TAS-style Movie-era Illustrations?

That could be interesting. I often wish that Filmation had revived TAS in 1980 or so, updated to a post-TMP setting. After all, they did sequels/revivals of other shows they'd made, including The New Adventures of Batman, the syndicated Fat Albert revival, and Gilligan's Planet. And Filmation was making its highest-quality shows around that time in terms of animation and music. So not only would it have been an opportunity to get more TMP-era screen stories, but it would've been an opportunity to see an animated Trek with better production values.
Not to mention that TMP seeded all those alien crewmembers in the background. An animated series could've actually developed them as characters and raised their profile.

Would the cast have been affordable after TMP to make a revival/continuation of TAS?
I don't see why not -- Shatner had the highest profile of any of them, and he was still doing television (T.J. Hooker) for another 7 years after TMP...

...of course, the entire question is sort of immaterial to the process of producing some TMP-era TAS-style artwork for the fun of it...
^ Intriguing! Chapel, the most different from TAS, looks nice!
^ Somebody get either IDW, or Cartoon Network and the makers of Archer on the line. This needs to happen. YESTERDAY.

Very NICE!!!!
Thank you, GMSharka,
Though the person (who died in 13 years ago this month) gave the impression his first story took place during the "5 year mission", Paul S. Gibbs wanted M'Ress to wear the "Wrath of Khan" era uniform. So that's what I depicted. So, I thought it fit the discussion. ("ol' timers" here has already seen me post this image, so I'm kinda' surprised I didn't see a post more or less reading, "Oh, no; not again!")
Nice touch giving Chapel the hairstyle she wore in TMP. Everyone remembers Scotty with his moustache, but casual viewers probably didn't register Chapel's more pragmatic fashion.
Sincerely,
Bill

I'll be doing a bunch more of these "TMP-Animated" images -- they're going to be used as site illustration for a project I'll be talking about more in the Fan Productions forum --
I'm looking at doing an audio series -- inspired by the great DOCTOR WHO audios from Big Finish Audio (which includes folks who actually got their start doing unlicensed fan audios), as well as the mid-70s STAR TREK LP releases from Peter Pan/Power Records.
The idea would be to set the series during the second 5-year mission.
Basically, I've been inspired by the folks at STAR TREK CONTINUES, and have decided to use my audio-production chops to produce something which will hopefully be as good.

So I knocked this together:
Not bad!
But Scotty's mustache is the wrong shape, and I dunno what happened to Sulu. He looks all messed up.
Nicely done 
The TAS fan website has a pretty good animated Chekov (now a Lieutenant/Security guard). Maybe they'd be willing to send over a model sheet if asked.
