Nice, enjoy your break. Looking forward to your concepts and sketches. Also…thanks for the wallpaper. S.S. Botany Bay?
Possibly Ok NOW the modeling is done. There's still cargo bays and the shuttlebay, but those can always be added later. Have some orthos:
Beautiful work! This is easily one of my favorite "re-imaginings" of the ship I've ever seen. It's clearly more modern and feels more realistic than the 60's version, but it also stays very true to that original. A lot of the other attempts I've seen (including the DSC/SNW version, unfortunately) go too far and lose the clean lines and simple beauty of the original. This version doesn't make those mistakes. It's also easier to imagine this version being refit into what we see in TMP.
Gorgeous. And oh my, the lifeboats! Just spotted ‘em. Well done! Can’t wait to see her with her “makeup applied”.
Art Asylum---here is something for a LEGENDS line. Something I just noticed at my second job…where there is a huge near viewscreen size display…an antenna right behind the bridge before detailing…I just saw that.
I'm glad to hear that all my goals for this have indeed been met, thank you! Ah yes, lifeboats, one thing that's missing from this and the TMP era. I hope I can do her makeup properly! There's a lot of small detailing that's hard to spot unless it's up close! Alas, I think I figured out the look that I want for the textures. Now it's just a matter of remaining consistent with the materials and mapping the paneling for the rest of the ship. Oh and I forgot to show what the phasers actually look like:
