finally got over my artists block and drew my first ship. I probably will draw other views soon..
note: cam distorted the image, I will try and buy a functional scanner/printer thing soon. if you stretch the image a bit, it will look more like the real deal. comments are welcome.

Sweet, an intrepided/ nubula :thumbsup: Cookie :thumbsup:

Update, more details added and slight style changes.. Nacelle has more TMP flair, and I added a small pod under rollbar which will have either a phaser array for the tactical version ( the one with weapons pod which this one has) or sensor array (science/recon version). I didn't draw any phaser arrays or RCS thrusters, sensor pallets etc since I'm not exactly sure about the ideal placements. Next, Ventral, dorsal, fore and aft views..

I think if you lose the bridge module and turn the saucer into a cabin then at those proportions you have a nice long range shuttle.
-
Got bored so fleshed it out
-
Oh my. That's actually pretty good idea. Perhaps this ship could have a couple small shuttles like that one.. hmm.. type X or XI? :D
-
Oy, friends and foes.. I need a swift kick in my artistic arse to get this thing rolling again. :P
-
BOOT TO THE HEAD *THUMP*
there you go!
-
Gee, thanks! :funny
-
*continues drawing for a chance, fore view under progress* :evil
-
Wants some more of this mate!
-
I'm working on it, but 86F inside my apartment isn't helping my concentration! :(
I'm trying to do the front view, but now I'm thinking that it should be front/aft, split in the middle because I'm a lazy bastard.. opinions?
-
Try to use the type(class2) or type 11 as a reference point to make it, like i did with my ship( have a look in wip ship designs)
-
I'm still not sure if it'll be a shuttle or not. Sure, it would make a kick-ass shuttle, but I'm going to try to thin k it as a proper ship.. However, should it become a shuttle, it WILL make Delta Flyer look like powerwheels compared to a real car. :evil:
-
Hehe but try to make the weapons/ sensorpod a bit bigger. It looks a bit strang now.
-
Well, it is supposed to be a Nebula-like multitasking Swiss army knife with some MacGyver-abilities.. Just smaller. But I'll try it out to see how it looks like.
-
I know, quality is bad, but it gives you a rough idea.. :hithead: harder than I thought, drawing all views.. :banghead:
-
This is why I gave up on my Continental Class LOL
I don't have the drafting designs of well, pretty much every Trek designer out there :P
You're not doing a bad job though! Keep it up!
-
I shall. I just have to get it JUST RIGHT. :hithead:
-
awesome need this!
cant wait to see more sketches.
-
One of the things I do that really helps me to visualize them is stop looking at the paper or computer in front of you, stand up, and imagine it in front of you, in the air, flying around your house like that one episode of DS9 with the miniature runabout. I usually go full six-year-old and run through the hallways making whooshing sounds too. :P
-
this promptly gets you REALLY strange looks, as I normally use that method as well
-
It helps to have parents who understand that you're a complete nerd. Don't know about you married fellas though. :P
-
well, I do have model planes so I'm familiar with that method. I can "see" the vessel in front of me, but it's reluctant about being trapped on the paper.. :idk: :banghead:
-
Holy snap, I just realized I responded to a bump after a year of inactivity. Hope you don't mind. :funny
-
not at all, I need a kick to my artistic arse again and this might well be it :funny

Just a WIP doodle.. Has already changed a bit from this. I was thinking of BoP-like pylon arrangement for the nacelles. Feedback? Ideas? Suggestions? Bueller? Bueller? :idk:
-
No-one gives a damn, eh? :dontcare:
-
that's cause it's not a Physical model AND you haven't finished it quite yet. finish it up, first.
least YOUR idea dosent look like a squid!
