Star Trek: Phase 3 was a project that I started in September of 2008, the idea was to create the U.S.S. Enterprise that would be in the 2009 movie. But there was no concept art other then a few fanfares. So I started designing my own concept of what the ship would look like based on previous Ships and concept arts I saw. In the first 4 months of designing the ship I had rendered over 60 different concepts because I keep on seeing different ideas and even more so I was watching all of the older films to get a idea of what I could take from each refit in the films.
