Guidance from the distro devs on what type of art they’d like to see:
@garuda-team feel free to add your own specific wants to this section.
What @dr460nf1r3 would like to see:
- A Catppuccin Mocha palette, Garuda-themed wallpaper.
What @FGD has in mind:
Usage of pre-existing color palettes:
- This does not mean that all colors in each wallpaper must use exactly the same color palette, but if it’s too different it will make the wallpaper fit less well with the edition’s theme.
Respecting the mood, feeling, and the spirit of the theme.
-
Mokka aims at a smooth, slow, sleepy, subdued, and calming mood, (not retina burning eye strain).
-
Dr460nized aims at an adrenaline pumping high, shouting loudly in your face, bright and colourful aura.
Does this mean a dragon would not fit Mokka? It could! But you’d have to alter it to fit the proper mood. That is art. 
-
For example, a super cute baby dragon in the Mokka colors, sitting calmly by the Tree inlaid onto our current wallpaper. Now that’s funny!
-
Don’t hesitate to be adventurous, think outside-the-box, and use your full imagination. Have some fun with it!
Please state which Edition(s) your art is for.
For those unfamiliar with the different editions color palettes and themes, there are examples of each on the Garuda downloads page.
