Honestly, I just eyeballed it while looking at some reference images.

My go to for comparing ship sizes is the charts the owner of wixiban.com made based on the measurements included with the Eaglemoss models: https://www.wixiban.com/toys/eaglemoss-trek.htm

October 17 Prompt - Other Trek Crossover

My favourite Trek comic is The Q Conflict, which featured the crews of TOS, TNG, DS9, and VOY pulled into a squabble between Q and other omnipotent(ish) beings. This was inspired by one of the covers, featuring the *Enterprise, Enterprise D, Defiant, and Voyager. I would love a sequel featuring some other Trek crews, especially the Disco, LDecks, and PIC season 1&2 crews.

October 16 Prompt - Section 31

Do you think we're going to see William Boimler again in season five? I know not every loose end needs to be wrapped up, but coming to terms with William's "death" was a significant moment for Boimler, so I hope they get an episode to have him confront the fact that his transporter duplicate is actually alive and working for Section 31.

Anyways, I didn't have enough time to colour this one, but I'd like to at some point.

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.

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 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 8 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 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!

No, I haven’t taken the time to build a list of all the Canon Connections posts. I appreciate the suggestion.

October 6 Prompt - Mirrorverse

We know from DS9 that Spock becomes the emperor of the Terran Empire at some point (leading to the downfall of the Empire, because it's too week to defend itself from the Klingon-Cardassian Alliance), but outside of the comics, we don't actually see Emperor Spock at any point, and I haven't read those comics.

Anyways! I wasn't really feeling this prompt, so I left it until the last minute, and that's why it's just black line-art on white. Or, was I making a colouring book page? You decide!

October 5 Prompt - Time Travel

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.

If it it was based on a book I happened to bring along for entertainment, there's a good chance it would a John Scalzi novel, which means it could be "Redshirts", and that would be pretty surreal.

Or some Ninja Turtles comics.

October 4 Prompt - First Contact

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.

Thanks!

October 3 Prompt - Promotion

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 2 Prompt - Nebula

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 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.
