This is the first in a series of starship paintings I'm doing. 1 or 2 will end up being used in my next promo mailer and on my web site when I get it redesigned (assuming I ever get around to it). For now they will serve as decoration for my house
Next up: The Nova Class (coming soon), The Akira Class, and The Olympic Class (coming no time soon)!!

I'll try to post them as I finish them but it's sort of a free time thing and they take, like 30 hours each, so there won't be many more any time soon. The Nova Class only has 5 or 6 hours left on it (who knows when I'll get to put them in) and the Akira Class is just a drawing on paper right now, so who knows?
And. no, this did not come out of a comic. The only reference I used for this piece was a photo I took of my Monogram Voyager model.
The Only other Trek piece I have on my site right now are my Yar and Dax memorials, but they are over a year old.

Altair: Unfortunately, you wouldn't really be able to see anything. I haven't worked out the background yet and I don't really clean anything up until I transfer it to board. The orientation of the ship is such that you can see the ventral side as it passes over the "camera". The deflector is clearly visible. I did the drawing using reference photos and schematics I found on the net and in magazines.
Also, it would be a bad idea to post until it's finished since everything looks like a mud puddle right up until the last stage in the technique
Fear not though, Nova Class will be done in a week or so *crosses fingers*

Just out of curiosity, do you mean the (unfortunately) canon Nova, as in the Equinox? I hold out hope that you might mean the not-ugly one that most people accepted from the TNGTM... :-)
