As I mentioned in my fic's thread, here is a simple illustration of the side view of my USS Enterprise-A in which I have been working for the past few weeks. I will work later on the front and dorsal views, the pattern of Aztec decals, and I'll also add some lights and shadows to improve the visual aspect (I might also increase the resolution for further detail). Also, some elements of this view will be retouched as I go working in the other ones. Made in Photoshop and inspired by hundreds of fan designs, many of them on this web, with the idea of establishing a "bridge" between the vessels seen in the new films and the old ones.
As you will notice by the heights of the windows and other decals, I made this vessel with a simple deck linement in mind. Since there are 36 of them (with 4m between each deck, with enough space for everything like the Enterprise-E and the Defiant), and adding the nacelles, the total height would be about 160m, and considering that I maintained the approximate 1/5 proportion of the JJPrise (the original is about 1/4, I guess I like more the "elongated" variant), the total length would be around 720m, being a little smaller than the supposed JJPrise size, although with a more consistent design.
On the saucer rim, I added a series of external sensors (two circles) and shields emitters (8 smaller circles, scattered along the entire ship). In the neck, I added a central shield generator, taking power directly from the warp core (notice its location by the darker color strip). The protrusion on the secondary hull cylinder responds to the location of advanced phasers cannons, since this ship was designed considering that the USS Vengance introduced some technological advances that are respected in this version.
You will also notice the particular style of the nacelles, some sort of middle point between the Vengance and the original Refit Enterprise, in line with the JJPrise. The six black squares on deck 3 belong to countermeasures (the Vengance has something similar, though made for torpedoes). The additional phasers banks respond to the more aggressive instance taken in this vessel's design. For more background details, please read my fic

I hope you liked it. Any comments would be appreciated.
