Chris Foss was (is?) a damn good traditional artist.

You know all those Isaac Asimov and A.C Clarke book illustrations?  most of them were Foss paintings.

for Homeworld relic used that kind of aesthetic in their ship designs

Rrg, I don't like it when people pic works of art for flags. Flags are supposed to be geometric shapes with primary colors - the kind of thing little kids can scribble during kindergarten, or an illiterate mechanic can paint on a tailfin.

I meant "seal", not "flag". Sorry. Sort of like the US seal.

take a look at the Mexican flag... no geometric shapes there, many nations do not use geometric shapes at all

I've already shown you all the Obirian flag...

(copy/paste)

http://www.geocities.com/kalnnas/OCflagblack.jpg

although it should look a lot more professional than that, obviously, and it should only have four stars on it now instead of five (due to the destruction of Niliran).

Hmm not a bad idea, although by the time of NW3, it won't matter very much, since by then the Obies will have merged with the Feds, Teevers, Leonids, and Tarn to form the Stellar Concordium.
