disks in space!

Like star wars where triangles flow in space.

Falcon was a saucer

Falcon was a spork!

I liked both ships. ;)

Best of both words.

I did like how they had the engines have some moving parts in this movie.

The original ship had them too (twirling lights on the bussard collector)

Not the same way, the new ship had parts towards the back that flexed out when they went into warp.

*admits he hasn't noticed that and goes into hiding*

Go watch the movie and check out the nacelles. :)

seen it twice!

Me too! The future looks nice and shiny. n_n

This is a good pic, too, I immediately knew what I was looking at from the thumbnail.

YOU NOTICED TOO!!! I was like WTF is up with all this HUGE crap in the Enterprise?! I like the exterior for the weapon 'blisters' as that was pretty cool, but the rest of it... *Shakes head* Too much crap for what the old 1701 was spose to be... Just felt.... Fat?

Yup the biggest hit to me was that stupid warpnacelle support pylon which faced backwards. Destroying the feel of a bit aerodynamic eat-lest.

I never noticed that... I was just like.. What the hell is this crap? It looked like the inside of a Damn...

Yup uglly it is. Like the dam idea.

*nods* Yeah.. Alot of it was cool, but the inside made me want to kill things. Like the Kelvin... WTF man!! Where the hell did they store all those shuttles?!

And the engineering interior.. wtf, space brewery? Way too big, also.

Wow, this is beyond awesome! You outdid yourself, as you always do! ^^

Thank you, I just did what I always do tough.

And you did an amazing work, as always! ^^

I think in this one, Star Fleet was more of a military then what we know it of.
I think the Kelvin was more of a cruiser, where the Enterprise is more of a battle ship

Yes and the Kelvin was a solid cruiser, and the Emterprise looked like a luxury hip whit all those glichy glass stuff. A battle ship is not supposed to look like a millioner yacht from the inside. Even it engine room was filled with glass. :P What if something brokers. Not to mention that the whole engineering deck is onne huge atmosphere, if that part get a leak the whole lower part of the ship suffocate. Where did Paramount put hes mind?

They maybe wanted to make the ship look more realistic, they where STILL using Nuclear power, alot of StarFleet ships prior to the NX-01 used Nuke power for thier warp drives....hell the Phonix was a converte tactical nuclear missile!
I do belive they wanted to make the Enterprise look new and better, while the other ships where baised off the older sea fering warships

Looks awesome, LZ.

Thank you. :3

Enterprise from the new movie?

Kelvin form the New movie, the New movies Enterprise is a big joke.

the're going down fight damnit XD
kudos to them
make them pay for your own destruction XD
woot lol

very well done ^^

Yeah they gonna pay.

So terrified?

Oh wow, very awesome job on this piece, you did a wonderful job putting in all of that detail.

:3 I could have done more but onyl this fit into the screen.

If you want to remain true to the movie, you need to add some lens flare. LOTS of lens flare. Blindingly distracting lens flare. ^.~

Maybe next time.

That's going on my desktop

That's good to know, if i lose it I know where to find it.

Jó!
Ez tetszik.
Ha Star Trek rajongó vagy ,vagy csak érdekel,akkor nézd meg a Finn Star Wreck c. paródiafilmet.
A technikája az eredetivel vetekszik,mégis egy amatőr munka,ami szinte el is felejtődik miközben nézed.

Oh yeah, just one more thing. The film "Star Trk" directed by J.J. Abrams was 1,000 times more interesting than any Trek film Johnathan Frakes directed.

I agree.

Awesome work

Thanks.

Gee. Here I thought I was the only person who didn't like the so-called 'reboot.'

Yep I liked the old universe better.

I was always more a fan of enterprise the series it looked more like things would be if we actualy got out there :p very cool pic

Yep that's right. Thanks.

been watching the progression with this
excellent work really damn good work an i agree new glassy enterprise = Fail

Yep. Epic fail.

Yeay! The Kelvin is my new favorite star trek ship, so this made my day!

As far as the new enterprise goes, I think they thought the audience was idiots. As in, make the good guys's ship look like shining white and angelic brightness and the bad guys black spikes and demonic darkness. So we wouldn't be confused. :p

Yes that's true, they like to grab the romulans as black evil demons, just like in the last two movies.

As I understand it, the Enterprise is the newest ship in the fleet in the movie. It had all the newest stuff and so it was going to look more like an "Apple store". I didn't mind that since everything was where it should have been on the ship.

The main screen... uhm... window was the biggest "that's so cool" and "WTF?" to me. the Window was a transparent monitor. Remember "Transparent aluminum", basically Star Trek "super glass". The stuff still cracks and I had to wonder why there are battle shutters for that window at least. Personally I don't mind that it is a window, but it just "a bit" more vulnerable than having 10-20 feet of ship between the bridge and open space.

