[QUOTE]Originally posted by Bernd: [QB] [QUOTE]Eavesish signature features can be easily spotted if you stick the following designs together in one picture: the Enterprise-E, the various Son'a ships, The Jemmie Superbattleship, the bloodsuckers from "Fight or Flight," the Malurian ship from "Civilization," and some of various sketches of the Breen ship we saw in the Star Trek communicator. There's a certain sharp-edged agressively-swept quality to all of them. There's also the recurrant theme of a central core smoothly merging into wings rather than having them be defined add-ons a la Klingon ships. This is even somewhat true of the freshening of the Excelsior model as well. Now, this isn't a criticism, per se. It's just interesting to see a Trek illustrator with a distinct "look" in much the same way that a Picasso or a Monet is immediately recognizable. I don't think recurrant Sternbachian features are as easy to spot, for instance.[/QUOTE]I agree. The problem of most Eaves designs (but only in comparison with each other) is that he always seems to start from a similar sickle or wing shape. Instead of adding recognizable components like nacelles, sensor arrays, a bridge or habitation pods, he only adds some sort of fractal complexity (and usually takes this too far). [/QB][/QUOTE]
