I agree - that artwork is perfect. Great choice. Looks like you'll have a high quality product on your hands at the end of the day.
Very nice artwork! Nice to hear that the project is coming along nicely.

I immediately got that same vibe, although that link was strongest in the first pieces in the thread and less so further down. I definitely had the strongest reaction and spent the most time looking at his stuff. The coherence of his work seems to decrease with complexity, but his simplest bits are very striking and evocative.
Here's the final cover art, before title, license, product ID, by line, etc.

I plan to have the cover design with the above illustration ready in the next day or two and I'll post an announcement on the upcoming product in the news forum here, but I just learned an interesting little tidbit that might provide some controversial buzz for Kaidan.
I've mentioned that I am doing a collaborative publication with Dementia 5. What I haven't said, is that although I've created the outline for the entire mini-campaign arc, as well as monsters/encounters, the rule system, all the cartography, I am actually having Andy Champaign author the adventure itself.
The controversial part, now, Andy Champaign is the author and publisher of the Book of Erotic Fantasy - a dark and risque (with horrible photos of nude hippies and goth kids as its illustrations) but great content as a splat book for D&D a few years back.
So the author of the BoEF is also the same for The Gift, my first adventure for the Kaidan setting...
I don't know if that's good thing to put out there, but there it is.

Wow, that 'lil tidbit is just making me want this even more. I have already read the BoEF and loved the way that it was written. Great book by the way. It handles a very touchy subject with maturity and humor while still giving some decent guidelines for handling various aspect of it. Not for kiddies by any means, but good for mature minded gamers.
I think that this can only be a plus for your venture, GP.
