Atolmian Design: Original Starships...

[Kaiser]

Great designs

 

[publiusr]

The first one, I would have to make it organic...

The second one as a Romulan... it is not elegant enough for a Romulan starship. Too brutish for my tastes for a Romulan.


Starship 11:

Serpent-like

 

[Atolm]

Great designs

Thanks bro

Serpent-like

Thanks!

If I were running the 32nd century stuff, I'd hire you as the ship designer. Your Trek ships are sufficiently "alien" but recognizable as to whom they belong and feel far more "far future" to me than the official ships. Plus I don't like the disconnected warp engines. Thanks for sharing!

 

[Atolm]

Thanks!
In actually, I had disconnected components for Trek ships a couple of decades before what was done in Discovery... They just caught up canonically a few years ago. So it is nothing new to me. I have never had a problem with pushing the envelope of Trek ships. Some ideas people love, others not so much. That is to the purview of the observer. What I do know is that the Artists that are employed to design for the shows, do not really have a say in what is wanted by the show runners (that is if they want to get paid, and keep a reputation in the industry).

11 is so very Euro cartoon 70's SF, love it.

13 double double decker.. no one knows for sure in which hull they are..

The others are great too.

11 is nice and solid, very industrial. would not look out of place alongside the nostromo or the in amber clad.
13 reminds me of early aviation history
14 makes me think of someone trying to carry two too-big suitcases XD

The bow reminds me of another Earth ship here:

The Fastest Ship in the Galaxy? Remembering Milton Bradley’s Star Bird (1978) - Flashbak

One of the great toy lines of the immediate post-Star Wars era comes from Milton Bradley.

I’d love to see your take on Star Bird, Atolm.

I think it also inspired the Ark from Transformers.

 

[USS Jack Riley]

These are great (as usual).

14 looks like a cargo carrier. The segments on either side could be cargo.

Thanks brother, always.

Dunno if i'd redesign the starbird, but who knows... lol

Indeed is is a freighter. The containers can be dropped off in a similar fashion to an inverted Pez Dispenser

Some of these (Esp number 9) look like something Event Horizon wants to be when it grows up. I've seen your work all over the net before, honestly these are incredible, I think I first saw your work when I was looking for images of battlestars.

Well, thanks. I am glad you enjoy the work.

Starship 13:

Starships 11 and 12 giving an industrial vibe. 12 is reminding me of something, can't place it!

13 is giving me Brakiri vibes from Babylon 5.

Starship 14:

As others have said, I can see 14 as a freighter of some sort.

Starship 16:

I could see 15 as a Vulcan design.

Starship 17:

Starship 18:

18 is reminding me of the giant station from the TNG episode "Conundrum".

12 is an homage of sorts with certain structures and details in the bow of the vessel... Perhaps it will come to you in the knight...
Brakiri... interesting. I would never have place that shape for them

I could see 15 as a Vulcan design.

18 is reminding me of the giant station from the TNG episode "Conundrum".

Indeed 14 i is some sort of cargo hauler

For 15 I would have to rework some things to be Vulcan, but it is not hard to place her as one.

You are referring to the Edo-God model, correct? It could be, but with it's much more brutalist nature, it does not really fit that bill. I had envisioned 18 as some king of Torch-ship for FTL motion, and transitioning to the orientation I have drawn for "normal" space travel... kinda like a building.

15 reminds me of one of the ships trapped in Elysia in The Time Trap (TAS).
