'm concerned that when my system prominently shows a picture with a temple, that might be interpreted as Mikus worships paganism To my reckoning this is the first Fedora artwork that has had culture specific elements in it, so this sort of issue might never have been raised in prior discussions. I don't know, I mostly lurk. But I'm bringing it to your attention to make sure you see that reaction. I totally agree. I can't believe I didn't even think about this. We need to stop the presses, immediately. Shut down all Fedora yum repo mirrors, we must stop distributing this artwork immediately. I cannot believe we let something like this out, something so divisive and controversial. I assure you it won't happen again. You see, Fedora really has a big problem on its hands here, and I will personally make it my responsibility to rectify the situation: First up - this Paul Frields guy - who puts a guy named Paul in charge of something? Paul is one of the apostles of that Jesus guy, right? A saint at least. We can't have that. No siree. We cannot have any possible reference to any organized religion in our utopian operating system's leadership. We need someone like me in charge of Fedora. Máirín - sure it's the Gaelic diminutive of Mary, who was the mother of Jesus, but it's got ACCENT MARKS. That totally makes it okay. Effective immediately, we have to revoke Fedora version control access to anyone with a name that has religious roots. We've got to nip this in the bud. [snip] Stay safe! I would like to take this moment to ask everyone to stop this thread right here before it goes any more crazy/sarcastic/ballistic. Thanks! I Agree! Seems to be a bit too exaggerated... ___ Fedora-art-list mailing list Fedora-art-list@redhat.com http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-art-list
Re: Help out with the f11 wallpaper? AND a short hello to everyone!
Hey, i just searched through my photos and found some pieces of work that could be useful. Most of them are those dramatic skies you were looking for. License.txt -file is also packed in, for further questions or so just mail me. You can find the file on my webspace - ca. 19 MB compressed folder. http://www.schnorchelkatze.ist-stylish.de/Skies_for_Fedora_11_by_krzzzt.tar.bz2 Now the thing i should have said a week before i guess... Hello, i'm Justus Holzberger from Germany. I'm a happy Fedora-user and want to share my talents with the fedora-project. I do photography and work also with Blender and Gimp - even want to study arts, so i think i should just fit fine into the artwork-team of fedora. For my Portfolio take a look at http://www.krzzzt.deviantart.com and fon't forget to look into the scrapbook - i'm one of the rare people who use it. I'm glad to help if i can! Justus Hey folks, So the clock is ticking and we don't have much time to make F11 beta. I would like to try to take the wallpaper base artwork that I put together [1] and add some elements to it to match Luya's sketch [2]. (Although I'm not 100% sure the vase in the composition will work but we can certainly try it.) Since there's not so much time, I was wondering if folks would be willing to help out with this. We need some good, clear, high-resolution, and openly-licensed [3] source photos for this composition. Here's what we need: A) Greek columns, high-res, including either the top or bottom of the pillar, straight-on / dead-on perspective, no angles. B) A photo of a lake or body of water, with as clean a horizon as possible (eg., if there's only sky above the water, perfect, or a flat color above the water ,perfect. If there's a lot of different colors above the water's surface like trees etc, it will be too hard to work with.) The photo should be mostly water. E.g., something like: http://flickr.com/photos/rashid4u/2885932926/ (NOTE: this one isn't the right license so we can't use it) C) A Spartan boat (see Luya's picture for the type), preferably shot from above so the camera is looking down on the boat D) Clouds - a nice clean shot of some dramatic clouds E) Olive trees, a full tree without much noise behind the branches and leaves so it can be cut out cleanly. Flat/level perspective preferred, but a from below perspective or from above perspective could be useful too. F) Vase (see Luya's sketch) For each photo you find, write down: 1) the URL you got it at 2) what license it is under 3) the author of the photo 4) if the photo isn't up somewhere online (eg from your personal or a friend's collection), upload it to the wiki and provide that url. Thanks in advance to any of y'all who are interested in helping out :) For an extra incentive, I'll ship out a packet of Fedora stickers and some other goodies to the person who sends in the greatest number high-quality and usable photos. ~m [1] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Image:Artwork_F11_greek-concept_mockup2_mo.png [2] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Image:Sketch_greek_field.png [3] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing#Good_Licenses_3 *MUST* be one of these licenses or public domain ___ Fedora-art-list mailing list Fedora-art-list@redhat.com http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-art-list ___ Fedora-art-list mailing list Fedora-art-list@redhat.com http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-art-list
