You may already be familiar with Solar
Echoes artist John Fell—he's the guy behind the awesome color
character art that you see at www.SolarEchoes.com.
John's forte is character art, but he has been willing to work with
me on other art projects as well, such as the cool emblems that are
in the UG Handbook and also on the website. I recently asked John to
help me re-design the character sheet, and though he indicated he'd
do his best, he warned me that it might not be something he'll be
very skilled at. There is a difference between a graphic artist
(John) and a graphic designer; graphic designers draw graphical
templates, border art, logos, etc. When we were ready to start, John
sent me news of an unexpected delay—his computer totally crashed
and he had to wait a week for the new one he'd ordered to arrive.
During this time, I decided to get as much done on the character
sheet as I could, so that John could focus on the artistic aspects of
the redesign rather than go back and forth with me on formatting
options. He's only somewhat familiar with the game rules, so I
figured I was probably the best person to work on changing the
format. Over that week of waiting for John's computer, I worked
during every spare moment on reformatting the character sheet...
