Of course, both stances would have a similar look to them, so it may have been a bit of both, depending on who happened to be interviewing him at the time.
So, while I could swear I remembered him talking about football players, it could have been body-builders. I had never seen Star Trek before, I didn't know there was already a bird of prey. The Klingon Bird of Prey was inspired by body builders' shape when they flex their muscles like crab. In fact, you are credited as the inventor of the distinctive look of the Klingon Bird of Prey starship. (Photos aren't the greatest, but these are the best I could find.)Īctually, I just found a snippet from an interview with the designer here:īesides Star Wars, you were also involved with Star Trek. You can see this best from a head-on view, though you probably wouldn't live long enough to tell anyone about it. I can't find a source to cite this unfortunately, but I recall watching a "behind-the-scenes" show years ago where someone (presumably the designer) mentioned that its major inspiration was a football player, with his head down/forward and padded shoulders.
