It's sad that cartoonist likeRon Cobb,Ralph McQuarrie don't get the real spotlight durning their life, only after death they are revealed to be real inspiration not only for past but also future, I remember watching documentary on sequel trilogy which pretty much suggested that most ideas from first movie came fromMcQuarrie's unused art.
It's like the people who give Stan Lee all of the credit and don't know who Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko are.

You're not the only other person on these boards, right?

Ralph McQuarrie, Joe Johnston, Ron Cobb, John Dystra, Phil Tippett, Jon Berg just to name a few.
RIP Ron
Ron Cobb didn't just help design the USCSS Nostromo, he did design the ship, inside and out, as well as the Narcissus escape pod.
There is no death, there is only the force The Jedi Code. RIP Ron Cobb, may your work live on forever.
That's a bummer, Ithorians are one of my favorite races in all of Star Wars, I always liked the look of them. I always liked the idea of an Ithorian Jedi Knight but I didn't loved the design for Roron Corobb. RIP.
