I'm very curious as to what the interior of the CEV will look like and how it'll contain up to 4-6 people. Is there a cutaway available online of any proposed designs?

I'm sure I read somewhere that everyone is supposed to be on the same level now -

Four man to the moon is. Six man to the ISS is two levels, from what I've read and seen. -

Can't fit 6 then. Pilot and copilot are fwd to place them close to the windows with the control panels in all versions, 2-6 people. It would be too much to reconfiguring of the flight control stations to move back and forth

And they decide who gets the contract on Aug 31, as the article predicted.

Is the bulging (un symetrical?) heat shield some kind of image transfer artifact, or is it really more bulbus on one side?

The asymmetrical heat shield increases L/D during re-entry. The ESAS report considered it but dropped it due to technical risk. I'm not sure if it made it back in at any point, or if it's still being considered.
