DeviantART has always been a mish-mash of very amateurish stuff and drool-worthy masterpieces done by professionals or those who can produce professional level work. I've been coming across more and more of the latter recently so I thought I would bring some of it to your attention.

[url="http://trance-master.deviantart.com/"]Trance-Master[/url] ([url="http://trance-master.deviantart.com/"]deviantART homepage[/url]) for example is a graphic/digital artist and Aviation photographer/enthusiast from Wimbledon in London and has posted the most amazing collection of detailed technical illustrations of Star Trek I've seen in done by a single artist (not employed by CBS/Paramount)
[quote]Currently I am on several projects at the moment, firstly the Star Trek Starship Encylopedia, which is taking forever, the object was/is to cover most of the types in the canon Trek universe. Also I am also completing any request work especially for LeonaWriter - the Star Wars charts etc, Lord-Nalthren's Starfleet-Command group, Msgt Frank's UDI-blood-camo group, and Ccarcia3's The Narada Crew group. I have a couple of requests to do as well which are slowly coming to shape.

Lastly I'm slowly posting up my digital photograh collection, Currently I am concentrating on London-Gatwick Airport, a new collection from London-Heathrow, Brooklands Museum and Biggin Hill International Air Fair 2007. I recently deleted my entire Heathrow landing shots, but these will be put back up shortly.[/quote]

Amazing work! Wish the "buy this print" were larger. 4x8 and 3x5 don't do the art justice.

[/quote]Especially those comparison charts! They'd make a great wall poster. What intrigues me is that most of them are labeled as being part of what he calls at one point, "[u][i]my[/i][/u] [i]Star Trek: Starship Encylopedia[/i]" from which I assume that it is a personal project. If it includes the non-canon and little known ships - like the Declaration Class which is the class that the [url="http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/USS_Enterprise_%28XCV_330%29"]USS Enterprise XCV 330[/url] belonged to, that will be an amazing production! It'd make a great "coffee table" art book! [sigh] Sadly, I doubt if a printer would ever produce one though, even if you only ordered one for personal use from a Print On Demand firm.

Oh My Stars and Garters! Just found this [url="http://news.deviantart.com/article/96337/"]"news article" on DevArt[/url] that short-cuts you to a plethora (heh) of fan art, particularly some amazing portraits! These are a few as thumbnails - visit the artist and send them some encouragement!

Another quick post for this weekend. There are a few artists who do graphics for the fan fiction series that they contribute to, in many cases their own work. Star Trek: Defiance Alliance features the work of two young ladies...
