When writing descriptions of things to draw to your commissioned artist, dont forget to cut the lore as much as possible, focus on what can be represented visually. :3
If you want to provide lore, I would advice to put in a separate section of it own, and to resume it to bullet points. This way the artist can consult it if they need to.
The goal is to keep the visual cues grouped together for easy consultation and most importantly easy visualisation.
Makes sense.
The only 'lore' that's really relevant is anything cultural, evolutionary, or engineering-wise that affects how [the thing] looks.
If they're not up for drawing concept art, just slap together a mood board. All that needs is MS paint, or a list of URLs that says "Look at these, yo."
Ah, yes... The crew... Who are not even in the picture, probably, and their life stories certainly are not unless you're designing their bunks.
I have both of those, but I... Don't think I've hardly ever posted images of both of them at the same time before. It's usually one or the other.
