For me, it's really, really hard to find adequate words for how awesome I deem the artwork from the preview. Especially the picture of the seven caste members. Even if "directorship" seems to be misspelled as "dictatorship". Slip of the pen or Freudian slip?  ;) ;D

Very interesting. And the at looks very good. Also interesting to see the evolution from sketch to the finished picture.

Fun insight into the creative process. i've always wodnered exactly how much creative influnce/direction the writers and project manager typically try to exert over how the art actually turns out. This helps close the gap.

I skimmed a lot of the text - it was a bit TL;DR, but the art at the end was definitely worth it.

Impressed with the artwork.  The quality of the final art of the winter retreat in particular was surprising.

I'm really happy you get to see your 'peeps' get some good face time.  It looks very promising doesn't it?
