The mugato was this year’s. I was actually struggling to decide what would be appropriate. Almost went with the salt vampire.

This makes Section 31 sound like Oceans 11.

The scene of Georgiou being recruited on Qo’noS by Leland was a deleted scene from Disco season one, so canonically, Georgiou wasn’t not running that bar/drug den/brothel in the Orion district. Still, it kinda bumps me that they’re revisiting the idea of her being recruited by S31 while operating some sort of drinking establishment.

Maybe they can delve into Philipa’s backstory about always having wanted to run a little hole in the wall, and just fell into being the despotic emperor of the horniest fascist galactic state.

Thanks! The artists are all one person, and they are me. I’ve tried to do an annual Trek jack-o’-lantern for a few years now.

Halloween is about monsters and villains.

October 31 Prompt - Alien Cultures

One of my favourite bits from the Star Trek Adventures TTRPG, is in the Beta Quadrant Sourcebook where it says that Klingons and Andorians both enjoy playing hockey, since becoming aware of the sport. The accompanying art is spectacular. Unlike this doodle that I just banged out after the trick-or-treaters stopped showing up to the door.

October 28 Prompt - Monster of the Week

While I’ve been enjoying playing around with digital art, my true calling is carving festive gourds. Here’s my annual Trek themed jack-o’-lantern.

October 27 Prompt - Shields Up

I miss when when a Trek show would just got nab a bunch of props and be like, "This week the Enterprise is going to a planet where the culture developed their own Roman empire that never actually fell."

Not super happy with how this one turned out, but I’ve reached the point where looking at everything just appears to be a bunch of shapes, so I’m gonna call it done.

October 26 Prompt - Artificial Gravity

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.

I also wondered about the possibility of the transporter double, though one who choose to grow a beard like Riker’s as opposed to taking his name.

Hopefully though, if there are any Boimler S31 concerns, it will be specific to the William Boimler from the prime universe.

October 25 Prompt - Redshirts

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 24 Prompt - Department Rivalries

Reed hates the MACOs so much. 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.

Ran over time with this one, because there was no way I wasn’t going to watch the new LDecks episodes. If It wasn’t already too late, some background to block out where the figures are in relation to one another would be my goal.

October 23 Prompt - Holodeck

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 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 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 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.

If he’s going to be an extant character, I could see him as Trelene.

That’s awesome. I’ve been a big fan since “Orphan Black”.

He’s an actor and comedian from New Zealand. Off the top of my head, he’s been in:

• “Flight of the Concords”
• “Voltron”
• “What We Do In the Shadows” the movie, not sure about the series
• “Our Flag Means Death”

I’m pretty excited by the idea of him showing up in SNW. His line read of “We’re werewolves, not swear wolves,” lives in my head. My guess would be him playing a Mudd/Okana type figure.

The orange connecting cover in the bottom left might mark the first time since IDW started publishing these ongoing books that Tom Paris is recognizably himself.

I’m not super excited by this event. Lore rewriting the galaxy isn’t particularly interesting to me. Hopefully we’ll get a new Shaxs tie-in, like there was for Day of Blood.
