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 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.
