Made with Inkscape. It needs polishing, I'll keep updating it. I can't promise to do it very often though, I should been studying for my exams! :D

Desktop Background Submissions

It's more organized to keep all the submissions for a desktop background in one place, rather than cluttering up the /Intrepid/ folder of the wiki, so please put all submissions for default desktop backgrounds here under your own heading.

Ibex-> Earth Blue with a fresh determined look - Parthsarathi Trivedi

The blends of blue used in this wallpaper are derived from the same colour palette that God used when designing our planet. Aditionally, 70% of the human body consists of water. Although water itself is transparent, the great bodies of water enhance the blues in the skies by echoing the colours through the H20. Plain and simple, this wallpaper defines the Ibex as an animal who is determined, fearless and invulnerable to intimidation. Just like the operating system. The horns of this animal are rendered in this image with bold highlights and shadows, against a fresh background designed by me, specially for this piece. The eye of this animal has been given special attention to detail and makes the Ibex come alive on your desktop. I give you a wallpaper as futuristic yet simple as the operating system itself.

I would be happy to answer any queries and suggestions at parthsarathitrivedi@gmail.com. Feel free to email me. A link to the full widescreen wallpaper is given below. I will be able to produce the wallpaper in a variety of resolutions if/when required.

Ibex in the Style of Hardy

Who did the hardy wallpaper? I think it would be neat to have that same person do the Ibex wallpaper. Salane Ashcraft

I did not create the Hardy wallpaper but really like it as well. I think that wallpapers in the style of the hardy wallpaper create a very distinct look, while still showing consistency over several releases. I started working on a similar wallpaper for Intrepid. So far it is just a b/w svg-image which was traced from a picture. The [http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Capra_ibex_ibex_–_03.jpg original picture] from wikipedia commons by Nino Barbieri is published under GFDL as well as CC-BY. I actually don't know if that fulfills Ubuntus requirements as for a free license - can somebody let me know? I chose this picture because the horns are so nicely circular, reminding me of the circle of friends. I'm not sure if I should make the reference more clear in a final version of the picture.

In the current state the svg (see below list of attachments) still needs a lot of work. I'm sort of happy with the outline but now it needs to be filled with color which I only just started doing (and all the stuff is stolen from FelaKuti, so credit the maker there...) Any comments and suggestions are greatly appreciated, as is anyone who wants to work on this with me. -- Atreju Tauschinsky --

Ibex front view

It is hard to repeat the artwork style of FelaKuti, so I figured I might get things started by making a line drawing of the frontal view of an ibex. Here is the result. I just could not find a frontal view online... so I looked at a few and used my imagination... apparently my imagination is not all that bad!

I do not know how to make a preview of the drawing guys... could someone please somehow do it for me?

Intrepid Ibex in the Sands

This is based on a hand drawn sketch I made. I scanned and played with GIMP to make the colours and background fit, but it's far from complete.

I hope that someone else will continue the work - everything is GPL'ed - just send me a mail (don[dot]s[at]yodanism[dot]org) if you want the source xcf or original scanned picture.

Abstraction

This is actually an edited photo taken with a very slow shutter speed. I also have a human version that looks more like Fiesty...
