the concept art for the beast is approved, i don't really care who models it
but i would say katie has dibs because she had it first, however if she
wants to defer to you that is fine - if you have any questions post them for
the group or you can email me directly and i can answer!

as far as contentions go, i think basically people are frustrated by a lack
of progress, we had a major problem as far as managing the project goes that
hopefully is in the process of being rectified so really don't worry about
it!  I really like everyone on the team and i think we can do great thing
and i feel responsible for slowness but have taken steps to fix the issue...
hopefully we'll have smooth sailing now.

thanks,

eric
