Archer-class starship 2.5D
Over the last year I've been busily working away on many starships in this style that haven't made it to ArtStation, so I'm going to try and post those over the next few days. This Archer-class is the most recently completed model and one of my more detailed efforts, since it would need to hold up under closer scrutiny.
All created with Blender 3D, I've evolved my shader style to have a bit more dimension while still evoking Filmation look of The Animated Series. I've also delved into the compositor for the first time to add some post-processing effects, so these renders are made entirely within Blender.
The USS Reykjavík, a small Archer-class starship rendered in a cartoon style reminiscent of Star Trek The Animated series.
Some slightly earlier WIP renders showing the ship's rear hatch and landing gear.
A small amount of interior detail too!
The landing gear mechanism won't be animated, but I do want the option to show the ship landed.

Even earlier WIP screenshot, and a reveal of my own TOS travel pod, which I'll post more of later.
The original USS Sagittarius was designed by Masao Okazaki in collaboration with David Mack and editor Marco Palmieri for the Star Trek Vanguard novel series.
The compass delta emblem visible on the Reykjavík hull was designed back in 2022. I always liked it and now it finally has a use!
