Star Strip page 32

USS Surprise gets the message just like they're supposed to. Rickover is a little less tolerant of Spock like Kirk in the reboot movies as opposed to Kirk in TOS. I'm watching them all again at work and they are better than I remember. I keep having to remind myself that it was done in the mid 1960's when Lost in Space and the other Irwin Allen series were the height of science fiction TV shows.
Integrating the figures and the sets is a lot of fun. Upenda's chair (the comm officer) isn't turned in the render I have so I had to search through a all the other renders to find a seat on edge like that. The crew may seen a bit senior officer heavy for a skeleton crew of 30. That is because all the department heads and senior leadership are on the ship but very few of the followers. It's a cadre waiting to be fleshed out if other crew ever become available.
I' still working 20 pages ahead having just finished up page 51. Looks like the comic will be around 110 pages long. You figure that is about a five issue limited series.
@plymayer: Very good the creepy furry is indeed a feline. Her adopted name is “Dancer” as her native name is so hard to normal humans to wrap their tongue around. She's a figure for the Dr. Who series.
@fallopiancrusader: I love the title Fiasco of the Furries. Since i used Space Station K-7 from Trouble with Tribbles for the base putting a bar, some aggressive aliens and a shipment of catnip? rather than grain wouldn't be too hard to get together. I have a tribble in my car as a mascot. I got it at a Star Trek convention thirty years ago.

Great job with the figures-scene integration! The bad thing about good compositing is that when it's done right, nobody notices!

@fallopiancrusader: Dorothy Catherine Fontana or D.C. Fontana. The lettering too small to read also said funny things like the med bed read out for Health Insurance Remaining. And that NCC-1701D was built by Yoyodyne Propulsion systems of Grover's Mill NJ which is from the Buckeroo Banzai movie.

I know there's a reference hidden somewhere there in the name "Dorcatana", but it's going over my head... I dated someone years ago who worked on some of the sets for ST:The Next Generation, and apparently the control panels that never faced the camera had all sorts of silly icons on them, like silhouettes of farm animals and such.

ALTHOUGH, Kirk wasn't as stupid in the television series. He got goofy and commercial in the movies, II and later. He didn't really start talking and acting like himself until ST Generations and then they killed him for it.

Spock had to be obvious. Kirk would not have gotten the hints.

The Keep It Simple Starship with its crew of Paul, Gene, Ace and Peter! I like the info about the chair! It doesn't even occur to me that the whole thing isn't a set! Nicely done!

@KimLuster: "Keep it Simple Stupid" was too long to fit on the side of the ship. ;-)

I wish they'd name the ship Keep It Simple Stupid! Spock always was kinda obvious haha - another great page!
