October 21 Prompt - Canon Event Fix-it
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
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
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
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
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.
October 27 Prompt - Shields Up
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 28 Prompt - Monster of the Week
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 31 Prompt - Alien Cultures
One of my favourite bits from the Star Trek Adventures TTRPG, is in the Beta Quadrant Sourcebook where it says that Klingons and Andorians both enjoy playing hockey, since becoming aware of the sport. The accompanying art is spectacular. Unlike this doodle that I just banged out after the trick-or-treaters stopped showing up to the door.
