A New Look at Starfleet Academy and Starfleet Command/Medical

[Pony Horton]

I created these matte paintings for the STAR TREK: PHASE II episode "Origins: The Protracted Man"

 

[sojourner]

Nice! I like the inclusion of the Soyuz.

 

[CorporalCaptain]

Those look like floating green highway signs with streetlights?

 

[Albertese]

I love the museum rockets and the air traffic.

Wait, is that the Watergate you put the Starfleet pennant on?

 

[Finn]

that looks like a very tall wall made of glass blocks.

No, it's just some office building that could be about 50-100 years old at the time this image takes place.

Nice! I did them all! And really like those little details like the 3 shuttles against the older building in the last picture. I love stuff like that and can never see enough.

Wait- is there a forth one coming in for a landing? It's hard to tell against the grey water. What a blah day! Heh.

The fourth one is just lifting-off the parking lot, and will end up approaching CAMERA and passing on the left.

Not all of us are familiar with the SF skyline. Can you post the originals for comparison?

Lovely. But WWIII must have been a lot less destructive than I would have thought. (I have this same opinion of professional Trek as well, btw.)

Maybe the focus of that destruction was along the east coast? NYC and DC certainly do seem to be targets of choice for present day enemies in our own timeline. If WWIII was fought between the U.S. and a similarly equipped enemy, like the U.S.S.R., then the naval facilities in SanFran would be a first strike target - but maybe it wasn't that kind of war. Maybe in the Star Trek timeline the Bay of Pigs scared the crap outta everyone so bad that they largely did away with nuclear armaments, so any nuclear exchange was much more limited. Or maybe it was asymmetrical warfare, like that between the U.S. and Iran would be, and the smaller power didn't have the armaments to destroy all of the population centers of the larger.
