I've spent my entire life being warned that this was coming and wondering if humanity would see the light and fix the problem before it was too late. Kind of terrifying to realise that we're just about there, if not already past the point of no return.

The two major alien ships introduced in TNG's first season are some of my favourites and I would argue hold up better today than many of the others that followed in terms of originality and refined detailing. The Warbird is a fan favourite but I feel like the Ferengi Marauder is somewhat slept on.

I rediscovered this weird notion in my Romulan ship blend file: The Rommie Connie! It's admittedly a very silly idea, but the more I thought about it the more sense it made. Or at least, the better my justifications sounded to me… 😅

A Romulan version of a Constitution-class starship, using the Bird of Prey shape as the saucer. Proportions are close but almost every detail is different. Heavy WIP model, BTW!Top-down comparisons of the TOS Enterprise, my Rommy Connie and the TOS Romulan Bird of Prey. Plus part of the ring of my current Warbird WIP… Rear angleSide profile. The neck is perhaps the greatest departure, being quite a bit thinner.

Some minor updates to the Schmitz-class Warbird. Mainly windows, hull markings and details on the bum. Enterprise for scale. Bird is 225m in length. I wanted it to feel comparable to the D'deridex-class vs. the Enterprise-D.

Side angle view of the Warbird showing new windows and detail of the connecting strut that wasn't really visible in the earlier shots. My own addition to Rick's design, but it felt necessary to me. The D'deridex has something similar.

As promised! At some point I want to model it in 3-D. I know my illustration is a tad wonky. It's obviously not the best looking ship but I think it was better than the starting point.The version with the Excelsior-style hull was because of the 'parts' available to Starfleet during the Dominion War.

Never seen on screen, but built for the Dominion War scene on deep space.Orthographic drawings of an improved version of the same ship.A picture of the re-fit Merced class in orbit around earth.The same image orbiting earth only this is the version that has a secondary hull from scavenged Excelsior parts

this was gonna be a different character initially, but i've since watched enterprise since i started planning this project, so figured i should add an enterprise character shran is probably my fav in ent that isn't the main crew, also a chance to draw an andorian #startrek #art #thy'lekshran

The front part of the IMIS design would be the Mission Module crew compartment. In front of that were the payloads: three uncrewed probes and the MEM lander behind them. The Mission Module also contained Earth Entry Module for reentry at the end of the mission.
