"So ... you're proposing that you put my ship into a few pieces of artwork and when it gets purchased, I get a cut?"

That's the outloud and polite clarification. The internal one is 'Hunter draws a YT-1300 that's likeness could only be mine in a very peripheral sense and I have money, if/when he sells it.' Providing he's hearing the guy out like he thinks he is ... he'll make that deal. Sounds like easy money.
