A real beauty.”I stand corrected, thanks.:-)As a CGI-dabbler myself I have a great deal of regard for the artists who contribute to the SOTL calendars and who rarely disappoint. It would be a dream of mine to join their ranks, someday.sigh.I always loved Andy Probert’s concept artwork of the two Enterprises (originally released around the time of TMP if memory serves), and would have been glad to buy a poster of it if one had been available. Looks like someone did a very nice job translating it to the digital realm.
