Oo, I forgot about this thread. Time to promote my frosty chocolate Ent-shake sketch again:
The saucer is certainly bigger, and the engine hull has been plained down a lot. I actually don't mind the sturdier neck, though I could do without the neck wrinkles.
CLB: allow me to butt in here:

I have a hard time telling what's going on in that pic, but now that we have seen the trailer, the saucer is a lot bigger for sure.
I think the nacelle pylons are a bit weird, but it's not as bad as I thought it was from that original pic. It's definitely lacking in some respects. I'm a little confused as to why the new ship lacks any starfleet/UFP markings, for example. And the underside of the saucer looks horribly plain - no landing triangles, no registry, no undercut, no windows...ugh.
The overall shape is certainly growing on me though. The ship looks more like 'one piece' rather than a bunch of parts stuck together - the neck, engine hull, and pylons flow together without sharp break points. I can see the logic of that, though it does make the ship less modular by the same token.

Thought I'd throw in my 2 cents.
Well, just a very basic side-view, others forthcoming. Man this thing is hard to pin down. Nothing seems to line up from one screencap to another. Disregard the odd impulse deck and the stupid looking shuttle bay (placeholders)...
The odd gray lines on the neck and other places are where creases and curving surfaces would be rendered.
I'm wondering if the weird greeble deflector guts actually retract back into the secondary hull "tube"...just looks odd, especially in (attempted) corrected orthos. I wonder if that is like a modern fighter...swing the radome out, pull out the radar rack, and expose the frame and LRU's, cables, etc. I can almost see Scotty floating in space, fixing stuff before the mission begins....?
The Kelvin didn't appear to have "guts" hanging out, while apparently having similar "deflector" structure...

That's pretty sweet.
If you take any non-fan who might see this movie and show it to them (as we have already seen anecdotal evidence of on this board) people will say they basically look the same like the 1701 or 1701A. Its really not all that different. Now that we have some other views from the high res trailer, I think a lot of these early comments on this thread are moot.

If you look at the first image we were given, the ship lacks nearly all markings and the engines have been quoted to be offline at that point, with her picking up several shuttles.
I'm guessing shes rushed into service so yeah, either the deflector isn't fully completed or is not yet fully active. Or it may even just retract for the warp flight mode.

That doesn't seem to be all that secure a facility ...

I love this photo.
Looks like a half-finished John Berkey painting ... I loved Berkey's stuff, but I liked it when it was complete, not looking so much like a painting.
Hold it! This thing is being built on the ground? A vessel that isn't designed to fly in atmosphere and it's being built on the ground?
I love this photo.
If so then chalk up another for dumb-as-shit bit of stupidity.
And people wonder why I have zero faith in this project.
The Enterprise in your own precious TOS flew in an atmosphere just fine in "Tomorrow is Yesterday". Didn't look like it was having any trouble doing so, either.Hold it! This thing is being built on the ground? A vessel that isn't designed to fly in atmosphere and it's being built on the ground?

I was already wondering when your 'painterly'-comments would start...

Yes, like any seafearing vessel this spacefaring ship is being build on land.
It's now established canon.
Here is a knife.
