Topic: Starfleet Command modelers get a nod - The Four Years War novels

Hey y'all!

I was just checking the Axanarblog (http://www.startrekaxanar.com/blog/, and came across the entry about Stephen Fender's Four Years War novels.

Partway through the story, they get talking about the cover art, and Stephen mentioned that he used some Klingon textures from Starfleet Command for his cover art:

Who did the art for the covers?

The cover art is something of an amalgam. All of the 3D models were made by myself, while the textures for the Klingon ships come from fan-produced models made for the PC game Star Trek: Starfleet Command. Background images of planets and nebulas are fan produced, and come courtesy of some friends on DeviantArt. Special effects, lighting, compositing, layout, and rendering are all done by me in LighWave v11. The Star Trek font is freely available on the internet, and the ‘pocket book’ border lines were hand drawn by me to give a sense of nostalgia.

Interesting...

BTW, Stephen's first two Four Years War books are available via his website.
