Gizmodo posted today about some fan art for a redesigned Starship Enterprise that has been presented as leaked artwork for the new Star Trek film. The images in the article were created by the one and only Gabe Köerner who I’ve worked with in the past and is known throughout the industry as quite the character. You may recognize Gabe as “That Trekkie Kid” from the docu-nerdfests Trekkies and Trekkies 2. The post also contains a classic interview with Gabe that just makes you laugh at what happens when you let a typical VFX artist off-leash. Here’s a taste…
The prongs on the front of Syd Mead’s Sullacco from ‘Aliens’ gave me the idea for the deflector dish. If the rest of the ship was graceful curves, the deflector is the ‘asshole’ of the ship, the part that no matter how sexy you are, you still have an asshole.
Amen, brother!
