Different ship designs???

In mid 1994 I was doing some video game concepts for Star Trek licensor Playmates Interactive Entertainment, one of which was a space combat game set during the Earth-Romulan War. Here's one of the spaceships I sketched for the pitch:

I remember seeing this concept several years ago! I didn't know that it was yours. Nice!
Yeah, it's mine. I originally was toying with the design as bigger ship, but when I showed it to Andy Probert he said it should be a fighter and so it became.

I'd like to model it in 3D someday.
 
^Was the design ever used in artwork for Star Fleet Battles? It reminds me of something from that. I may have to go dig out my old SFB books.
 
To JudeXavier
These are rough sketches?
Many of these designs are drawn quite well and are pretty cool looking ships.
I wish I had stuff in my sketchbook that looked like what everybody is posting here.
I wanted to post some of my ship sketches, out of my rather large 3-ring binder/sketchbook here, but now think I may pass.
 
At JudeXavier,
The Slab Viper reminds me of the starfighter from the old 1970's-1980's Buck Rogers series. Plus, the NUSlab Viper, definitely, BSG influences.
The Wedge Andretti definitely feels and looks StarWars/StarWars The Clone Wars style.
The USS Catalina is pretty slick!
So much for posting "rough" sketches. I'll have to pass on participating :(
 
Maurice Navidad - Found it! This is from Star Fleet Battles, Captain's Log #2 printed sometime around 1986. Definitely a family resemblance!

I was thinking the same thing about the slab viper and considering it was a viper design that was considered for
BSG before being used for buck rogers it seems sort of fitting :)
 
Good stuff all around! I really like the Romulan fighter (Maurice's not the SFB thing) but if it were mine, I'd have made the back the front, I think it would give it a more dangerous, sharp, fast appearance. Cool nonetheless...
 
Here it goes a few from my own, in different stages of development. First, Galactica´s Universe. ;)
