I'm surprised anything untoward happened there, pretty much everyone is paranoid about image theft, so I would've thought it'd be quite a safe place to post stuff. I've had my work stolen when it was posted on TrekBBS(once a guy actually reposted it within a couple of days and claimed it was his work), but never SFM.
It's a shame that people feel they can't post their work because of a tiny minority of thieving twits.

Will the E-C be doing something interesting? It's always tricky I guess trying to think up new and interesting positions for starships in the calendars?

Matt, can you do us ONE big favour... before the book comes out or the calendar - go through and check that the starships don't have 5 different registries or names over them.

Yeah, like he's really going to do that. And, anyway, what would be the point?

Yeah. If we were assured that all these little glitches were taken care of, then what's the point of buying the product if not to scrutinize every pixel?
In any case, most of the artwork will be simple re-prints of existing calendar pictures, and not re-renders. For the new stuff though, we ARE due fewer mistakes, which Matt and the other artists are indeed improving at doing.

I just grabbed this from startrek.com's article about the soon to be released book:

Looks like there's going to be a few suprises afterall!

WOW!!
FUCKING WOW!!
I'm gonna guess that means Hernandez didn't get to stay with Archer after all...unless Columbia had a different captain. Also, that's...remarkably intact for "abrupt planetfall."

Cool, it seems that Ships of the Line may end being made in the same style as the Terran Trade Authority books.
