Here is a little something that I finally had to do.
I give you my take on what I see as what the bridge of the Titan
might look like.
I have gone with a blending of the Ent-D and Ent-E Bridges with a little
Of Voyagers.
Also they have described in the novels that the Bridge does have a slope
from the upper to the lower sections. I left the describe railing on the
upper section off.
While creating this I also decided to create the I.S.S version for my Dark
Mirror Universe fans.
*Note* This is by no means the official design, unless the powers that be
Over at Simon & Schuster or even CBS decide to adopt it.
Hint, Hint Marco...
Enjoy.

P.S. I will correcting the USS Titan Moto shortly it has been pointed out to me that i used the incorrect one. But I am
going to keep my I.S.S. Versions though.
To see more of my Dark Mirror work head over to http://stourangeau.deviantart.com.

that is really a nice design!!
-
DUDE!
I was thinking of the EXACT SAME THING the other day, for the Mithra!!!!
This bridge should TOTALLY do this bridge for BC!
-Aeries.
Edit: No, I'm not joking either. All the basic elements are the same... kinda creepy. Though don't you think this would be more suited for the Bridges forum? Just a thought. ;)
-
WHOA a sov/galaxy hybrid bridge design very cool
-
Well thats definitely what i would have said the bridge would look like very similar to the galaxy refit 3rd era recently released probably wouldn't take much to re texture and modify the model as opposed to starting from scratch but then again my modding experience is virtually non existent.
However i also believe thats the first Imperial bridge we've seen since TOS so that would effectively set the standard in mirror bridge textures which are cool.
although Dr Tourangeau isnt Titan's plaque the vulcan IDIC Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations? :P
-
I will be fixing that shortly, but the Imperial moto will stay as it is.

Wow, lovely bridge, seems like Riker would be right at home there. Now, if only we had a Titan for this bridge. >_>

Ditto that. We do kinda lack a Titan... :/
-
WOW this looks really interesting. We do have Generations Ent-D and Nem Sov bridge thanks to 3rd Era, If there would be someone who could edit ent-d bridge and replace helm consoles chairs and add some pillars we would have all new shiny bridge :D
If you need help with texturing such bridge when model is ready, count me in :D

You mean a better design than the so called official one? lol
But I do love the design of this bridge :)

No. I mean a Titan. There was, once upon a time, a Titan being produced for BC somewhere in the modding forums. It hasn't been completed yet, so far as I know... and I don't know what people don't like about it... I like the Titan. Anyways, back on topic...
I do love the way the different bridges kinda mold together here into a single, really futuristic design. It looks great, and I can totally picture it as a bridge we'd see in a movie. :) Looks great.

the only thing is, who will be able to build it?
the 3rd era team are not taking requests, and this is more or less a request for it to be built i take it?

It's actually not that hard, as I said somebody would have to port sov pillars, chairs and consoles and voila the rest(texturing) I could handle myself :D
-
You will need to do the lightmapping, animations as well
-
It's actually not that hard
ya think? lol :P
as I said somebody would have to port sov pillars, chairs and consoles and voila
somehow i think it would involve more than just that... of course, Mark would know...
porting all those things onto the Gen Gal Bridge, i dunno - it just seems like that would be a huge deal...
that, of course, would be the only way to do it... unless a whole new bridge was to be built from scratch, but that within itself would be a major deal too...
-
Here are my next bridge designs. Since I had a few requests to a full Galaxy Class Refit design, here they are.
I give you the Command Decks of the I.S.S. Enterprise from the Dark Mirror Universe,
And the U.S.S. Challenger Commanded by Geordie Laforge.

I like the last one a lot.
Edit: Maybe, if you're inclined, you could try leaving out the consoles around the captain's chair and on the sides of tactical on the normal version of the Galaxy refit. It makes the bridge look a little cluttered, but works great on the mirror bridge, where you'd expect extra "starship bling."

It's unfortunate that I've got so much going in life right now as it is; I can barely keep my mind on the Mithra. Otherwise, I would be perfectly willing to take on one of these bridges as my first bridge/max project. I don't imagine it would be TOO hard to get portions of other bridge models into the generations galaxy bridge... I think the main trick would be animating everything. I don't know that much about it yet, but from what i hear, that's where the real challenge comes in. :/
In any case, I'd be hyped if the Titan bridge in particular got started. It really does look just as I'd imagined the Mithra. then again, the two are extremely similar, so... :P
Best luck to you!
-Aeries.
-
hopefully someone decide to do the bridge. :P i went to the web site and seen the uniform concept of the terrain empire and love it im gonna look more into it and migth consider making a uniform mod.
-
You know, the refit Galaxy bridge could work as the bridge for the Venture in my series. There's a line in the first story that reads:
Though it was similar to the standard bridge used on Galaxy-class ships, there were many refinements and enhancements done to it as part of the last refit, including upgrades of the consoles, chairs, computer systems, and some stylistic changes to bring the Venture more in line with the newest vessels in Starfleet.
Just could use a couple tweaks, but then again, it'd be the Venture bridge, not the Challenger's bridge.
-
Here is a quick update with the Ent-D and Challenger bridges.
I have fixed a few problems mentioned to me and also taken a few suggestions in account with the Challenger bridge. So here are the new images.

