Default Official vikings merch - Shrap & MM pls read.

I was planning to get some of that special paper for my inkjet and print out some Viking & Valkyrie T-shirts for myself. Then I thought I might as well share the files and set up a "print your own Vikings merchandise" page on my website=-) I doubt that anyone else would want to wear wear one, but I thought I'd do it anyway, just for the craic...

Anyway, while I was making up the viking T-shirt designs, I came up with some non-viking designs as well, using standard SE4 images (Race Portraits etc). Obviously this raises copyright issues, and I imagine MM / Shrapnel would be rather upset if I started generating unofficial SE4 merchandise. However I want to make these pictures available for viewing because I like them, and because I think others might like them, and also to see if there's enough demand for us to start campaigning for *official* merch=-)

Shrapnel, what is your position on this? I'd like people to see what I've done, but I don't want to
cause trouble. If you / Malfador (who would have the rights to merchandising?) really disapprove,
I won't upload the images or circulate them at all. I can mail you the images if you want to see them before deciding (Or if you want to buy them off me - lol! ). How about if I were to publish only low-res images that aren't suitable for print?

I plan to upload the Viking and Valkyrie designs this evening (GMT) to the address in my sig. Uploading of the "unnofficial" designs is pending an official response to this message.

I found a part of an interview with Aaron regarding this question:

SpaceEmpires.org:
Are there plans to create SE4 Merchandize like shirts, hats, mugs, etc. Please.......

Aaron Hall of Malfador:
That's up to Shrapnel Games. A T-Shirt might be nice...

LOL, I believe that was actually one of my questions.

Mmmh, think about an underwear collection based upon Drushocka pics. What the heck has been MM's model the escort has been sampled from ?

Is there an ETA on either OD: UMII or the coffee mugs?
