Paint Shop Pro X.
And neither of them were designed by me. The Antares was developed from a sketch in the old Concordance book and the Korolev was a collaboration with several old ASDB members.

Re: Looking for an online Artist....
Yeah, I had the impression that the Antares was inspired by the Capella class. But you ran with it and took it in a nice direction. I especially liked the "mission module" bay and how you dealt with the deflector by mounting it on it's own structure. Somewhere on the "internets" I've seen a full tmp version of the Antares, I assume you did that work as well?
Incidentally, Here's a model of the Capella I did in Sketchup a couple years ago, incomplete as with most of my stuff.
Did anyone ever model the Korolev in 3d? I'd be interested to see more on her.

Re: Looking for an online Artist....
^I think Kenny (he posts here as Axeman3D iirc) made a start of the Korolev, but my utter disregard for the pesky third dimension meant that the deflector dish area couldn't be modelled as drawn. I think we tried to figure something out, but something shiny caught our eyes and we never got around to finishing it off.
He did finish the Korolev's yacht though and did a very nice job on it as I recall.
As for the Antares, yeah, I think there's three versions floating around; a straight up TOS era version, a TMP-TUC era version and a Phase II era version. The first two were meant to be the same class in original and refit configuration. That was back when the design brief (remember that this was an ASDB project) required that the design cover the Antares mentioned in ''Charlie X' and a ship who's name, class and pre-TNG era registry number cropped up in some TNG episode ('Redemption' if memory serves.)
When the high def remastered TOS episodes came out and they used an old TAS design for the 'Charlie X' Antares, that was no longer an consideration, so I redrew it from scratch to make it look like it was built in that gap between TOS & TAS. A bit of a relief to be honest as I never liked the refit version.
As far as the deflector is concerned, I never liked that FJ style mounting. Those things are supposed to be hefty bits of kit with the dish itself only being the most visible component of a much more substantial mechanism. If it was just a sensor/transceiver array then sure, fine. But I think something that's also supposed to be able to project a massive energy field ahead of a ship travelling faster than light should look like it means business.

Heres a WIP I did long ago of the original Reverend Antares design:

Re: Looking for an online Artist....
I actualy did a little story about the Firefly/Serinety crew transplanted into the Trek Universe after I saw this picture"
So I did a little story giving them an Antares class Survey ship and having them actualy surveying Shermans's world for Colonization during the time frame of the Organians stepping in and stopping the Federation and Klingons going to war.