Also I read a couple of your comments and yes the the nacelle pylons look strange. They are too close together and too upright. But other than that, I though the ship is gorgeous. Only the nacelle pylons keep the ship from being as perfect as the Enterprise refit in the first six movies.

Yep well you got point it transparent aluminum glass windows don't sound like a life insurance. I still think that the new ship was to bright.

Correction: "...why there are NOT battle shutters for that window at least."

I get what you are saying about the bridge being "too bright". You aren't the only one to say that. But then a lot of people complained about the Enterprise-D having too bright and casual looking a bridge... and the rest of the ship. Those complaints persisted and that's why Voyager, and other Trek ships, had that cold, hard, military look where they all should have had a much more casual, Warm, and comfortable look. But the Enterprise D is the ship you really wanted to be on long term. I find that the JJA Enterprise is ship where I would want to be, not as much as the D, not just visit for a couple hours.

Also using the Ent-D as the archetype, the JJA Enterprise precedes the wall mounted panels and screens throughout he ship, a feature not much used later in the series, and being absent in other ships after ST:NG, used the strangely familiar very high tech touch screens and transparent screens, though still lacked the wall mounted screen though out the ship. I would not be surprised at a JJA version or inspired vision of ST:NG using holography much more frequently throughout the ship. Solid screens being almost unheard of in the 24th century.

Would love to close those shutter like I can in Mass Effect 2. :D The Kelvin design has a little feel to that, the view screen is not transparent until they polarise it. So it was like OMG it not a wall, it's a window, and for that it gave the feeling that is strong enough.
Yeah I agree the enteprise D wall mounted screen where amazing in the very first episode where they lead Riker to the holodeck, look very helpful. A holographic version of that would be sure interesting.

You know my fav bridge of all times Excelsior bridge, when Hikaru Sulu got hes coffee on hes own desk, that was comfortable. And it looked bright enough to me, not so military. Tough I love the whole ship as it is so no surprise in that that I think that was the best interior design I ever saw to. Shame that it was so dark and destroyed in ST Elit Force 2, rely didn't had the mood as it was in that few min from the movie.

I would have to say that my favorite isn't Star Trek, or even Star Wars. It is in a CG Comic called Sinkh. The alien ship's bridge was a spherical bubble with eh entire out wall as the screen. It was like being a god floating in space without seeing the ship itself. Obviously the collective visual information of a comprehensive array of sensors. The bridge posts were platforms made to appear as if floating free in space.

It is a concept I have yet to see done that well if at all in any other Sci-fi.

Yeah, it was a much, much better design than that train wreck enterprise.

:D Ugyvan.

One of the weirdest looking ships in sci-fi erm..Starfleet...XD

The narada was weirder like a flying bird nest of evil.

If you say,but Borg cube tops all

Awesome drawing.. Am pretty heavily into Star Trek as well, was a good movie. Though I always found the one nacelle ships a bit off actually.

Yep kinda weird but this vessel has a moderate one.

well i'll be someone else out there who knows of the Akula class. *laughs* i'm not alone in the furdom! *happy dance* sorry i just remember talking to Steamfox once about the akula as he is a decent star trek fan and he looked at me with a dumbfound look. then again this is missing the second engine for an Akula... that and the 'deflector dish' set up should be the torpedo launchers if it was *laughs*

anyway i am not gonna complain on the new ship vs the old ones as meh *shrugs* i like almost all star trek. and this is an amazing rep of a ship that was to be honest given very little screen time. for that i give you a thumbs up. though my only real question of this picture is during the battle with the Nerada i through the Kelvin was alot more ... busted up then what you show here. bigger holes in the hull sections missing etc. but oh well

and i wish to ask have you read the star trek comic that happens just after the fight between the Kelvin and the Nerada. :) i own it. very different kinda corny in some parts but different.

I meet the Akula first in Klingon Academy where it was fed's common destroyer. Yep one sourcer torpedo launcher and two engine. The Kelvin works fine for what it meant to be. I tough would find place for a torpedo launcher somewhere to.

At the end it started to fall apart. I chosed the moment where they just start to evac the ship. And doing damages are time consuming work. I think around 50 hole is enough for me.

I don't read any trek comic.

true true do have a point. damage effects i can only imagine the trouble doing em. as for torpedo launchers only place i can think of is if we base this off the Akula slam it where the AKula's deflector dish was *points to the very front of the saucer section* used to be right there. could work for launchers too i suppose.

as for the comics i own the "nero comic' which is suppose to take place right after this scene and before the Nerada comes back to get Spock. and in that comic it explains that the sudden massive damage from the Kelvin's warpcore explosion crippled the Nerada for years. and that she was captured by the Klingons while crippled.

ended up while the romulan crew was Aroa penta(sp) they trid to reverse tech the nerada *chuckles* ended up when the ship 'woke up' as its explained the ship is kinda alive like V'ger was. it didn't take to well to the Klingon poking and proding and killed everyone of them onboard... violately.

oh and the klingons never successfully found out how to reverse engineer the ship.

