I will bevel the panels in another pass to match the Enterprise-E panels, so it will be a bit softer.

The panelz progress thus far. Going for a mix of the original and the Enterprise-E. #akira #startrek #firstcontact #ilm #7ftakira #ilmheroakira #enterprise-e #sovereign #blender #b3d #modeling

I took the time to write up another wee lil article about how I design and create the panels on my Akira class variant for my Eager & Excited patrons.

Tons of more details, polish, animation, fixes, and lighting work on this Star Trek shot, I'm now really happy with it! Movin on to the next. :D

Currently in the process of planning all the panels and details. #akira #startrek #firstcontact #ilm #7ftakira #ilmheroakira #enterprise-e #sovereign #blender #b3d #modeling

I'm not big on tutorials, so I made a blender file with 10 stages of my Akira class modeling process available on my Patreon.

I owe you a retopology.

My boiling hot take: all of TOS actually looks like TMP (Klingons always had ridges, and the Enterprise always looked like the TMP refit).

Alrighty - my final update on this shot for now! Tons of revisions and fixes, as well as new Music SFX and VO. Added the welders welding, a few more work bees, the Arges in the background, and some changes to the lighting angle.
4K in the 🧵!
I hope everyone likes it!

My favorite complaint feedback is "there is no sound in space" from "fans" of either Trek or Wars or Gate. Like those shows became famous for the silence in their space shots.

Imagine the computing power and terrabytes of data devices of that size would have in 400 years.

I also managed to merge the back of the primary hull into the saucer smoothly. It looked weird when I left it months ago. #akira #startrek #firstcontact #ilm #7ftakira #ilmheroakira #enterprise-e #sovereign #fanart #b3d #modeling #conceptart

I haven't looked at the #akira for some time. Yesterday I began tackling the transition of my idea of the deflector area into the saucer section. #llap #startrek #firstcontact #ilm #7ftakira #ilmheroakira #enterprise-e #sovereign #fanart #b3d #blender #modeling #wip

Alrighty - update on this shot! Tons of revisions and fixes, as well as new music SFX and VO. I'm hopeful everyone likes it. :) I did forget to add the welding VFX, though - and the VO is AI and will be replaced with actual Voice Actor work in the final.

@6to12elbow.bsky.social Hi. I am a freelance illustrator and loather of AI art (as it has always said in my profile). I never knowingly repost AI crap yet I am on your AI Horseshit list. Respectfully, you have made a mistake and it is damaging to me. Please remove me. Thank you.

The Niimiipuu patches up battle damage after the battle with the Romulan warbirds. There's still some floaty-ness to one of the characters walk cycle that I need to fix, and I still need to tweak some of the workbee animation, as well as adding welding animations to the hull plate repairs.

Preview playblast of all the modifications, re-timing to be longer and more elegant, and additions to that Post-Battle repairs animation! Repaired hull panels, workers welding, and workbees! I'm doing a low-sample preview render now.

Every now and then I do find the time to sketch. Would love to improve in 2026.
