Okay, I gotta admit, I’m pretty excited about the new Star Trek movie. I’m not a big J.J. Abrams fan, nor am I a big Star Trek fan, but from the new trailer, it looks like the new movie could be a really solid space epic. And of course, the reviews have been extremely favorable across the board.
I had some free time at the end of the day yesterday and found myself sketching Star Trek pics. I decided to mix together two of my favorite publicity shots.
Here’s what I ended up with:
I really wanted to feel of the classic Star Trek to come across. My only regret is that I wasn’t able to fit in more of Kirk’s boxy captain’s chair. Damn that small piece of paper. Next time I should just draw on my big bristol board, get a more panoramic feel. Anyway, psyched about the new Trek. See you at the movies!

OMG! I am both a J.J. Abrams fan AND a Star Trek fan (check out my blog post: http://aggregatenothings.wordpress.com/2009/04/21/geek-out-with-me-please/ )
And I gotta say, I love the sketch.There’s a lovely and campy flavor of homoeroticism to the original series pic (and the original series, watch if you don’t believe)that seems to have been written out in the new movie version (as I’ve seen it in the trailers, pics, etc but I’ve yet to see the film! And I can’t wait! Supposed to be totally goofy.)
