I needed something a little different to work on the past few days so I went back and painted an update of a sketch I did years ago for a certain ship from one of my favorite Star Trek novels. Enjoy. :)

With Star Wars Episode VII coming out next year, I’ve recently been contemplating what some of the familiar characters from the original trilogy might look like 30 years on from when we last saw them. There are a couple of leaked concept art pieces of Han Solo floating around out there but...

No, this has nothing to do with Trek and may be of no interest whatsoever to some of you, but I get asked a lot about the process I use to create a digital art piece and this seemed like a good opportunity to demonstrate it. A couple of years ago I did a painting for my Dad as a Christmas gift...

I just posted a comment in a different thread that got me thinking about this and I wanted to follow up on it in more detail. What if Cumberbatch's John Harrison is not the actual villain in this movie? What if he's just an operative for the real villain who somehow betrayed or abandoned him...

In an effort to expand my digital art portfolio, I have started working on a collection of concept illustrations inspired by a book a friend of mine is currently writing. I'm sworn to secrecy on the plot details and most other particulars except to say that it falls roughly into the category...

A couple of months ago, I decided to enter the monthly art challenge at ImagineFX.com. The theme for the challenge was a simple two-word phrase, “Sky Harbor,” to be interpreted however the artist chose. I chose to do a retro-futuristic scene of a 1930s New York city where advanced airships...

So, lately I've been trying to do more "sketch of the day" type stuff, just to get in the practice and try to improve my speed. I had the idea for this one earlier today while I was at work, then I came home and drew it up in less than 10 minutes. Nothing fancy but I think it might have promise...

So, after beating my head against the wall for half the day yesterday trying to come up with a replacement for the engine grills on Polaris, I decided to break away from designing spaceships for a little while and do something completely different, try to clear my creative palate so to speak...

Your challenge for the month of June is to take some off-duty time and relax. You've got three weeks leave coming from Starfleet and a whole galaxy of destinations to choose from. Will it be Argelius? The Amusement Park Planet? Risa? Edo? Space Station K-7? The future version of one of Earth's...

Last Thursday I happened to click on the monthly art challenge thread because the title intrigued me, and an appropriate idea instantly popped into my head. I haven't done a monthly art challenge in a while and I desperately needed a short break from my nearly non-stop work on the Polaris, so I...

Good morning, Trek Artists. Your challenge for the month of May, should you choose to accept it, is to design a ship, vehicle, prop or some other physical element of the Trek universe. It can belong to any established Trek race and be set in any era of Trek history. Here's the catch: Whatever...

Yeah, okay, so I decided to take another crack at the monthly art challenge. Hopefully I won't come down with a raging cold in the final week this time. Here's idea #1: I'm waiting to see if an Idea #2 strikes me. If not, I'll move ahead with this one or some variation thereof.

So I went to see Monsters vs. Aliens this afternoon and they showed what initially appeared to be Star Trek trailer #1, but as it progressed I realized the sequence was different and then they threw in some new footage I hadn't seen before. Kirk was running around in a room with a bunch of big...

Those of you who were around back in 2004 might remember this design created by Reverend, a.k.a. "Reverend Trigster:" You may also remember that I was so intrigued by the concept that I decided to create a 3D model of it, with Reverend's blessing of course. Unfortunately, this was another...

I've only entered the monthly art challenge once several years ago and I wasn't really planning to enter this one, but I had an idea as I was reading over the contest intro and I decided to go for it. Not sure ten days is going to be enough to finish it but I'll give it my best shot. For what...

As if I needed another project on my to-do list. ;) I figure if I'm going to take another huge bite out of my spare time, I might as well go for broke. This new project is going to be huge, huge enough to make my once-ambitious dreams of redoing all the effects shots for The Doomsday Machine...

Just spotted this one: Link to the full story. I'm guessing that Trek is probably too far along to shelve it at this point, but I'll be curious to hear what this ultimately means.

I have been running a role-playing game set in the Serenity universe for well over a year now. We started out using the Serenity rules system from Margaret Weiss Productions and later switched to my old sci-fi favorite Alternity, which offered a much more expansive and complete set of rules. We...

Apparently the original thread for this project has expired so I am starting a new one. Most of you should remember the Kiaga, a brilliant original design by Aridas Sofia: I was sufficiently inspired by the design that I decided to tackle it as a 3D modeling project. Here are a couple...

Well, it took me long enough, but I finally got around to doing some wallpapers. All three are 1680x1050 widescreen. Enjoy.
