Klingon Birds of Prey

Two renders featuring Alexander Klemm's lovely Klingon Bird of Prey model. Rendered in Blender but most of the work was done in compositing, using Affinity Photo. I tried to channel that ILM look, especially for the 'Search for Spock' one.

Alexander Klemm's model looks really good up close

Birds of a feather fight together…

Detail

A version without the planet, which I somehow prefer

1. The raw render from Blender (Cycles)

2. The sreengrab from TSFS I referenced. The torpedo was taken from a different frame

3. My final edited composite

I definitely could make it a closer match, but I wanted to show the details of the 4K render.
