Last update for the day. I'm toast.

This is a "Home Page" for the TOS section I worked up wit Mike Broadhead for the TOS Section of TrekCore.


Another banner...


Getting closer to a final product for the Kirk sketch...


What's LT. Uhura looking at?


See why I need my own site?

WOW. Amazingly Amazing...! Excellent art work CJTK

Can I put in a request for some custom artwork ? Your post has inspired me to dig up any Star trek projects buried in sub sub Dir's. ~ I've got the Borg Queen's Diamond ship inDEV as a companion model for my Renegade ship model. The model's stand is a Diamond shape (what else) would you make me gfx for it.? I haven't been through all the pics you've linked, though the borg-ish one's I've seen look potentials, sadly I'd lose a lot of the pics placing them on a diamond shape. The ship only appears in one episode of TNG, as far as I know. Maybe something with the Queen on it..??

* If your willing, there's no hurry ~ it'll be quite a while before I can continue developing it.

Sure GEARZ, I'd be glad to help.

[Gearz]

Thanks CJTK !

* Geeezz with all the cool material here its hard to stay focused on any one project.. inspiring!

Gearz, I'm looking forward to your files. Should have my system a little more together very soon and still ready to help. I'm finding a bunch of my work while going through my CD's and recovering my system. Should be updating with more art soon.

Keep on Trekkin!

Dug up a few more today and here you go.... This is mostly planets and wallpaper sized screencaps, from my days at TrekCore and TrekPulse, but still some decent wallpaper options.

One of my favorite planets.


Old Mars, new Mars, Future Mars?

I've been doning a lot of screen grabs for TSFS and I thought I'd update this thread with some selected images and wallpapers from the movie.

Bit first, props to the copyright owner.

Mmmm... The true scale/size of each ship always confused me. In some shots they look out of proportion to their true (supposed) size and or each other ~

* wallpaper14ik2.jpg To achieve that shot the BoP would have to be almost as big as the Enterprise. ( Unless it passed by and behind the E )

* wallpaper4fi0.jpg Just from watching the movie, I'd assumed the Monarch was much smaller than the BoP, when its actually slightly larger. = shot a project in the foot..

The Starbase shot is a beauty (found my desktop for the week)

Great shots! thanks for posting them CJ

I've got a scale chart around here somewhere I'll have to post. I feel you on the disorientation of the scales.

True, the shot with the Refit and the Kling BOP makes no sense, unless and only unless the BOP is comin up along the Starboard side of the Refit and is closer than it appears. As the shot stands the BOP looks WAAAAAAAY to big. At distance that shot makes the Refit look small in perspective.

I'll have more, I've got a LOT of shots from this movie. I'm working on a couple of IronMan wall papers.

Among us trekazoids its been well known that the KBoP pretty much grows and shrinks with each shot. Though I have not analyzed it, apparently one of the worst offenders is the shot in ST:IV with the KBoP staring down the whaling boat. The problem got so bad in ST:TNG that three classes of KBoP have been proposed, small, medium, and large to deal with all of the scaling difficulties.

I guess the person in charge of continuity was drunk on the job.

I would imagine the problem really comes from not paying attention to what went before. That's one of the myriad of reasons I couldn't stand "Enterprise." There was no consistancy what so ever even though some of the staff had worked on previous incarnations and had helped with the "Star Trek Encyclopedia."

There's also the possibility that it came down to dollars. It's easier to grab something off the shelf than to be creative, more expediant and cost effective at least.

Just had a look through the thread. Great work CJTK1701. The photo of the astro' using the MMU is one of the best photos I have ever seen.

Kirk as superman, cool. Lots of good pics, love the work.

Thanks paul, I've got a lot more, but have had so many things going on. When it starts raining again I'm going to redo some comic art that I did over at Trekbbs. I lost it in an HD crash / Computer hack and never have redone it, but I'm going to give it a go.

Glad you enjoy the work. I do special requests, but it will take awhile, I'm really bust these days.
