USSBurritoTruck@startrek.website 5 weeks agoOctober 7 Prompt - Academy Era
Did you know that Kirk and Tilly are canonically the same age, and thus probably attended Starfleet Academy at the same time? You do now! I also decided to give them the cadet uniform we see in a couple TOS episodes, including “Shore Leave”, and I’m not sure how well that translates.
Time went a little long on this one so I technically missed the mark on finishing it, which makes the fact that I don’t think I like it all that much doubly unfortunate. In my head I had in mind a sort of children’s storybook style, but the execution leaves something to be desired. Oh well!

October 10 Prompt - Away Mission

My first attempt to use the animation tools in Clip Studio Paint, and I’m happy with how this one turned out. Especially seeing as I scrapped my original attempt and started over when I was almost done with Pike.

October 9 Prompt - Diplomatic Incident

“It’s a finger trap!” When I was a kid, I thought the end of “The Last Outpost”, where Riker requests permission to beam a crate of Chinese finger puzzles over to the Ferengi starship was pretty funny. In the hindsight of adulthood, it’s pretty silly to think that the Ferengi, even TNG Ferengi, would be so flummoxed by some woven paper cylinders, but it’s still fun to think that there’s a D’Kora-class marauder out there full of Ferengi out for revenge against the Enterprise over such a simple thing.

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.
