October 28 Prompt - Monster of the Week

*removed externally hosted image*

While I've been enjoying playing around with digital art, my true calling is carving festive gourds. Here's my annual Trek themed jack-o'-lantern.

October 27 Prompt - Shields Up

*removed externally hosted image*

I miss when when a Trek show would just got nab a bunch of props and be like, "This week the Enterprise is going to a planet where the culture developed their own Roman empire that never actually fell."

Not super happy with how this one turned out, but I've reached the point where looking at everything just appears to be a bunch of shapes, so I'm gonna call it done.

October 26 Prompt - Artificial Gravity

*removed externally hosted image*

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.

I also wondered about the possibility of the transporter double, though one who choose to grow a beard like Riker's as opposed to taking his name.

Hopefully though, if there are any Boimler S31 concerns, it will be specific to the William Boimler from the prime universe.

October 25 Prompt - Redshirts

*removed externally hosted image*

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 24 Prompt - Department Rivalries

*removed externally hosted image*

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 23 Prompt - Holodeck

*removed externally hosted image*

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 21 Prompt - Canon Event Fix-it

*removed externally hosted image*

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 20 Prompt - Space Madness

*removed externally hosted image*

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 19 Prompt - Decontamination

*removed externally hosted image*

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.

That's awesome. I've been a big fan since "Orphan Black".

The orange connecting cover in the bottom left might mark the first time since IDW started publishing these ongoing books that Tom Paris is recognizably himself.

I'm not super excited by this event. Lore rewriting the galaxy isn't particularly interesting to me. Hopefully we'll get a new Shaxs tie-in, like there was for Day of Blood.

October 18 Prompt - Captain's Log

*removed externally hosted image*

"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.

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

October 17 Prompt - Other Trek Crossover

*removed externally hosted image*

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 16 Prompt - Section 31

*removed externally hosted image*

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 15 Prompt - Red Alert

*removed externally hosted image*

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 10 Prompt - Shuttlecraft

*removed externally hosted image*

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 9 Prompt - Diplomatic Incident

*removed externally hosted image*

"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.
