What kind of stuff did you get to design for Deep Space Nine?
TL;DROn Deep Space Nine, Martin worked on the runabout with Rick Sternbach, some medical items, and his first prop, the Cardassian field control unit, then ships and many alien props.
The first thing I ever designed for the show, I worked with Rick Sternbach, the illustrator at the time, and we did the runabout design, and I think I did a little bit of medical stuff, and then my first official prop was the Cardassian field control unit. And I have a picture of that in my office to remind me that was my first actual illustrator assignment in the entertainment industry. And I noticed that someone has a reproduction that they sell on eBay. You can buy that little prop now. I don't mean to do a plug or anything.
And then I went on to do some ship design, and a lot of that job was doing prop design, because it's a space station and the premise of the show is that an alien culture comes in, visits the station, and they have to have their own stuff. So it's a lot of alien bags, alien weapons, this and that.
