Making sense of Discovery's Klingon Starships...

Oh...I get you. That would have to be for another thread. As this is for TOS re-interpretations of the ships in Discovery

Okay, time to address the proverbial "elephant in the room"...the D-7. I have seen stills of what ST: Discovery has called the D-7 and it is a travesty to us fans (again, I love the design, just not for the ship it was supposed to represent). So, originally I was not going to do the D-7 as we all know what she is supposed to look like (even all her re-interpretations and re-uses are generally more true to form then what we have seen in STiscovery), so I saw no point in redrawing her... But I then gave it some thought and figured, why not take this opportunity to add to the D-7 family as a fielded variant in the Klingon fleet. So here she is... The D-7XL (now for all you aircraft aficionados you will get this designation's connection to the F-16XL).

Enjoy:

I'm really loving all your designs, but I really LOVE this one. Still has that look but definitely works as a variant of the class.

 

Thanks!
That's what I thought would work for a variant, like this:

Now there's a rendering of Duj lommey that works for me.

(Yes, I used Bing.com's translator page on "Ship of the Dead" to get the proper name for that vessel.)

Oh, wow. A Klingon design that I actually like. I especially like the Siegeshi. Really like the the bow.

 

Thanks
And here is the TOS Klingon Bird-of-Prey that had to be made.

Don't take this the wrong way, I love the design, but this just looks so damned cute!

 

LOL

 

Just kinda wondering how/if the wings would raise or lower properly though..?

 

Awesome new designs ^_^

 

@Atolm you should be working on CBS’ production design team! Great stuff!

 

They do possess variable geometry movement... If you look carefully you'll see that the pivoting point would allow for only for downward, straight, and slightly raised. Not the full range of movement that the TMP KBoP has, but enough.

Thanks, but they seemingly don't want guys like us, who eat, sleep and breath Trek.

 

^ Of course they don't, people who care about Trek would probably burn them at the stake!

 

It makes it much more difficult to "kill your darlings" in the industry.

 

Looks a bit Gorn in the nose--or maybe Kukulkan's starship

Hail COBRA

 

Very nice group of klingon concepts - very skilled hand and eye as usual Atolm

 

Compare all of @Atolm ’s beautiful designs with these so called "Klingon ships".
