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.

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.

”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.

‘Academy’ hasn’t even started filming, so likely not.

Spock’s insecurities being the cause for whatever is happening here is my hope as well. It’s a funny moment, but it falls apart under even the slightest scrutiny, so I’m hoping Trelene did it or whatever.

If there’s enough interest, I’m fully willing to start putting up the comics discussion posts again. The issue initially was I was almost always the only one sharing my thoughts about the books.

I think you’re good on spoilers since it is the first episode where the shuttlebay three reveal happens.

The crew knows that shuttle bay three is there, they just call it ”the restricted hanger” which makes me question what the difference between a shuttle bay and a hanger is. I don’t think that accounts for the three missing decks. It could be that Zero was simply wrong.

Or it could be that deck numbering aboard Starfleet ships makes no damn sense.

Also, unless you count the Infinity there aren’t any shuttles in shuttle bay three.

Thank you! These are always fantastic. Please keep them up!

Thanks, I appreciate it. I’m going through season two as I’m able, but with Netflix dropping them all at once, and my other obligations, I can’t say I’m going to be especially quick with the posts. Hopefully I can do two or three a week, but I make no promises.

Please explain what it is about my post you think is trolling.
