Birds of a feather fight together…

I really like how Alexander Klemm's model looks up close. I tried to give this render a bit of an 80s ILM vibe. At one point I even added matte lines!

Version without the planet, just because.

Spock 🖖

Different from my usual repertoire, but I'm quite proud of the result!

Some mock comic book variant covers…

All vector art, made with Affinity Designer

Terok Noir

DS9 comic art, made using Blender 3D / Affinity Photo.

I also made a second version…

But I wasn't really as happy with it, despite spending more time on the details. Sometimes simpler is just better!

Star Commander

A Star Trek / Wing Commander mashup logo, just for fun

I don't actually know much about Wing Commander, but I am a fan of the STOP typeface.

Bonus horizontal version:

Everything old is new again

Render of the fabulous Hunter G Enterprise model, inspired by this key art for The Motion Picture…

The Wrath of Terok Nor

Recent lettering artwork, Deep Space Nine logo in the style of the Wrath of Khan poster art.

Horizontal version…

Remain Defiant!

Recent Blender 3D work. One of my personal favourite 3D art creations.

Here's an earlier one I made too…

OG Enterprise

A photo composite of the USS Enterprise model made using this Smithsonian photograph as a base.

And here's how the Hunter G Enterprise model looks in comparison.

A dumb Prodigy gag I've been waiting two weeks to post.

Brilliant model kit by GarageKitsUS of Lucille Ball

Amusingly this sculpt seems to have been based off of this viral pic below, which in turn is a crude photoshop of some fantastic Janeway art by @taracphillips

No mention of this in GKUS's Facebook post on the subject. I hope she gets paid!

Captain Janeway. 💖✨ Mulled over this painting for long enough. Calling it done!

Star Trek stickers!

Designed just for fun, tho I'm thinking about making some real ones too.

Some TNG themed stickers too

And more

Stat Trek!

Last year #Netflix released some viewing data and I started but only just finished producing this chart showing the relative popularity of the classic #StarTrek shows on the platform. No big surprises, but there are some interesting observations to make…

Most surprising to me is that Enterprise works out to be the most popular show if you account for the fact that there are fewer episodes. Per hour of available content, it is slightly more in demand than TNG.

Season 1 is by far the most popular season of TNG! Why? Well, one interesting observation people made on Xhitter is that Picard season 3 aired Feb-April 2023 and may have boosted the amount of people who started watching the show during this period.

Poor Animated Series. 😢

Please do let me know if you see any errors. As much as I like a good infographic, I'm not really much of a numbers guy. But my little wormhole by DS9 is cute, right?

A combadge homage to Ex Astris Scientia, one of the OG Star Trek nerdsites and one I've been visiting since it came online 25 years ago. An invaluable service to the fandom!

i just put it in the tags of your post but I figured I'd ask you directly- if I credited you in my bio, could I use that edited picture of Brad and Beckett in live action as a profile picture? it looks really nice and I love you made their outfits look more accurate to the show. i understand if you say no, though

Oh hi, sorry for the late reply, I'm not on here all that regularly. Please go ahead if you want to and thanks for asking! I'm glad you like them.

I adjusted the Lower Decks SNW uniforms to better match the proportions of the originals. The Strange New Worlds version looks good, I just think a closer match could have been better still.
