Some of us on on dial-up. This graphic really benefits from gif compression as do most line-art graphics without blends or gradients.

1. The software I use is proprietary, not off-the-shelf, not really marketed for what I'm using it for. The name wouldn't help you.
2. As for Dat's idea of a lineage based on the Akyazi. I saw the similarity too, but it seems to end with the simple inspiration of the demi-saucer. After all, the Akyazi is not a canon design, whereas the Daedalus and Akira are.
3. When I made the demi-saucer, the easiest interpretation was the straight cut-off. The screen grabs are not too awfully helpful, as we don't get a top-down wide shot from which to gauge that plane. I don't want to infer forms based on what we'd like to see there, or a bad angle. That's also why the back of the saucer on the aft view, and the connecting dorsal on the side view are devoid of details, because we really don't know what's there.
4. Point taken about the GIF format.
5. I'm working on the ventral view.

I think people (including me) were just suggesting that you would like Illustrator for this kind of work.
I'm almost positive there's a shot from the new Ent ep with the Intrepid that shows a good aft view. I know it was posted here not too long ago.

I imagine the Intrepid to be about 180 meters long, based on the size I used of the saucer. Five 3 meter decks, with one shuttlepod bay about the same as that of the NX-01.
I moved the impulse engines to the edges of the saucer, for two reasons:
1. They couldn't be where I had them before, as there is visual evidence to the contrary,
2. There is a small glow in one of the screen caps I've seen that looks much like impulse exhaust.
