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 10 Prompt - Shuttlecraft

    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 15 Prompt - Red Alert

      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 16 Prompt - Section 31

        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 17 Prompt - Other Trek Crossover

          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

            “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

              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

                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

                  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.

            All right, I have to ask - what did you do to get the scale right? It looks like you nailed it.
