By Jason Lee, on December 25th, 2011 A few years ago, my father came to me with an idea for a drawing he wanted me to work on, one that would illustrate both the true meaning of Christmas, a celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ, and the spirit of Christmas in the form of Old Saint Nick. Unlike some who decry [...]
By Jason Lee, on April 16th, 2011 Well, as of yesterday, the winners of the Star Trek Online “Design the Next Enterprise” contest have supposedly been selected. I haven’t heard anything yet so either they haven’t gotten around to notifying everyone or my submission didn’t make the cut. Either way, I’ve had a blast working on this project and I think I’ve [...]
By Jason Lee, on April 8th, 2011 I’ve gotten lots of positive comments about my design for the “next Enterprise” both here and on the other art-related sites I frequent, along with the occasional constructive criticism. The one feature of this design that people seemed to like the least was the so-called “guppy mouth,” my rather unique, U-shaped approach to the main [...]
By Jason Lee, on January 15th, 2011 Star Trek Online is an MMORPG set in the Star Trek universe near the dawn of the 25th century. Recently, the game’s developer, Cryptic Studios, announced a contest to design the next incarnation of the starship Enterprise for use in the game, presumably the NCC-1701-F. Even though I don’t play the game, being both a [...]

United Worlds Ship Concepts
There are some common elements to these designs, all inspired [...]

By Jason Lee, on October 15th, 2009 So, after the latest round of coordination with Dennis, the “sails” have been restored to the design for the Polaris. I had a backup plan in case he decided to go that way and I have to say I’m glad he did. I liked the version without the sails but I like this even better.

By Jason Lee, on October 11th, 2009 Looks like Dennis Bailey and his team are making good progress on set construction for the bridge of the Starship Polaris, as noted in his latest blog entry. In the mean time, I’m continuing to submit ideas for the look of the ship itself. Here is the latest sketch showing several new design elements:
By Jason Lee, on September 8th, 2009 As part of the ongoing Starship Polaris project, I just completed another batch of concept sketches for various configurations and parts and pieces of the eponymously named hero ship. Here are three of the better ones:
Configuration Concepts
More Configuration Concepts
Sublight Engine Module
I’ve been going back and [...]
By Jason Lee, on August 5th, 2009 NX-01 from 2001 TV Guide Article
Back before Star Trek: Enterprise premiered, the first clue we had to what the new ship would look like was a photo from the set showing a printed copy of the mission patch with a stylized plan view of the NX-01. Not long after, it made its [...]
