I was thinking of ideas to help out with Starship Ajax, and one of the ideas I had was to get some art done for a possible poster or flyer to promote the project. What was needed was to have something that was visually striking, something that would catch the eye, but still be in black and white to keep costs down.
I turned to artist Chris Conidis to see if he could help out. His black and white ‘retro’ art was perfect for this. He sent two pieces, and what is below is a composite of elements from those two works.
This version is a composite of Chris’ work and not his original composition. Used with permission. Click on the image for a larger version.
Below are the two pieces that were sent, so you can get an idea of the original composition and the source for the composite image. The whole thing had to be in landscape orientation (and not portrait) to facilitate putting it on a flyer with a header and other information.
Okay, I know that there’s no Vulcan in the cast, and some changes had to be made due trademark concerns and such; the final picture could not use the Vulcan hand salute (LLAP), the insignia could not be classic Trek (Ajax insignia were fine to use though), and a few other small things. The font used is a free font, “American Captain”, and is available here.
Mobys.ws is not affiliated with Starship Ajax or it’s production. Like you, I am just a fan of Trek fan-films and trying to help out. These images and the original artwork are donations to the production to use (or not) as needed.