That's it, that's the Venture's bridge right there. I'm picturing the crew getting tossed about and consoles exploding already.

'Tis a beautiful image, is it not? 8)

im going out on a limb saying this, but i personally think it would be cool if the ISS bridges captian chair was different from the rest of the bridge crew. knowing how the captians like to show their power in the mirror universe. But i could try making a retexture of the soverign bridge if you want. who knows it might not turn out half bad
-
As many of you Remember the Ares was the first ship I design after the Titan Contest, so it is only fitting that I create the Bridges as well.
Here they are. Plus can anyone guess which movie I snagged the motos from?
And Yes I did use the Bridge of the Promethes (Sp) as a base for this design.

is it from 300, and if you could draw up some floor plans, i'll have a go at the model

No Floor Plans as of yet i just finished these today.
as for the Moto - T2 and Karate Kid

Sorry to sound like a pain, but Sean, you're drawing those over studio sets photos, right? i think i can even spot the right pictures.

Yes I used a set photo of the Prometheus for the base layout for the illustration. I never said I didn't. Is there a problem???
-
not a problem, but something a little more original would be cool
-
Just a thought Sean on the Titan Bridge, I had a little re-read of the description of Titan's Bridge in Taking Wing and to get it a little more accurate (as accurate as an artistic interpretation can get) remove the consoles from the XO and Counselor's seats as the book describes them as fold away units probably similar to Voyagers or Picards seat on the Ent D.
Also The ceiling should probably be similar to that of the sovereign class rather than the galaxy since the description (vague as it is) states its similar but smaller. :?:
-
The bridges are nice, although I would love to see other ideas.
-
does bridges are amazing

Henrie, please do not resurrect old threads, if there is something new to add that is relevant then the author will update.
DT, I deleted your post.

Long time no post on this forum, so here is what I have been up to lately.
Here is a quick concept for a new class of Dark Mirror Universe Light Frigate. I call this a Lancer Class Frigate.
I will hopefully flush this into a vector image in the next coming months. It is a little different than some of my Starship designs, hopefully you all will like it.

Over at Trekbbs.com there is a thread about the U.S.S. Aventine captained by Ezri Dax. And in that thread a bunch of us where wondering what it may look like.
So here is a few of my Conjectural Concept Images for the U.S.S. Aventine. Enjoy.

As most you know , I have been trying to get in with the folks over at IDW. They have given me
a sample script to work with, but since I recently moved from one house to another, I haven't
really had the time to work on the new samples.
But I had an idea, so I came up with this. I wanted to see
what A Titan Comic Cover might look like so I drew this up.
I wanted it to have the same kind of feel as that of the novels that are out.
Ellery was kind enough to send me
a few shots of the Titan with out any background to work with. So here is what I
came up with. I may do a few more
with different crew members as the focus.

Looks like Riker's been working out and using Rogaine! :P Some very nice work Sean.

he kind of reminds me of Obiwan from the Clone wars cartoon

Here are some screen caps from Star Trek Federation One - 101 - Unity from Hidden Frontier.
As some of you may remember I was asked to design the main Starship for this project, so I figured I would get some
screen caps from the first episode of the series.

Some of the Conjectural images of the Aventine look alot like the Selfridge-A that came with the Slipstream Framework. But the 3D mesh images look alot better so I'll just satre at those ones for awhile and drool...:D
-
They remind me of the STo trailer.

That as well. They look fab. They fit in perfectly.

Here is my Dark Mirror take on the U.S.S. Kelvin from the forth coming J.J.Abrams Trek movie. I have decided to blend the
TMP era with the JJ-Trek Era for my take on the Kelvin.

Here is a tighter concept drawing of the Lancer Class Frigate that I am about to start on.
And Yes from the front and side she looks a little like a BSG Viper. On my original sketch it was supposed to be aviper and turned into this. The nacells expand out when in warp and retract when in sublight.

Here is another design that I sketched up while looking at on of my star Wars Titanium ships. (Droid Fighter) and from almost every angle
I looked at it I saw a starship minus the nacelles, So the Spartan class Heavy Cruiser was born.

I love the thought of a Federation Viper, and your spartan looks remarkably like one of the ship designs for ST:O.

Here is the Black and White line work for the Dark Mirror Universe Titan Comic Cover that I am working on to go
with my U.S.S.Titan Cover I did a while back.
Like the other the final will be full cover and will have the
I.S.S. Titan below the Evil Captain Riker.
Enjoy

I am doing $10-$15 Commissions over on deviantart and here is the pencil work for my second commission for Kclcmdr from the Deviantart forums (his first commission was of Supergirl).
This time it was requested that I draw Empress Hoshi Sato.
It was to be a full color marker Commission, but I like how this is going so I will ink
and digitally color her with her on the Bridge of the Defiant.

If I could, I'd reccomend you for a position making pictures for the SotL Calendar as well as cover art for the novels. Unfortunately, I can't as I don't work for either. But, I would if I could. That is how good your work is.
