TheGrimmOmen,
Thats great news! Jeff and Mesanna should be mentioning this at every public opportunity they get as it
IS encouraging! It would be a good idea to see these kind of things mentioned on the Herald every few weeks. Thist kind of udate lets us know what you (or any member of the Team) are working on without setting up any false expectations or deadlines. "Here's what we're working on, in this vague order, subject to issues cropping up." This is the kind of communication we've been craving for years!
Though, while you mention rerendering art, bump up the res a bit.. I'd like to see more details again. Oh, check out a gargoyle wearing a kilt flying northwest - they have a hole that appears in their kilt under them.
