USSBurritoTruck@startrek.website 2 weeks agoOctober 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.

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.

October 6 Prompt - Mirrorverse
Image
We know from DS9 that Spock becomes the emperor of the Terran Empire at some point (leading to the downfall of the Empire, because it’s too week to defend itself from the Klingon-Cardassian Alliance), but outside of the comics, we don’t actually see Emperor Spock at any point, and I haven’t read those comics.
Anyways! I wasn’t really feeling this prompt, so I left it until the last minute, and that’s why it’s just black line-art on white. Or, was I making a colouring book page? You decide!

October 7 Prompt - Academy Era
Image
Did you know that Kirk and Tilly are canonically the same age, and thus probably attended Starfleet Academy at the same time? You do now! I also decided to give them the cadet uniform we see in a couple TOS episodes, including “Shore Leave”, and I’m not sure how well that translates.
Time went a little long on this one so I technically missed the mark on finishing it, which makes the fact that I don’t think I like it all that much doubly unfortunate. In my head I had in mind a sort of children’s storybook style, but the execution leaves something to be desired. Oh well!

October 10 Prompt - Away Mission

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.
