February Art Challenge - Klaus

I'm going to stake this one out now before someone else does... I will be re-imagining Stratos City from TOS.

Here's the first take:

Albertese · February 11 2013, 07:49 AM

Interesting. If I make one suggestion... one of the coolest elements of Stratos (to my taste anyhow) was its asymmetry. Maybe you could play around with some different shapes to make the whole seem a bit less unified?

Klaus · February 11 2013, 11:54 AM

I had thoughts along those lines too, I'm going to try that...

Klaus · February 11 2013, 03:15 PM

Take two:

Klaus · February 11 2013, 08:39 PM

...and some residential buildings on the outer pads.

Ensign Ro- · February 11 2013, 11:15 PM

Very cool. I also like the asymmetric style. It gives it a more "progressively-built" feel. Nicely done. And I'm soooooooo glad you didn't pick the same city I did. I would have crumpled up the virtual paper. lol

BK613 · February 12 2013, 12:11 AM

Love the asymmetry. might be interesting if this was the 24th century version of the city, 100 years after the Trogs were freed, and some remnant of the original was at the core, totally dwarfed by the new.

Is it just me or does it have a "molecule chain" feel to it?

Klaus · February 12 2013, 12:56 AM

^^I figured the hexagonal pattern would make someone think that lol...

Ziz · February 12 2013, 02:06 AM

Not so much the hexagons but the way the parts connect - large structures surrounded by smaller ones with lines connecting them.

Klaus · February 24 2013, 11:28 PM

OK nearly done... I finished the outer buildings, each "neighborhood" has a different style, and I also replaced the greebly central hubs with geodesic domes as the others were too busy and didn't match the cleaner lines I think Stratos should have.

Finn · February 25 2013, 01:38 AM

Nice!

Klaus · February 25 2013, 09:47 AM

ty! I think this is the final version...

The spheres bespeak the station in JJ's trek, but also looks to be from the Time Lords
