American concept artist who worked as an illustrator on the first season of Deep Space Nine, helping to define the look of the Cardassian-built station and its hardware.
Ricardo Delgado was one of the illustrators assembled by production designer Herman Zimmerman when Deep Space Nine went into pre-production in 1992.
He contributed concept drawings for the interiors of the station, whose heavy, ribbed Cardassian architecture was meant to feel unlike anything Starfleet would build, and designed props and alien technology for the pilot Emissary and the episodes that followed.
He left after the early part of the run for feature film work and is also known as a comics creator.
