Ok, I'm having a brain fart - I can't find your post on heroes.
As for me I absolutely think that the artwork shouldn;t be a factor, simply becuase it isn't needed - I would say that you just need a "hero" image for each race in the game, which would just be one of the portraits, but perhaps with a different coloured background to let you know it represents a hero. The potential heros would only be from existing races, and so you could just use extand portraits with a
slight change.
Now, the question is: do hero's only work for their races, or can they work for others? That's a design/game play issue, and I can think of good arguments on both sides, but it really depends on what sort of philosophy Aaron is thinking about heros as...are they "legendary
star-wandering mercenary types" or just "really really extraordinary members of your own race"?
In any case, the artwork, I would think, would'nt be relevant really.. .just a "filler" image. Preferably a small one.
But can you point me to your post AT?

I would love to keep the hero's stuff too. (Especially if it is the concept I proposed.  )
