@Atolm - that's a great design homage. Is that saucer directly blocking the runway behind it or just above and the runway goes under it?

 

[Orac]

Nice! Looks like the runway goes under the saucer to me.

Thanks and welcome

Nice! Looks like the runway goes under the saucer to me.

Thanks both of you. The runway actually does end at the saucer. The fighters do not actually need all that length to take off. Around the second chevron the fighters should be totally spaceborne and underway. Two fighters can launch side by side on each runway for a total of four craft at the same time. If a fighter goes beyond the fourth chevron it is automatically stopped by tractor beams.

Denmark? My ancestors went from Denmark to the north of Britain about 1350 years ago.

@Atolm beautiful work as always. Is this based off a specific design of Gerry's?

Nah, here it just means Deviant Art ;-)

Yeah

You went full-Lensman on this one.

 

[Atolm]

Cool

Thanks again

You went full-Lensman on this one.

Thanks bro, but how do you mean?

 

[publiusr]

He does retro trek. I hope he enters

 

[Atolm]

Very Anderson looking. Now, are we talking early cartoonish marination as per Supercar, or the later more realistic body proportions like Captain Scarlet?

Then you could fold this in as a successor of Fireball XL-5. The next generation of ships.

Thanks!
I envision this ship and her auxiliary vessels to be more in the vein as Anderson's Supermarionation stuff. I have found outside of Space: 1999 most of Anderson's tech level to be more fantastic (meaning hybrid, multi, combinable vehicles, or vehicles that work on concepts that were only theorized and could not be actually built) , than grounded in hard science, and it's look is very distinct, in that when you see it you say, "oh that's from an Anderson show". Even this "Enterprise" if you look closely, has specialized vehicles that are also integrated into the actual whole ship.
I also opted to draw this 100% digitally, specifically, to give it a more cartoonish feel to it.

Well the latter you can get realistic with digital art. And the original cartoons were done manually.

In Anderson's shows the devices were as much characters as the characters. Fireball XL5 has all sorts of gizmos, such as the main cockpit worked separately as Fireball Jr. And the Thunderbirds of course. Supermarionation had drawbacks, mainly associated with character movement. Kirk is not kicking out Klingon slats as a puppet.

What I was referring to is that the character design of Anderson's work was far more deformed, big heads, garish features in the early Supermarionation shows than in the later ones where features and proportions become more realistic.
