Wow a Federation starship with landing legs that actually make sense... that doesn't look like it wants to fall over forwards. *cough*Voyager*cough*

Yeah... I with you in that view. Seems like nearly every Starfleet vessel now has the ability to land, which is absurd.

Cool! Thanks for chimin' in!

Archer, Archer.... is this the same class of ship Phaeton99 is workin' on? You two should collaborate. The man's a mastermind at starship blueprints, and you clearly have the photorendering in hand.

I don't know if it's the same. Gotta link?

From his ortho drawings, there's no real way to tell if his ship is the one you came up with. He only has a schematic of Deck 1. But Phaeton99 has a lot of good stuff. I recommend visiting his gallery.

Another cool pic of a great little ship.
Dang, I wish there were some stories or videos based upon it or these pics

Well the Seeker series starts this August, with the first one centering around the Archer class ship, Sagittarius.

This is very very cool news. I just hope it's well written. I can't wait

All it needs are one or two land vehicles coming from or going to the ship.

I wish I had the right vehicles available!

Make one like a bike or space buggy? You know what it will look good in it. Trust your self, I do. Because you are that good.!!!

Butiful work, I could stare at it all day...but I hope the ship's nose is pointed at a high, sheer rock face.
How does it take off?

I'm guessing it lifts on nati-grav modules until it get enough altitude to kick in the reaction drive.

hover up, maneuvering thrusters to come about, then throw it into first gear...ok.

How the heck did I miss this one? Wow. This image is a PERFECT fit for the boldly going style of stories that make classic trek great. I just LOVE it to death and want to have it's babies.

Have its babies - PLEASE!!!!!
I await the first baby pictures!

I think it's the colors and the "matte painting" feel to it.

Loving the crisp shadows and those steep steppes look really neat

Yeah, there's something both familiar and alien about this terrain.

Crap! I forgot to close and lock the back door!!!

Don't you just hate it when you get half-way down the street and you can't remember if you've down that.

I remember don't worry. It's right over there...see that rock? No not that one..the other rock, the one with all the sand around it.

Are you sure it was this planet? It look awfully familiar, like Gamma Epslion Nine we visit the other week.

I can't help myself but feel the babyface effect when looking at this ship

Awwwww. Well you did give birth to one of these cuties, yourself!

I tried to imagine this... and it was horrible. Let's just say, the term "explosive diarrhea" finally got a new meaning

Nice new installment in the voyages of Rama ! One comment below noted Forbidden Planet and that is my feel to it also, the dramatic rockscape gives this a Chesley Bonestell era SF look.

Thanks. Wow... seems like this one fires up all kinds of visual memories for folks?!

Wow...now this is really cool how u got the environment, the background and the ship all blended together with perfect light and shadow. This kicks ass.

Thanks. I always find 2D/3D integration to be a blast! I don't know why.... I just have fun with it?!?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That's really cool! It's a different palette than your usual - almost like something from a Vincent diFate painting; great job integrating the ship into the scene. Wow!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yup - DiFate used a lot of cyans, which I don't usually. It's kinda neat if I can stay in my style and evoke DiFate at the same time!

Thanks! As with all these 2D/3D composites, I just take my lighting cues from the 2D background and try to integrate the two.

Could this be the start of Forbidden Planet the Next Generation?

Yeah, the colors and "matte paintingish" background evoked FP to me, too.
