Drexler Class, a Picard-era reimagining of the NX-01

More STO concept art! This one was cool as hell to get to work on, designing a successor to a canonical Enterprise, which we named after the legendary designer of the original NX himself, Doug Drexler.

We chose to put this one in the Picard era as a nod to some of Drexler's recent work on Picard, and I took that as a personal challenge to reference as many Picard-era ships as I could, in no particular order:

Saucer: Sagan

Nacelles: Sagan with a sprinkle of Excelsior II

Forward Deflector: Inquiry

Secondary Hull: Duderstadt

Bridge & Surrounding Superstructure: Eleos

Pylons: Inquiry

25th Century Federation Skin For The Suurok-Class

This one was fuuuuun to design, the idea was to design a Federation-style vulcan ship for the modern era of Trek, we poured in a bunch of love from classic sci-fi into this one mixed with some more modern touched inspires by cruise ships and yachts.

Probably my favourite design I've done to date!

Also fun fact- I actually was privately working on a fed ringship in this style before I came to work on STO, so this was a chance to revisit a real passion project for me!

TMP Era Theseus

Concept art for Star Trek: Online

This was a super exciting piece to work on, it was a fun challenge to 'retro-engineer' a futuristic design backwards into something befitting of an earlier style- the idea here was to match the TMP Theseus as seen in a couple of frames of the IDW comics, whilst keeping the ship customiseable with the existing version we have in-game.

The headcanon I came up with whilst I was designing is that the actual core of the ship here is just the impulse deck, aft of the saucer- to which Starfleet would 'clamp' prototype components to- ie the saucer, pylons, and engineering hull- although I like the idea that this configuration wasn't necessarily fixed, and you could attach different components however engineers required across this versatile basic spaceframe. Obviously- that can't be done in-game, and this isn't official canon, but it gave that section of the ship a very utilitarian feel that I ended up really liking for that 'experimental' vibe.

Hope-Class Starship Remaster

Concept art for Star Trek: Online

With DECA's comms open I can finally start to share some of my work for Star Trek: Online! First up, the Hope-class remaster, which is inspired by Mark Rademaker's Vesta class, under the art direction of Thomas Marrone and August Hansen.

This wasn't my first piece for the game- but it was the first one where I started to have some real faith in my own abilities, and for which I super pleased with the end result. I also went through some ideation of what role this remaster would fill in-universe; I played around with it being an aquatic research vessel, taking some cues from Rademaker's nautical-feeling approach to his starship designs, but in the end I settled on the head-canon that the outer 'domes' on the saucer section would be detachable, and able to land on planet's surfaces to form premade habitat domes for surface installations. Looking forward to sharing some more of my work on the game, and talking a bit about some of the design process that went into them!
