Rough idea for an earlier Romulan warship. Instead of using a complete ring around the ship we could have two segments of a ring. And instead of painting an elaborate bird on the hull (which such a design doesn’t really lend itself to, structural details might suggest something avian.
Yes, after this I will be doing an Earth combat ship of which I already have a generalized idea. And, no, it won’t look like anything from ENT.
Yeah, just the sort of thing us fans would have obsessed over for decades, trying to decipher the blurry images or find reproductions of the original artwork.
I'd like to see an internal cross-section looking straight into the bow / front, to see how wide the decks will be.
I love your concept, its both mighty and sleek at the same time. My only critique I have is the propulsion units, I think it would look less like a pre-exploration ship and more of a battleship if the units was smaller; to differentiate from the interstellar vessels which existed.
A geometric pattern 'suggesting' feathers on top and bottom of the wings, without a whole bird? Essentially making the whole ship 'birdlike', and allowing Stiles' comment of ships painted like giant birds, without it being like the TOS whole bird emblem?
I've already added features to the hull that suggest something avian: the bow suggests a beak, the outboard pods are support by "wings" and there are physical details on the "wings" to suggest feathers as well as elements on the aft section suggesting tail faithers.
