Poll 25 - Page 6 artwork

20 April 2007 - 13 May 2007

Instructions to voters were:

Here is the task given to the artists:

We have an outline of the next scene of the comic, and the LAST part of the description is as follows:

The ships reform the line. The crew look excited, expectant. The starter's pistol fires. Once more the ships surge forward. Pan back to the start line. Infinity is stationary. There is the sound of an ignition failing to catch.

I have assigned the prior plot material to dialogue writers to flesh out in more detail, but this part is primarily visual, so I'm giving it straight to you, the artists. Your task is to create a page for the comic which shows this action. All the submissions I receive will be voted on to choose the "alpha" canonical version of this page - other submissions will be viewable as "alternate" versions.

You can interpret details as you wish, but the following will be good for continuity and probably your chances in the voting: The best view we have of the Infinity is in Pumpkinetics' page, so it would be nice to follow its design. And of course we have several mutually consistent references for the character appearances now.

Other details like the "starter's pistol" may actually be a radio signal or laser flare or whatever; the ignition failure could be visible as a cockpit error message or something actually blowing up... use your imagination.

Note: Artwork 5 was submitted a few hours after the submission deadline. Voters were allowed to take that into account in deciding their vote. Votes cast before art 5 was added to the polling form were not allowed to be changed to include it. I felt that was a fair penalty to the artist who missed the deadline.

Outcome

The winner is version 2, drawn by Kaunartist.
