Boldly To Go

David Nagel
Senior Producer
In
its final mission in the service of mankind, the Macintosh Enterprise C, pictured
here with its saucer section disengaged, zooms toward the Neutral Zone in answer
to an emergency beacon sent by another G4-class cruiser. When it arrived, it found
the G4 (The USS Macintosh HD) embroiled in a battle with a Romulan NT proxy server.
It was too late. So the captain of the Macintosh Enterprise beamed down to the
nearby planet, showed off some of his technology and ruled as a god for the rest
of his artificially prolonged life.
This image was created in Photoshop. The saucer section of the ship is a composite of several parts of a G4, which was then shaded with the airbrush tool and given a texture in Paint Alchemy. The planet and moon were just drawn with an airbrush tool and given a mild touch of Paint Alchemy. The glow in the background was created with KPT 6 Lens Flare.