Poor Kelvin she was a good ship with all hand safe but 3 crewmembers dead.

FOr such a big ship that was a miracle. Tough I'm not sure only 3 died.

Well from the film scenes the Cpt. of the Kelvin was killed by Neo, the women was sucked out into space by hull breach, Jims father pretected their crew and mother and son.

There were a lot more dead in the intermession people blown up there a lot.

awesome art of the USS Kelvin NCC-0514 of the NuTrek Universe

This ship is somewhat looks like old ship to.

true

SHIELDS COLLAPSING!!!
good drawing
gen Roddenberry would be proud

Yep I hope he would be proud.

I've not seen any art of this before, I'm glad someone here did something. Loved that whole scene :D

I my self also never found a good pic from that battle that's why I draw my own.

Oh shit. You feel that way too? .. I hated the re-imagined enterprise, for all the reasons you've mentioned plus it just looks unbalanced. It looks "okay" from some angles, but for the most part it seems really awkward, overly "chunky" and outright ugly. For some reason, most people just don't care / agree >:C

Also, pretty sure they used a brewery for the engine room.. which that in and of it's self is bothersome to me, both visually and practically.

I just liked the first one better, but if it comes to sta-rtrek my fav ship will always be the excelsior class. I hope they spare me from seeing that ship redesigned with chubby warp drives.

Yep the old engine rooms were better. Just to come up with an example most of the machinery is covered in the factory where I work, for safety.

Excellent rendition of the Kelvin
It's unfortunate that the Kelvin bridge scenes were so fast and hectic. It added to the drama, but we never really got to take a good look at the bridge. Never much cared for the design of the ship it's self though. Since Gene Roddenberry died a lot of his starship parameters have been thrown out the window by ST art designers. Gene specified that Nacelles should always be in pairs, for example.

The "re imagined" 1701 is horrible. When this came out I was hoping that it would be true to the original TOS design with some more detail added by modern visual effects technology. I was sorely disappointed with the abomination they came up with. And yes, the engine room scenes were filmed at a brewery because the spent all their money ruining, er... I mean re designing the bridge.

I'm with you on the Excelsior class, I'd love to see your rendition of one

The Kelvin was a good ship, even we don't get to see much of it. Most of the ship are unknown to us. We only see those ship well who got in a series.

Well I saw a few concept of the enterprise, before they decided, and there all were better to me. I like those the most what resembled something from the enterprise series. Now it looks so that after the nx 01 starship designs have taken 180 degrees turn.

Maybe once in the future.

Oh, that poor girl. Very cool illustration of the scene, rekindles the feeling of intensity and chaos from the battle.

I like the Kelvin, i hate the new Enterprise, a ugly "modern" design...the Kelvin was much more TOS-like. Other things such as the 8-engine-warpcore and the 20th century facility-looking engineroom while the rest of the ship was (to) clean.

horrible.....

but nice picture^^

Hum, you might like this guys work if your interested in a pre-TOS look that isn't designed by the "Lets make the original Enterprise larger than the Ent-E, and fill it with pointless interior features such as the ones Galaxy Quest parodied!" guys.

http://www.starfleet-museum.org/

The guys even nerdier than myself, goes to the point of designing to scale blueprints of his designs, but his work has an internal consistency and fits in with established cannon.

It cool, tough I would like to see a blue print of the kelvin at some point I sure would be disappointed, since in the movie it looked more like an outside factory than a real ship. What was like lol if there would be a leak in the engineering deck they couldn't stop it, one open space from tough many decks, wanna suffocate? What really looked like a ship is the bridge.

Heh, I'll keep my eye open for blueprints of the Kelvin, but I doubt anybody will have made detailed ones - the interior of the ships in the latest film would not fit inside the hulls according to some very nerdy people who are good at calculating that sort of thing.

You know,
startrek online, the game is going free to play right after fc, like the 17th or 19th
if I recall

what software did you use?

PS

oh

i agree the new enterprise was a joke. it looked way to advanced. as for the kelvin i need to reasearch what weapons it had, because i dont know what the blue energy weapon was.

Well those canons were a new weapon to the franchise. The most close to it was the tng mega phaser it was just not as rapid in fire rate.

ohh ok. thanks i was wondering about that

Just a shoot to kill one.

Very Nice

Thanks.
