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 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.

            October 21 Prompt - Canon Event Fix-it

            Show

            I cannot say with certainty with the folks with created the prompt list intended "fix-it" to mean, but I'm choosing to interpret it as something that would "fix" an event in canon. And I think it would be fair to say that there is a lot of little things about canon Trek that I personally would like to maybe...finesse a little bit. However, and maybe it's recency bias, if I was king of Star Trek for a day and got to make one big change, it would be Jack Crusher's whole existence.

              October 23 Prompt - Holodeck

              Show

              You would think they'd figure out a way to stop accidently creating life, or, failing that, stop using the machine that accidentally creates life.

              When I conceptualized this one, there were more eyes, and I was going to animate them opening and closing, but I already went way over time on this one.

                October 24 Prompt - Department Rivalries

                Show

                Reed hates the MACOs so much. It was a struggle to figure out what to draw at first, because there aren't really departmental rivalries in Trek. The Science and Engineering aren't at trying to outdo one another. Then I remembered ENT.

                Ran over time with this one, because there was no way I wasn't going to watch the new LDecks episodes. If It wasn't already too late, some background to block out where the figures are in relation to one another would be my goal.

                  October 25 Prompt - Redshirts

                  Show

                  When I saw what the prompt was, I knew I had to pay tribute to the Cerritos' Redshirts club by drawing Casey and Jennifer. I would have included Castro and Taylor as well, but I knew I wouldn't have enough time.

                  Pretty happy with how this one turned out, even though I didn't notice just wonky Casey's white band on his uniform is until I'd already uploaded the image.

                    October 26 Prompt - Artificial Gravity

                    Show

                    For a movie as good as it is, there's a lot of faffing about in the middle of "Star Trek: The Undiscovered Country" looking for the gravity boots, and escaping from Rura Penthe.

        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
