Thank you guys! I’m humbled!
I’ve added a larger 1920x version so you can see more of the detail. Yeah I had a lot of fun with this one; my inner child was most pleased
I used to draw trek all the time as a kid and what I really used to love was the painted covers you’d get on the front of the novels and that’s partly why I decided to do this (that and the Prog ;P ).
I used to find all the interpretations of the various starships really intriguing; sometimes the primary hull would be too thick, maybe too many windows etc, but I found all these discrepancies quite charming. As a kid before the internet was around and the postal service took four dog years to deliver a parcel within the same country these covers were sometimes the only connection I had with a larger trek world.
I think the cover for Prime Directive was the first time I saw the original grey lady; you could see all the hull plates, which was obviously artistic license, but that’s why I love em.
ANYWAY, enough rambling, I sound like an old man...back int day when i’d havta travel fer 3 hours up hill int’o valley te werk down mine.
Later! And thanks again; means a lot to have other people enjoy what I do!
