USSBurritoTruck@startrek.website 3 weeks agoOctober 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
Image
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
Image
Reed hates the MACOs so much.
Ran over time with this one, because there was no way I wasn’t going to watch the new LDecks episodes. Also, 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.

October 25 Prompt - Redshirts
Image
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
Image
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.
