I'm an art *****, and I've been looking for any digital versions of both Perpetual Entertainment as well as Cryptic concept art available for my perusal. Does anyone know of and care to share any good resources for either of these two varieties of resources?

I would suggest googling "star trek online concept art". You'll find alot

Oh, I've found tons. I'm just an Aspergian individual, which is second cousin to OCD in compulsions. I want more. Latinum is beyond my means, so I'm turning to concept art. I'm sure you understand.

Im afraid Cryptic has released a pitiful amount of concept art compared to games like *** and SWTOR and WAR, they just never had a concept art thing going I guess.

<casually thumbs thru "The Art of STO" while whistling Dixie past a graveyard>

<puts the book back in it's CE case>

Dang, still got those 3 unused guest passes

Yep, that is a nice book. And considering you can get the CE for only $11(Amazon), a pretty good buy for the book and pin IMO.

Never did use those, lol : ) (not for lack of trying)

Haven't decided what to do with the combadge yet either.

Pin it...straight to skin. You know that you're a diehard ST fan, just DO IT!

...at least you can remove the pin, a tat would last forever or until the expensive laser surgery

Good notion on the collectors edition, I'll have to snag a copy for the goodies present within. That shall add to my stockpile.

On the whole, it seems Star Trek Online could definitely use a stronger emphasis on concept, development and production art to showcase on their website in the form of galleries. It'd drastically add to the content available there, which is pretty minimal, sad to say.

It'd also be nice to see some fanart features/galleries there as well. But right now there focus seems to be elsewhere, for the moment.

I would HOPE that their focus is elsewhere for a long while...we still need Rommies and Cardies and Ferengis and Jem'Hadar and Iconians and Borgies and of course ALL of the ships to go with the above factions.
