Starship Atlantis

This is the Starship Atlantis.

The inspiration was an old model I had of the Enterprise C that was half-built and missing her engines 'cuz they were lost during a move. I also had the engines of an Enterprise E layin' around, and just like Reese's peanut butter cups, I put 'em together.

I used to think that Sternbach's C was a clunky graceless design, but paired with long engine nacelles, it's actually a very graceful & lovely hull.

So this is my take on the Ambassador class, had I been the production designer.

It more looks like another refit of the old Constitution class.

Have you used parts from a couple of different drawings in there as there seems to be a big difference in quality between the different parts? The bridge in particular looks like it's from another sketch. If you have and it's not your drawing you should credit the original artist. If it is yours then I'm assuming you are going to tidy up the rest of the ship to the same quality level once the design is finalized?

My random WIP thread which includes some hints and tips on modelling which _may_ be useful for the link above...!

Yeah it looks like a scematic kitbash :/

Though its an interesting shape. Really use this as a base to trace and build your own schimatic... youll love yourself more for it.

It ISN'T a kitbash. Maybe I'm just a crappy artist.

I wouldn't say that. If the rest of it is going to look as polished as the bridge section then it should come out very nicely. Which application are you using to draw this?

Paint Shop Pro, sadly.

I'm looking at dropping the dough to buy a drawing program.

And, I'm attempting to teach myself how to use Maya so I can finally dabble in 3-D.

Oh ell, when I look to what other can make out of PaintShopPro, I'm sure you'll get that also done with a bit of training.......

Very nice looking.

Keep in mind, not all things are beautiful. For some reason people think the A-10 ugly. Poor A-10.
