Human Sci-fi design for a bright future. Mark Rademaker www.hsy.earth

Test render from a few years ago. (USS Sato) Currently a little busy with tiny "near future" hardware. Next week I will start on yacht concept visuals. Both are not Starships, but they do pay the bills and are at least somewhat in the orbit of sci-fi :)

The first image was the moment I realized that the planetary shipyard in the middle of an ocean was not ideal for larger & ring ships. 😂 This is why I'm working on the space dock. It also makes a little bit more sense in terms of my "brand" name. Progress on the space dock is slow but steady. :)

Some test images, from February 2014, of a Spirit class variant. I was alpha testing Moskito renderer by Cebas. These rendered under a minute. (in 2014, on a single mid range GPU.) As I came from "buckets" this was very impressive to me. :)

Lunary Serenity is a hybrid between a Yacht and a Starship. Render and model from 2007. *I'm currently working on a blog/website with a gallery of old and new work, a bio and some information about HSY both in and outside of the or a universe. (Much required for average non Sci-Fi person.) 😀

This month the Merian class will be 15 years old. I'm very confused as I started on it in 2009, but I assume that I then gave priority to Vesta and XCV, to finish the Merian in January 2011. Also one of the latest renders of it, (Strickland variant) from 2024.

Some concept art from Picard (not by me) showing a Vesta class starship on an MSD. I personally would have picked a very different bridge layout, but within the show this would have been a "quick" set redress. That Vesta, (USS Hikaru Sulu) + Captain Harry Kim part was dropped from the story.

Every time my follower count reaches a milestone, some Ferengi trader sends me the same amount of Self-Sealing Stem Bolts, I assume as a cruel joke, just for the shipping fee. (Who else would use 2 containers...) 2131 SSSB's... 🙂 A workbee uses 6. (Six!) Either way, thank you for the follow! :)

*I'm still here but super busy with anything but Science Fiction... argh! :) For 2026 getting structure and improving work/hobby/life balance is going to be the main goal. Meanwhile, here is a slightly barebone image of the USS Carver.

Tiny departure schedule for the dock. (Basically the daily commuting runabout (Pleiades) and some weekly supply/cargo/material shipments by Starfleet.) Still all work in progress but slowly creeping towards a completed dock.

A Vesta class flyby test animation made a few years ago, during the conversion for Picard. I'm not an animator, I primarily do design and modeling and then I run out of will power. 😀 This exact mesh/model is 16 years old. (Finished January 2009.)
