Default OT: Eric Henry & a picture

Just wondering if anyone has heard from Eric Henry from the old SE4 mailing list? He was also one of the artists responsible for a good amount of the artwork in SE4 and sort of my mentor in Bryce. If anyone has heard from him, or he happens to be cruising around under some clever alias, please let me know...

Aside from that, I've been fiddling around with a new shipset and while I'm reasonably pleased with how it's going, I feel like it's missing something. So far all I've got done is an Escort, so have a look and tell me what you think.

No, we have not. Not so much as a peep.

Nice indeed, but it looks incomplete. Don't know why, though.

Yeah, see, that's the problem. I've got the same feeling about it. Something just isn't quite right but I can't figure out what. Anybody have any suggestions?

I like it too. I think the incomplete feeling comes from the huge front end and the skiny back end.

Nie Escort.

How about placing something on the back to offset the "incompleteness." I've always wanted to see a shipset with solar sails on the ships or something like that.

On the ES, I think that all the really cool detail makes it look like the front of a much larger ship. The sharp square back end of the hull adds to the "I've been cut off" effect.

On the CL, I thought you could get it back by saving the uploaded file, but then realized it that DOGA (or whatever) would most likely not be able to use that as a readable format. Oh well.
