Hey, this is a little bit late, but it occurs to me that it's now October, and that means it's also Trektober, the annual Star Trek inspired daily drawing prompt challenge.

There are three sets of prompts which can be found at: https://www.tumblr.com/trektober-challenge. The first is a set of general Trek inspired prompts. The second is Trek specific. The third set is NSFW.

I'll be trying to participate us, and I'll be sharing the results here. I'd like to invite anyone else interested in attempting some or all of the challenge to do so as well. Maybe spoiler tag any of the NSFW entries, though.

Happy Trektober!

    October 8 Prompt - Away Mission

    Show image

    My first attempt to use the animation tools in Clip Studio Paint, and I'm happy with how this one turned out. Especially seeing as I scrapped my original attempt and started over when I was almost done with Pike.

      October 9 Prompt - Diplomatic Incident

      Show

      "It's a finger trap!" When I was a kid, I thought the end of "The Last Outpost", where Riker requests permission to beam a crate of Chinese finger puzzles over to the Ferengi starship was pretty funny. In the hindsight of adulthood, it's pretty silly to think that the Ferengi, even TNG Ferengi, would be so flummoxed by some woven paper cylinders, but it's still fun to think that there's a D'Kora-class marauder out there full of Ferengi out for revenge against the Enterprise over such a simple thing.

        October 10 Prompt - Shuttlecraft

        Show

        Let's call this one a work in progress. I decided that the prompt would be a good opportunity to make an updated space burrito truck for my user icon. However it's game night, so I was drawing in between turns of Dune: Imperium, and thus only got the bare bones done. I will definitely be revisiting this to finish it up.

        Also, going out of town for Thanksgiving -- or as we here in Canada call it, Canadian Thanksgiving -- and I'll have limited internet access, so I probably will have to post the next handful all at once upon returning to civilization.

          October 15 Prompt - Red Alert

          Show

          For this prompt, I had to pay tribute to the best to ever do it; when Riker says, "Red alert!" you know shit is about to pop off. I've never actually played a Phoenix Wright game, but I do like the objection meme.

            October 16 Prompt - Section 31

            Show

            Do you think we're going to see William Boimler again in season five? I know not every loose end needs to be wrapped up, but coming to terms with William's "death" was a significant moment for Boimler, so I hope they get an episode to have him confront the fact that his transporter duplicate is actually alive and working for Section 31.

            Anyways, I didn't have enough time to colour this one, but I'd like to at some point.

              October 17 Prompt - Other Trek Crossover

              Show

              My favourite Trek comic is The Q Conflict, which featured the crews of TOS, TNG, DS9, and VOY pulled into a squabble between Q and other omnipotent(ish) beings. This was inspired by one of the covers, featuring the *Enterprise, Enterprise D, Defiant, and Voyager. I would love a sequel featuring some other Trek crews, especially the Disco, LDecks, and PIC season 1&2 crews.

                October 18 Prompt - Captain's Log

                Show

                "Log" might be a generous description of the branch I ended up drawing, but by the time I decided I wasn't happy with it, it was too late. Also, the positioning of the Jem'hadar makes it look like Sisko hit him while he was on the ground, and if I had more time to fool around with it, I would have arranged him better.

                  October 19 Prompt - Decontamination

                  Show

                  I am the gamemaster for an ongoing Star Trek Adventure's campaign, and for today's prompt I decided to draw my players' ship's counselor, Doctor Irin Ch'Kilress, a character I've wanted to draw for a while. Why did I draw a dumpy Andorian therapist for the Decontamination prompt? Because therapy is like decontamination for your mind! But also because I didn't want to draw some horny ENT decon chamber scene.

                    October 20 Prompt - Space Madness

                    Show

                    I was really enjoying working this one, and I would have liked to do more than just Bones' face, but as I've mentioned before, I am very slow.

                  Honestly, I just eyeballed it while looking at some reference images.

                  My go to for comparing ship sizes is the charts the owner of wixiban.com made based on the measurements included with the Eaglemoss models: https://www.wixiban.com/toys/eaglemoss-trek.htm
