I guess the greatest compliment came from Chris, the lead dev on Torment himself (We met face-to-face first time, at GCAP 2012 in melbourne), when he said, paraphrasing, "John, if we had that concept (Of Trias), during development of Torment, we would've used it"
I printed those 4 off almost a month ago - they've been at Osidian Entertainment for a while. Chris asked me if it was ok for them to put it on their website and announce it there as well as their twitter. Unfurling them seemed to have taken quite a while. They were rather tightly packed in the tube.
Djimmy is spot on - I actually talked to Chris about my Project 'E' a few weeks to a month prior to Project 'Eternity' being publicly unveiled.
I almost freaked out. I joked with him that there was really no NDA leak. It's Project 'E' because of the first letter of the pieces. Coaxmetal was Entropy personified, and following on Torment's fondness for inversions, Entropy's opposite is Extropy. That suited Trias well. Then I realised that the The TTO was originally supposed to be (again) the inverse of the TNO, hence "Equilibrium" to balance themselves out. Then I realised that Ravel was the Eponymous Enigma, and it went on from there.
It just somehow worked, hence the Title of the Project being 'E' .
That's to clear up any misconceptions. I don't work for Obsidian, I'm just a fan who, like Fiach says, has played Torment way too much :P Affected and moved me deeply, and I have the artistic skills to reciprocate years later to the guys who made what I consider to be the deepest most self-reflecting cRPG ever made.

So Obsidian received 4 of the canvas prints, 130cm by 90cm for all 4, and 4 A3 glossy photo paper.
Great work Maledict!
Edit:
@Drugar Edit 3: Yes, there should be.

They look rather good in the warm ambient light of Obsidian's offices
