I can remember a few years back when folks here were designing the Antares from the Concordance, and I loved Reverend's stab at it. Now the ASDB has a bunch of schematics of the final design and the eventual refit you collectively came up with. Which is all fine and dandy...but there's no profile view of the TOS version! Does anyone (most likely the Rev) have an image saved of the TOS version's profile??

Ok, it took a bit of digging but I finally fond the original Antares diagrams on an old backup disk dating back to 2003! Plans- WARNING, Large file! And an as yet unreleased image of the revised rear view dating back to october '04. aft view I've not done ANY trek art in something like 18 months and I'd forgotten half these designs existed.
If there's enough interest I may make time to finish this off.

What I want to see is a finished refit version. I don't think I have the WIP files in my ASDB folder anymore.... it was oh so long ago (on another computer, even).

I'm starting to remember why I stopped doing this stuff. ;-) I think everything I finished for the refit is up on the ASDB site. I don't think I ever got around to doing a fore or aft view.

Yeah, I think, Rev, that you're wasting your singular talents by being a mere stay-within-the-lines colorer. You're a born trek draftsman and designer!
Also, most of us are working/studying stiffs. No excuse.

But I do the lettering too! And I put in funky, scary the glowy eyes and magical effects (outside the lines too! ooooooh!) Plus I get to write all the witty comebacks and pratfalls!
Seriously though, after a while big lumps of metal with blinking lights all start to look the same to me. Plus there didn't seam to be much interest in the more utilitarian designs (like the Brunel, Deneva & the tugs) that I enjoyed doing. Comic book colouring was a nice change and a new challenge and I've learnt LOADS on that gig. Also it offers a better chance at getting to do computer graphics as a job instead of a hobby. Having said that I did get contacted by the Star Trek Online people, but that didn't come to anything.

Technically it's not my design, it's my illustration of someone else's drawing. The only bit I "designed" was the ventral side and the deflector pod. I've actually seen someone else try it with just an FJ style boom deflector.
