There's only 5 slots for votes.

I'll do a second pool with more specific themes, if any of those two wins, there will be separated options for each.

You can easily add new Options.

I'd join gladly too. 
Voted for high middle ages. Never really liked steampunk that much.

 

[BenKenobi]

All for it.

 

[SacredStoneHead]

Allright then, seems we got a winner, High Middle Ages/Renaissance with 40% of the votes.

Since the competition starts tomorrow, I'll make a quick poll with some themes, the one with more votes will be the subject of next week drawing jam.

Check the poll!

Is historical accuracy required?

 

[CounterPoint391]

I think a simple High Middle Ages vs Renaissance poll would be better -- allows a little more variety whilst maintaining a theme. And I think it would entice more artists as not everyone wants to draw people. Just my unsolicited opinion though,

 

[PoisonCourtesan]

Agreed with the above. Keeping the themes general allows for more creativity.

 

[Captured Joe]

Indeed.

 

[F.F.C._fritz]

Hey guys, since everybody got it different depending on the place you live, shall we specifiy a timeline for "High Middle Ages" and "Renaissance"? Let's say 1066-1492 and 1450-1527? I don't know, just wondering.

This.

The theme should be taken openly - if someone will draw a bunch of boys couching a broomstick and throwing each other out of a bicycle as a theme for "medieval age", tere should be noobstacle.

I had in mind High Middle Ages from 1000 to 1300 and Renaissance from this period onwards until around 1600.

Agreed with the above. Keeping the themes general allows for more creativity.

That's a bit late to change the polls, but worry not, next one will be set by the winner.

If you think making it more specific will cripple the competition, I'll adjust the theme by the 3 most voted themes.

My bad for messing the first poll because I didn't know there was an option to add more than 5 items.

 

[CounterPoint391]

Since it's a bit late to do another poll, I forward a motion to simply take the votes in each category, and add them up by theme (High Middle Ages vs Renaissance), and the winner becomes this week's theme.

I agree with this.

 

[Beobart]

When will the poll be closed?

 

[ART0PR]

Well its closed and it looks like the winner is High Middle Ages low rank soldiers or High Middle Ages in general.

 

[SacredStoneHead]

Alright, the competition is up.

The theme will be Military of the High Middle Ages.

Draw a soldier in guard duty, a romantic departure of soldier and wife, a nobleman in a joust, a muddy pitch battle, a cavalry charge - your call, just put some people in nifty military equipment of the 11th - 13th century period in it!

Don't forget to read the rules, and good luck!

 

[ART0PR]

Why only up to 13th century?

Nevermind, I`m just tired it seems!

 

[SacredStoneHead]

High Middle Ages?
