TrekCentral deleted the tweet, I wonder if those posters weren't meant to go out yet

If that's how the models actually look in the show now, I'm not sure if I like them as much as I did before.
They seem to be rendered differently in the season 2 trailers compared to season 1, but not at that level of detail.

The ships in the posters were probably rendered by marketing, not the show team.

I am still not sure... Are these some of the Titan novel series characters?
They're not. At least, I don't think so.

No, they are not. In the novels, the XO was Christine Vale, a blonde female human. The Chief Engineer was Xin Ra-Havreii, an Efrosian. The Security Officer was Ranul Keru, a Thrill. So the characters don't see to match the poster at all.
 
I don't know about these. They are getting to a point where the detailing and realism of the ship models doesn't match the minimalism and cartoonishness of the character designs. If that's how the models actually look in the show now, I'm not sure if I like them as much as I did before.
Honestly, the model work on the ships is completely different than the characters that I would be highly surprised if the same models were used in the show.
 
Good catch! Considering the stylized nature of the artwork, I tend to ignore things like that, but that is an interesting find. Now I have to wonder if the LD gray areas are also quilted like their FC/DS9 contemporaries, considering we know they have them but they just chose to leave out that small detail.
 
That's what I meant when I wrote 'ribbed' XD
I checked some S1 screenshots though, and there they look different, with the LD shoulders being darker.
 
it was probably an optical illusion. The bright colours next tot the dark shoulders making it seem darker than it is.
 
Yeah, the Lower Decks unis are clearly meant to evoke the Next Gen ones. Plus they look black on all the licensed merch I've seen.
