    B5 Scrolls

    An interesting website which has a lot of behind the scenes information about the art of Babylon 5:

    http://www.themadgoner.com/B5/B5Scrolls/B5Scrolls.htm

    https://www.facebook.com/B5Scrolls

    There are interviews with the graphic artists behind the series and how some of the ships came into being.

    It seems a B5 MMOG was actually on the cards at one point:

    Re: B5 Scrolls

    Obligatory link to The Lurker's Guide, as well as a great podcast that until just last month was still running... ran for 6-7 years!!! I only had the pleasure of tuning in about 2 years ago so I haven't gone back over some of the older stuff. The audio quality varies a bit as the hosts and guests are usually on the end of a phone/Skype line rather than in a studio together, but some of the 'deep geeking' is really quite indulgent.

    And if you like spending money, then... http://www.b5books.com/
    PHP Code:
    $s = new signature();
    $s->sarcasm()->intellect()->font('Courier New')->display();

    Massive B5 fan, last series wasn't so good but 4 was amazing

    It's a shame all the cgi models were lost.

    Apparently the chap behind the website has managed to get hold of some of the original CGI assets,and has re-rendered them at 1080p. So for the most parts this what the show would have looked like,if it didn't have all recropping needed for broadcast TV:
