On a sadder note, we learned in September of the sudden death of Andrew Boulton, a talented and highly motivated artist who was very active in the TRAVELLER community. One of Andrew's projects was a yearly calendar of Traveller art by an assortment of pro and fan artists, the proceeds of which going to a different charity every year. I was fortunate enough to have been involved in Andrew's calendar project for several years, and was working on next year's submission when I heard the news of his death. When the cadre of artists Andrew had assembled for the 2013 effort began talking over e-mail, we quickly decided that, to honor Andrew, we really wanted to continue to put out the calendar. The result has been overwhelming.The 2013 Traveller calendar is well into its finishing stages and promises to be a fitting tribute to Andrew's memory, with more artists than ever being represented.
Traveller artists have been gathering together here on DeviantArt recently. #TheTravellerGroup [link] formed here in the last month. Take some time to take a look at the group, there's some great work showing up over there.Finally, here are the calendar pieces for 2013 that have been posted here so far on DeviantArt. I'll post the url where you'll be able to buy the calendar here when it becomes available.
On the subjects of sci-fi, I see the reason here; I have commented on Arcass' about this matter. I design starships and tend to make them look as workable as possible - but again, it depends on what you are aiming for and what the client wants; greebled ships are there for people to show off skill, scale, and talent. True ships would be mainly sleek and lacking such wares - but people find them boring. Now we have organic ships, living ships and utterly alien ships.
For my part, while, I love seeing people come up with Star Trek ships, I really enjoy the hard scifi stuff.
Speaking of the Leonov Project, you really need to depict it taped to the discovery.
With bonus point if you manage to avoid sea-ship & air-ship design in space at the same time.
Project Rho (aka Atomik Rocket) is certainly the reference on the matter of realistic spaceship.

Of course, even this site made for hard-SF remember that it's still fiction and thus must be interesting
