My name is Thomas Marrone and this is my art blog. I'm a UI Artist at Cryptic Studios working on Star Trek Online, though I'm more likely to post concept art and personal art projects here.
I also do a lot of stuff for David Weber's Honor Harrington novels, so if you're a fan of the Honorverse you should keep tabs on me as well!
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
More STO patches! Threw in a couple Klingon ones this time. :)
Class development patch I made for the Odyssey class, the newest class of Starfleet cruiser and the class of the U.S.S. Enterprise, NCC-1701-F
One of the first things that I got to do after they moved me to the Star Trek Online team officially was to design these guys. The effects artist wanted to update the art for our “Support Drone” power with something a bit more Starfleet flavored than what we had, and he suggested Exocomps. He asked me if I could come up with an updated design for them that would be current to 2409 era of our game, and I said “Yes plz.”
A few Starfleet patches I did in my spare time for Star Trek Online. They’ll be trickling into the game here and there over the next few months. The ASDB one is already in the new ship store in ESD (log in to STO’s public test server, Tribble, to check it out before Season 4 launches.)
This has certainly been a trip. Concept drawing for Cryptic’s Enterprise F. This is based on the winning fan design created by Adam Ihle and was passed on to our ship modeler, Adam Williams, who took the design to a whole new level. I highly recommend reading about the whole process here: http://www.startrekonline.com/node/2492
