What's inside Big Ben AKA Elizabeth Tower?
I still have my copy of The Way Things Work, and I like stuff like this. In particular I was surprised to learn that the Westminster Chimes are caused by essentially a huge music box.

Seriously, the DeviantArt well never seems to go dry...
The Enterprise hovering above a lake, complete with a nice reflection A rather odd starship design. Why make a rollbar without actually putting a hull on the rollbar? A rather interesting revamp of the 1701. Why do nacelles need fins? And I'm still wondering what those spheres at the rear of the nacelles are supposed to do... It's always nice to see fanart of the ring-ship Enterprise (XCV 330) Even if I think they're ugly I can't help but have a fondness for Constitution-class kitbashes. Even so, a deflector dish pointing aft seems silly Kim Possible characters as Trek characters. Drakken as a Cardassian makes sense, Kim as a Bajoran not so much... Maybe superlong ships work in Star Wars, not so much in Trek. Caracatured versions of TOS characters. The only one that REALLY doesn't work is Chekov, that guy could be Kevin Riley for all I know... The Cat and the Shat. A cute Dr. Seuss parody, and just about the only time you'll see Star Trek crossed with Calvin and Hobbes. I don't think I've ever seen Tholian ships this close up. It's also an interesting notion to make the nacelle panels look like the Voyager warp coil (even if I never liked the swirly warp core, how could bioneural technology improve a warp core?) What if TOS was an episode of The Twilight Zone? Giving the 1701 more of a pulp scifi design is also an interesting choice... Turning Ro and Yar into comic book art. It's interesting to see Ro in the opened jacket from her origin episode, but I'm pretty sure her undershirt didn't look like that

One of the ugliest fan starship designs I've ever seen
Fan-made shuttle concepts. You'll note how much the fourth design looks like a STTMP shuttle. A rather nice painting of Picard and his "Make it so" gesture. Even if Picard hasn't shaved for a few days... A nice ink sketch of the TNG crew. Oil painting of the 1701 You don't see much fanart of the 1701-B, do you? Someone deaged Janeway and put her in a Monster Maroon. TAS Kirk in a Discovery uniform. Still not a fan of that design, even after you remove the insult to canon Marionette Data surrounded by his personal props. Nice use of the Tasha minihologram there... A rather nice Trek/Seuss crossover, even if it does use that hideous green wraparound tunic... What if they revamped the Excelsior in Kelvinverse style? A rather nice tableau of Ten Forward, even if Beverly looks a bit too mangaish...

What if Bach wrote the music for Super Mario Brothers?
String Player Gamer gives the music a classical feel by only playing it with violin and harp. Watch if only for the combination of a silly powdered wig and a silly fake mustache.

And we're back to DeviantArt...
Another take on a Discovery-style 1701. My biggest problem is how thin the saucer section looks... A rather nice painting of Uhura. You can find Scotty, Bones, and Spock below it. Calling the Constitution-class refit the "Enterprise class" seems to have lived and died between STTMP and TWOK. It's not often done in fan work, but here you are. Defiant flying over Lakota. I've said it before and I'll say it again, they made the Defiant too small. WAY too small. A rather nice image of the D'deridex class. Even if the head seems a little twisted compared to the body... A fan rendering of the Great Bird of the Galaxy Now here's something I've never seen before: a hijab incorporated into the Starfleet uniform. What if TOS was a movie, and that movie had a poster? An unofficial T-Shirt design from the eighties. What if the TNG crew had Leifeldesque muscular physiques and stood around flexing? A painting of Neelix Ink sketch of the refit 1701. Sometimes black and white art can really pop, can't it? Manga-style Wesley Crusher Painting of Mirror Spock

A nice drawing of Kirk
Bones in a blue version of that ugly leather-yoke uniform jacket that Picard wore sometimes. That stupid leather-yoke is Picard's version of Kirk's green wraparound. Mirror Spock seems to be a popular subject for fanart... You don't often see colored pencil fanart, but this one of the 1701 is quite good Kamala Picard looking quite pleasant Of course someone would put Zooey Deschanel in a TOS uniform... I've never heard Bones' early STTMP look called the "disco mountain man" before, but it fits... I didn't know that Kelvinverse Carol Marcus had so much fanart, but I suppose EVERYTHING in Trek has fanart... Now here's an interesting idea: combining TOS movie and Kelvinverse design elements with one of the TOS kitbash ships. (Meaningless aside, I enjoy some of the TOS kitbashes, but I hate all single-nacelle designs) The TOS Big Seven in the grey yoke TNG/DS9 uniforms. My big problem is that some of them are wearing the wrong color undershirts. Coloring the Monster Maroons to match the original TOS uniform colors. The Enterprise flying out of a Supergate Apparently combining Chibi Ezri and Chibi Kes results in "Cute Overload!" Manga-style Tasha wearing her "Naked Now" outfit A movie poster for City on the Edge of Forever A painting of Picard Picard, Riker, and Data in Monster Maroons
