About

Where to begin…

I am Basill.  I love genre science fiction, architecture and engineering, science and astronomy, philosophy and history…

Naturally, a jack of all trades is master of none.  So I work in a library.  :D

Star Trek and Star Wars co-rule my sci-fi monarchy, with several other powerful franchise lords influencing my mood throughout the year.

This page is in the experimental phases currently,  as I learn what features this media has to offer and how to best display my work.

My work is all hobby, and mostly concentrated on my love of Star Trek, and I will probably stick to that theme for this particular blog.

I enjoy the 2D and 3D CGI arts and will display my work here as I employ them.  I have lots to display old and new, so I will be loading some up on this site as time progresses.

Peace and long life,

Basill

  1. Hello Basill!
    I just discovered your blog with these fantastic renderings.
    I would be happy If we could exchange some emails since I would love to include work of yours in a serious fan film production I am doing.Keep up your fantastic work!Stephan

    • Hey Stephan,

      Thanks for the comments! :D What kind of fan film are you working on? What era does it take place in. Most of my work is in the Early motion picture era.

      I’ve seen a few really good fan film endeavors in the past few years, and I bet they can be a lot of fun.

  2. This site is phenomenal! Just spent a ton of time going through everything and am still blown away by what I’ve seen! Great work sir!

    Do you have any more TMP interiors? Recreation Deck, Sick Bay etc.???

    • Thanks! Not sure how many interiors I haven’t displayed yet. Have I posted my Bridge work? Not sure at the moment. Currently I don’t have any Sickbay interiors as I’ve just never gotten around to that yet. I’ve had the Recreation Deck bug for a while now and just recently seriously began considering plans for one on the Phobos based closely on the TMP set, as well as one for the Miranda, based on the floor plans I’ve been referencing for that ship (though maybe a little smaller.)

      I tend to start by building individual elements and then throw them together in a more set like fashion. A faithful TMP recreation deck would be easier once I had dabbled in one for the Phobos that didn’t have to be so exacting which would could also conform to the ship’s actual hull lines rather than forcing one into such a confined space that it could never actually exist in. A faithful TMP recreation would be such a set, though that won’t stop me from building it eventually.

      I’ll probably try to get more done on my transporter room before I even start on anything like a sickbay, and there are of course tons of other incomplete interiors waiting in the wings as well. But if the bug bites me, I have no choice. ;D

  3. Hi Basill,
    First, I must compliment you on your attention to detail and clear talent with all your work. Second, THANK YOU for bringing to life the ships and places we love and long to see more of. Please, please post more of your work! I would love to eventually see a whole collection of “walkthroughs” (stem to stern)for the Akyazi and Loknar class ships as well as more “beauty” shots. I think you should even consider publishing them in a Tome for all of Star Trek fandom!! (I for one would buy a few copies)
    Keep up the wonderful work!

    • Thanks so much. I love details. It is a blessing and a curse. ;)
      Stem to stern sounds like quite a project, but even if it takes me 40 years, who knows I might actually do it someday! I’ve done a lot more than I ever thought I would, and all because I just love doing it.
