October 5 Prompt - Time Travel

This is my favourite one, so far. I was honestly at a bit of a loss as to what to do for the prompt originally, but then I thought about just drawing the Guardian of Forever and calling it a day. That led me to drawing Carl from Disco, and trying to do that in an LDecks style, which in turn led to the headline in The Star Dispatch about Boimler getting snacked upon by a tyrannosaur.

If it it was based on a book I happened to bring along for entertainment, there’s a good chance it would a John Scalzi novel, which means it could be “Redshirts”, and that would be pretty surreal.

Or some Ninja Turtles comics.

October 4 Prompt - First Contact

I’m pretty vocal about the fact that “Star Trek: First Contact” is a movie I don’t have much love for. However, I really do like the TNG episode, “First Contact”. So here’s Riker and the Malcorian nurse played by Bebe Neuwirth. Is the scene with them a bit problematic in hindsight? Yeah, it’s not great.

I got to put a bit more time into this one, and I think it show. My original intent was to do more than just a pair of floating heads, but even though I was able to block out the extra time, and I cannot stress this enough, I am very slow. So this is what I’ve got! I like it. I like how Lanel, the Malcorian nurse, turned out more than I do Riker. I used one photo reference for both, and in hindsight I should have used a different angle for Riker.

Thanks!

October 3 Prompt - Promotion

Another quick one, though I’m happier with this drawing than I am yesterday’s.

It’s kinda wack how many non-Starfleet organizations in Trek seem to focus their upward mobility primarily on the murder and supplanting of superiors. Seems like a bad system, honestly.

October 2 Prompt - Nebula

I had to bang this one out fairly quick, and I’m not super happy with it. However, the Nebula-class has been a favourite design of mine since the kitbash first showed up in TNG, so I did enjoy looking up a bunch of references before rushed through scratching it out on my own.

October 1 Prompt: Wormhole

I might have been a bit more ambitious with this one than my skill level and time allotment allowed for. I’ve never been a particularly quick artist, and I’m relatively new to drawing exclusively digitally. Part of my desire to attempt Trektober this year was wanting the practice getting things done on a deadline, with my already full schedule.

Anyways! I like aspects of the drawing, but even as I was working on it there were things that I wished I could stop and redraw, but I knew there wasn’t going to be enough time, so it is what it is. As it is, I went about 15 minutes longer than what I had intended to spend on the piece.

Obviously I decided to interpret the “wormhole” prompt somewhat literally, and I got to make up some rando Lower Deckers. It is definitely going to be a challenge for myself to not just default to trying to emulate the LDecks style for most of these prompts.

What link?

I’m posting this quite late. I, of course, take no responsibility for the fact, and will instead blame Netflix for dropping the entire season all at once, and the fact that it is still not legitimately available to stream in Canada. Also, I just kinda wasn’t feeling it.

But we’re back on track! I don’t know if I’ll be able to get out the rest of PRO season 2 before LDS season 5 begins, but my plan is to at least try to go through two or three episodes a week.

32nd Century Historians: “Doctor Bashir was good friends with a Cardassian tailor named Garak. Though both men would occasionally take a romantic partner, their friendship was the most enduring relationship in both men’s lives.

”Doctor Bashir and mister Garak’s friendship was characterized by frequent lunch engagements, discussions of classic literature, and long sessions together in the holosuites.

”Eventually the two men retired together to a small pleasure planet that catered primarily to males. Mister Garak ramped down his tailoring to work exclusively with leather, and the pair raised prize winning voles.

”After Garak passed away in his sleep, Doctor Bashir is said to have become distraught. He refused to leave mister Garak’s gravesite, and died himself only three weeks later.”

My interpretation of Rom’s portrayal was that he was playing up the simple earnestness of the character, as a ploy to lull Admiral Vassery into accepting the terms of deal as part of a test to see if the Federation had the lobes to be viable allies to the Ferengi Alliance.

I’m curious about what your issue with Rom’s portrayal was.

Hardly!

Nope, as mentioned in the post, I didn’t make this one.

I think you may be referring to “Extreme Risk”, where Paris builds the Flyer.

“Drive” is the episode where Paris’ ongoing midlife crisis prompts him to convince Janeway that allowing him to enter the Flyer in a politically charged race between former enemy states is a good idea.

NuTrek apparently began in 1973.

”I guess you guys weren’t ready for that, but your clone offspring are are going to love it.”

Only if they can’t help it.
