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 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 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 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 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.

            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 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 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.
