hhmm.... that's an interesting theme. Very broad at least.

Amerasu: Indeed - it was felt that we didn't want to go with another 'Dark' theme but this leaves the door open if people are so inclined.

Woohoo! Go Asylum!!!

Nice, open topic...it'll be interesting to see what each team comes up with.

When do you guys want to get together to discuss the pic?

I'll start using some e-mail in the next day or two.

Hi VP and Warjournal - you guys still up for this? We should probably get working on it soon since they've started already.

I sent an email your way last week... I have a few ideas too.

1 Week Down.

Only 2 to go.....

now, now... take your time... no need to rush these things.

I'm just wondering where we are up to here?

I have spoken to Amerasu and she is still up for the contest but time is ticking away....

If either vp or wj are too busy then we can bring in Hugh but we need to know now so we can get something ready.

Feel free to discuss your ideas in this (or other threads and other inmates can throw in ideas and thoughts - the GN is working in private and the Bored is working in public (ooops typo - pubic ):
http://bored.tryptych.net/viewforum.php?f=11

So it is up to you what you do - public might help move things on quickly.

Amerasu: Perhaps you'd like to throw in your thoughts on the subject and we can go from there?

"Thoughts that changed the the way we think"

I take this to mean "ideas" that changed the way we think. Pretty broad subject, huge in fact.

My main idea leans toward thoughts/ideas in science that have changed the way we think, live and communicate. Science expands our knowledge and it will continue to so do. This subject is pretty broad too. There are many scientific ideas that have changed the way we think... biology (evolution), astronomy (size of the universe, earth is not the center) and so on...

I'm open to any subject really. Science just pops in as a biggie

Sorry about this. Been dealing with a lot of sickness around here. Baby, then me, then baby again.

The first thing that came to my mind is innovation. Like the loom and the assembly line. Another thing that comes to mind is a head or brain with hardware.

Amerasu: Yep like you evolution and the changing views of our universe were the 2 big ons that sprung to mind for me with that topic.....

yea, evolution, survivial of the fittest and the way we destroy ourselves, seems like something, that could be illustrated well. yup I just watched all the Animatrices
That is a nice extremely broad topic, but a thought isnt tangeable it still has to be worked into something a lot simpler. I actually found in school when we where given themes in art, the less broad ones where easier to make something interesting/unusual out of.

due to work commitments, I am gonna have to bail on you guys. I just got a message from Emps and came over to let you know.

Please accept my apologies, and I hope someone can step in to replace me.

Best of luck ~Vp~

vp: Thanks for the note - feel free to throw in any ideas and critiques.

Hugh: Looks like you are off the bench - good luck

Sorry to hear about your baby WJ. I hope s/he gets better soon And sorry to hear you're not joining us either VP.

I'll ICQ you both tomorrow WJ & Hugh. Maybe we can bounce some more ideas around and figure out how to work together in a way that will suit everyone's schedule? We should probably try to settle on a theme along with some concrete ideas on how to get our subject across as a graphic ... something like that at least

Even though I have an ICQ account, trying to use it to get in touch with me is about useless. I'm up and down all day because of the little ones. No real time to sit and chat. E-mail is good. Check the button or profile.

ok WJ, will do

That's a pity VP, but Im happy to take over :P

I'm always stuck for time usually, but will do the best I can

Yea, we really gotta start thinkin on objects, composition etc..
email is prolly the best way to contact me .. can always check it wherever I am, unlike icq, etc..
It would be great if the other inhouse artists spoke up and gave their opinions and ideas as picking three people out of the forum, is hardly representitive of the whole asylum.

ooh, and just curious, who gots a Wacom ? I gots one, you guys gots one ? and.. we doing like a 1600x1024 pic ? or what, I need to know that before a lay any pen to wacom

Yep, I have a wacom

sent you both an email

For those not following closely the Asylum entry is being batted around here:

Offer advice and input

[edit: Remember the clock is ticking (you basically only have this weekend to get things done:
