Contest: ENTER June 2025 Art Challenge -- Fun with FASA

[Starscape]

Welcome to the 239th Trek BBS Fan Art Forum Challenge!

June’s theme chosen, resoundingly, by community vote here, is:

Fun with FASA
FASA came up with lots of technical manuals and source books in the time they held the license, including designs for many different ships and equipment, characters, and background info. Using this as a starting point, come up with your own twist, spin, redesign, homage, or expansion on something from the FASA catalog.

Be sure to check out the reference material at the link in the description, there's lots of potential to cover all interests: characters, aliens, animals, tech and ships from all sort of races and times, civillian and miltary.



The Rules

• the artwork you submit should be created during the month of the challenge
• only one final image can be submitted (although it may contain multiple views)
• your final entry should be posted in this thread (although dedicated WIP threads are appreciated)

The winner gets to wear the golden “Fan Art Challenge Winner” badge on their profile for the following month. And , if you have an idea for a Challenge Theme you can post it in July's suggestion thread (here).

You have until Monday, 30 June to share your final entry here in this thread. As always, if you have any suggestion, questions or if you need more time, use this thread to let us know.

Looking forward to seeing your art. Have Fun with FASA!

oh no, so much to choose from...

 

[Laura Cynthia Chambers]

I hope everybody isn't too overwhelmed with the possibilities to choose. Though I have nothing for this month, I enjoy seeing what other people enter.

 

[B.J.]

I've sketched something up. Hopefully I can get it cleaned up, colored, etc. Been overwhelmed at work, so it's been hard to find time and motivation.

i was planning on doing one of the really nice Romulan cruisers, but i got distracted by other projects and ran out of time, so i started making this Chameleon transport yesterday

 

[Bernard Guignard]

Nice work

 

[B.J.]

Could I get a couple days extension? Had to go to a funeral out of state.

 

[Starscape]

Yeah that's no problem @B.J., sorry for your loss.

I was just about to post the poll for April's Challenge, so I was thinking to avoid overlap why not keep this contest open until that vote closes (on Monday 7th). That might even give me a chance to work on something, too.

 

[B.J.]

I went with a redesign of the Scorpio class corvette. Movie-era design, approximately the same length as a Danube class runabout. Armament befitting a corvette, with phaser cannons in the wing root, and a single large torpedo launcher on the dorsal hump. Small warp nacelles embedded in the wings for short quick hops for system defense, but large overpowered impulse engines for maneuverability. What looks like a cruciform tail is an early warning sensor suite.

Final call for entries (or extension requests), I'll aim to put the poll up in ~20 hours.


And I'll hopefully add the finishing touches to my entry in time, too.

And here is my entry.


A spruce up of the Tactical/Battle Armor from FASA's TNG Officer's Manual taking some inspiration from SNW and Disco designs.
