Description
Neiwil raised the spectre of a comic using this photo and Gimp planets thing I've got hooked on ^_^
Anyway, I used that first Enterprise one, did another, grabbed few pics from the 'net and tried this.
Looks okay, but it's not something I would do seriously.
Hope you like it, and thanks for looking.

It'a great concept - even if Scotty is looking rather portly and Mr Bester has infiltrated the Enterprise crew!

My favorite Enterprise and uniforms from the original Trek. Treks II-VI. :D I think it looks great! But it would be hard to keep using pics because eventually it would limit some of the story. I'd still enjoy it.

As an experiment I enjoyed trying it, but as you said PsychoNaut, the available photos are so limited, with most being publicity stills. Other problems are that the way the Enterprise was filmed in TMP was different than the other films (top panel ship is TMP, front view is ST3 which I had to tint to match the TMP version), and the bridge was redesigned for Undiscovered Country, so I couldn't mix and match from the other films. And Phil... yes, Bester had to do something when his job on Bab5 was made redundant, lol I think as a project this could work... as long as there were plenty of photos to work from. TOS may work better...

Awsome work and very well executed.I quite liked Scotty as he 'aged', a great character made larger than life by James Doohan, hard to believe he was Canadian. As a one off experiment this is great, as pointed out above difficult to carry through a whole story (pity) but a great vision of what might be possible with the right material....10/10+

if you wnt further with this as a project, are you not going to be held up for copyright violation? Is probably ok for one or two scenes as a joke but to do anything more is surely in breach of copyright re, film studios' material and Gene Rodenbury's original concept rights to these characters and the general idea.

As I said, Kinchie, it was an experiment... I don't have any intentions of producing a full-blown comic ^_^

There are quite a few trekkie related meshes and morphs out there, so I reckon a star trek comic must be doable

I never had a plan to do a comic luke this. It was an experiment in combining SFX models with new backgrounds to create something new. I've done CGI comics in the past but I was told there was no market for it, and that made me lose heart and confidence. A former editor of mine even went so far as to say he didn't even think CGI comics were a real artform. When your own editor belittles your work you kind of think why bother? Anyway, thanks for the comments. Very much appreciated.
