Cheque out Star Trek (2009) concept art by James Clyne!

When the J.J. Abrams Star Trek motion-picture show began pre-production in early on 2007 production designer Scott Chambliss started with two veteran concept illustrators: James Clyne and Ryan Church.

Clyne shared his illustrations in his portfolio and spoke with TrekMovie.com about the process.

James Clyne is a professional person concept artist and art manager who'due south worked on blockbuster movies like Avatar (2009), Star Expedition Into Darkness (2013) and Transformers (2007).

Bank check out the residual of the pictures after the jump (click to enlarge) and read why there were so many arguments about the design of the Narada.

Clyne said, "Information technology was a lot of fun. JJ was fantastic to work with and very approachable. Throwing ideas was really collaborative…JJ wanted us to explore new visuals because he wanted to create a whole new world and reinvigorate Star Trek, which he did."

Narada
He "mostly had a blank page and that there was no detailed description for the ship in the script beyond calling it the 'Battleship Narada' and that it was from the future and not a traditional looking Romulan transport. JJ Abrams directed Clyne to create something 'never seen before' and said he wanted something 'threatening looking' which is what he got.

"According to Clyne, he envisioned that considering the ship was traveling through fourth dimension (what he thought was dorsum and forth through fourth dimension), and that it had 'contracted some kind of  virus, then the ship became like an organism.' As for the size of the transport, Clyne notes "at that place was a lot of fence well-nigh that, it is massive, but not as large every bit 5'ger.

"Clyne tells TrekMovie that some involved with the film, including some designers at ILM, had idea that the transport moved like a squid with the points moving forrard, so on some sketches he had to note which end was the rear and even draw arrows on it some times. Clyne says 'I thought information technology was more than menacing to have the spikes frontward.'"

Kelvin Interiors
"The outside of the USS Kelvin was designed by Clyne'south collaborator Ryan Church building (who also designed the Jellyfish and the USS Enterprise), however Clyne was responsible for the interiors, including the bridge, corridors, the turbolift and the shuttlebay. Regarding the look, Clyne said Abrams and production designer Scott Chambliss wanted the Kelvin (originally chosen 'Iowa') to be more than like traditional Star Trek designs, merely also to exist more 'functional' and have 'more than of a battleship aesthetic.' Clyne said he drew inspiration from the TOS bridge, the span of the USS Reliant from Wrath of Khan and electric current military ships and submarines. Clyne admits that even though he was familiar and liked the Star Trek Tv set series and films, he didn't consider himself an expert. However, he says that Paramount actually had a 'Star Trek expert' on staff who would 'pore over the designs to keep united states in check.'"

Vulcan Architecture and Vistas
"Clyne was also tasked with designing the vistas of planet Vulcan. Clyne used Vasquez Rocks and SkyRose Chapel as the footing for his designs, as both locations had already been selected to exist used for the Vulcan scenes. Clyne came up with the idea for the 'hanging buildings' which were used in the final film. Clyne tells TrekMovie that it was originally planned for Vulcan to have a heavier atmosphere and ruddy heaven, simply as we know Vulcan concluded upwards with a bluish heaven (although Bob Orci contends Vulcan's sky is 'seasonal')."
