Hey guys,
I finished my two Constitution refits last year, but hadn't made any images with them! I had some down time the last couple of weeks, and decided to fix the problem.
First, is the Starship Endeavour in Lunar orbit. I was trying to match the angle of one of the shots in the latest trailer, of the "mystery ship". The Moon in the background is actually from a photograph my Uncle took out in my back yard, a few years ago. I think it turned out pretty good.

Next, we have the Starship Challenger narrowly missing a strange, extremely large volcanic event on Io. Someone over at TrekBBS suggested that Io would be a good subject for a backdrop, because they hadn't really seen it that often. Both elements in the background came from NASA, but I messed with them in Photoshop pretty heavily.

Hope you guys like them.

I like the nacelles of the Endeavour, but I'm finding it hard to fully appreciate their shape from that angle, maybe it's just me though.
As for the Challenger, I really like the texture work, particularly how the new nacelles look with red Bussards.
