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.

October 2 Prompt - Nebula
Image
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 3 Prompt - Promotion
Image
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 4 Prompt - First Contact
Image
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
Image
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.
