Contest: ENTER June Art Challenge - World Buildings

[Starscape]

Well, the TrekBBS is back up and running after it's refit, but the Art Challenge is in need of a little boost. So, to get the contest back in motion I'll post this month's challenge thread and the winner of May's Challenge, which is running a little behind, can host the voting thread if they so wish.

To that end...

Welcome to the 227th TrekBBS Fan Art Challenge and June's Theme, which was chosen by vote, is:

World Buildings
Dust off your set square and set up your drafting board. Show us some of the Trek buildings we never got to see. What does the Temple of T'Panit look like? Where does the Department of Temporal Investigations hang up their clock? How about Station Salem-One prior to the attack? What did Zefram Cochrane High School look like when Geordi attended it? Or create your own building for your favorite species' education, business, religion, etc.

So we enter a world of Bricks and Mortar, Duranium and Stembolts. And if designing a whole buidling feels a little too intimidating, how about limiting it to just one wing, an entrance, a portico, quadrangle or cloister?


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 sport the “Art Challenge Winner” badge below their name for the following month and has the honor of hosting June's challenge. You can help to choose June's Theme from a list of suggestions by voting in the poll here.

You have until the end of the 1st July to post your final entries here.

If you have any questions, suggestions, or need more time, just let me know.


Looking forward to seeing your art. Have Fun!

4 days left! Does anyone have an entry they're working on?

 

[blssdwlf]

Unfortunately work is consuming all my time

 

[B.J.]

I've tried repeatedly diving into Memory Alpha to get some inspiration, but haven't come up with anything.

 

[Laura Cynthia Chambers]

We could continue to run this one alongside July's if anyone wants, or keep the idea in reserve for later use.

 

[Cyfa]

I have something! It's not what I intended (as time seems to have escaped me once again), but I'll have a finished piece this weekend

 

[B.J.]

So, I'm guessing we need to extend a bit...

 

[Laura Cynthia Chambers]

Would a week be sufficient? I feel like this theme still has great potential.

 

[Starscape]

It usually gets better results to ask how long people need to finish what they're working on rather than extending in hope of more entries. Anyone?


I had a last minute, new, idea over the weekend, Dr. Noah's Mount Everest base in "Our Man Bashir" was just crying out for an establishing shot, alas we never got one.

There's not much of a clue as to what the outside might look like from the sets other than the Art Deco-ish windows, so I ran with that... in a very quick entry:

Mindblowingly cool idea! I wish I would have thought of that!

I have an idea what to do for my entry but could use another day or two.

~ Like @Michael, I wish I'd thought of it too! I love it!

I doubt I'll have time this week to tinker any more with my entry so I'll post it now: The Twisted Towers of the Calaten Peninsula on Orodanga, home planet of the Ithenites (according to Stardate magazine, I think?).

 

[Michael]

Thanks for giving me another couple of days! I just spent the night creating this in Adobe Dimension. What’s wrong with me?

Alidar Jarok’s home near the Apnex sea on Romulus …

Anyone else still working on something? If not, I think we should get the voting going.

 

[Cyfa]

Sod Orodanga. Why aren't I living on Romulus?

 

[Starscape]

Cool choice of subject, @Michael, very atmospheric. Now that's a room with a view.

 

[Starscape]

It doesn't look like we're getting any more entries.

So, @B.J. do you want to post the voting thread? Just let me know if there are any problems with that.
