I can't wait to see what he does now that he's working with the Phase II group.

That is hot right there.
Why do their drydocks have to be fancy looking?
I mean a drydock is a basic structure, why can't it look simple and utilitarian

Right; the Romulan way is doing things ten times harder than it needs to be simply because you can.
Or to borrow from Kirk: "Because it's there."
Beautiful stuff from Mr. Probert once again.
I love it. And really, that doesn't look too outlandish. And it fits the shape and design of the warbird perfectly.
Yeah, it basically seems tailored for the D'Deridex much in the way McKinley Station seems tailored for the Galaxy-Class.
So... that is where the shuttlebays are.

Preeeeeeeeetty.
He did that all with paint, right? That's the amazing part to me.

That was only painted and not Photoshopped later?
Looks simple and utilitarian to me. In fact it's a much elegantly simpler design than most of the federation space docks we have seen.
I think it's just people don't understand clean design thinking. They think it has to look like an oil refinery or it's "too fancy".
The image is from an article about the next SOTL calander. In the discription it said it was painted by hand. Amazing work really.
Yeah, Mr. P does almost all of his images via the good ole fashioned way, I believe. I don't see much evidence of post tweaking, although it's reasonable to assume their might be a color correction here or there. Really, it's all the more reason to admire the man, for doing it what I consider the hard way.
it's painted. If he's color correcting, it's to make the scan match the painting, and that's it.
I wonder what the radiation exposure is when a crew member goes through the engine nacelles to move between the upper and lower hulls. Maybe that's how they keep the engineering teams and ground troops away from the senior officers' mess.
They wouldn't need to go through the nacelles - both upper and lower hulls are attached to the "head".
Very cool design. One has to admire that this was hand painted. Very impressive.
