    "Critics who say that the optimistic utopia Star Trek depicted is now outmoded forget the cultural context that gave birth to it: Star Trek was not a manifestation of optimism when optimism was easy. Star Trek declared a hope for a future that nobody stuck in the present could believe in. For all our struggles today, we haven’t outgrown the need for stories like Star Trek. We need tales of optimism, of heroes, of courage and goodness now as much as we’ve ever needed them."

    Do screenshots even count as original work? You arranged it, sure, but every resource is actually something Cryptic made.

    I personally find pure screenshots not to count for much. But the rule itself I take to mean to not use other people's work in the sense of other people's screenshots or resources from outside the game that you didn't create.

    I do a fair bit of manipulation using multiple screenshots and some effects to make the images look "Better" than the game allows.

    I like the double nacelles on that Excelsior (post #14).

    I'm a little sad to see that most of the entries are screen shots as well. Granted that yes, Photographs CAN be art, but being an art challenge it doesn't seem that challenging to just hit print screen a few hundred times then grab the right one. Granted any thing i draw looks horrible, but you know what? At least i did it by hand (and again, i shows because holy TRIBBLE i'm terrible lol)

    Hello and welcome to another edition of our Fan Art challenges! :cool: Since this is only the second one, please make sure to read the rules below. Also, feel free to post feedback about the rules/ challenge in the discussion thread linked below, as well as themes that you would like to see in the future.

    Today we start the four-week run of the second Fan Art Challenge: Ships
    Create Fan Art that shows off and depicts one of your in-game ships of either faction, or one from each. Feel free to choose the setting (e.g. docked, in combat, in orbit, at warp, under construction etc.) you would like.
    Thats why i changed my entry. My previously post was a design study of a Federation ship. I changed it because of what pwebranflakes wrote.

    I would like to say that Cakeballs has outdone himself on his entry. Stylish and Classy all the way!

    That watercolor was hilarious. Hilarity vs satire. That's quite a magnificent combo.

    Thanks for all the discussion! Feel free to continue to discuss, or even post your image if you have not already, but I am going to unstick this as I prepare to post #3.

    Cheers,
