rip If you’re just discovering us today, please visit all of my Star Trek Themed Inktober Comics here. You’ve probably noticed that I’ve modified my posting schedule to every other day. This means my Star Trek themed Inktober will continue sometime into November. With day 23’s prompt, ‘rip,’ we have the return of the Gorn,…

chef I continue to fall behind, but also continue to carry on. Day 22’s prompt is ‘chef’ starring Neelix, from Star Trek Voyager, who took over in the ship’s kitchen. I think they decided to have a cook in order to reserve replicator power? I haven’t seen many episodes of Voyager. And I just realized…

sleep Maybe trying to show the different approaches to sleep, or sleeplessness, rather, that different captains have. pencils Here’s a shot of the pencils before I inked the page. For the captain’s quarters, I found this great resource. For Kirk’s image, I referenced Star Trek VI, and in particular this great read on the movie,…

coral Another of those Inktober drawings where I had just a single image but didn’t know the story. This time the idea was from the point of view of Livingston, the fish in the aquarium of Picard’s ready room, looking out at the captain. I doodled ideas in my sketchbook. Lynda Barry, I think, talks…

dizzy This was another of those ideas that took a long time to come up with. Back in September when I was first thinking about these ideas, all I had was a few notes in the sketchbook like ‘Picard ice skating?’ Just yesterday I hit upon the idea of the bridge crew doing donuts in…

Trap Today’s gag (I don’t love that word, gag, does anybody have a suggestion for what to call the twist or story in a comic? Maybe turn, how about turn. Let’s try turn. Maybe it will stick.) came from the idea that everybody and I mean everybody is there waiting for Admiral Ackbar, when he…

Storm Last night I hit a wall of exhaustion after drawing the strip and just couldn’t get to the inks, so today’s inktober is arriving a little late in the day. I’m starting to spend longer on each strip, too. The last two have taken me about 4 hours each, from drawing to completed inks,…

Outpost Researching today’s prompt outpost in memory alpha, I hit upon the Starfleet outposts that are built into asteroids on the edge of the neutral zone between the Federation and the Romulans. In the original series episode Balance of Terror these outposts are being destroyed by an unknown ship. I decided not to reference those…

Day 14 Armor An armored Klingon from the Kelvin timeline for today’s strip. This morning I woke up early and did another inked version, but ended up going with the original. Though the inking feels super clumsy on today’s strip, this version was more interesting than the second version I did. I’m not entirely sure…

Day 13 Dune I read Dune for the first time in January. I’m re-reading it again now. Taking it much slower this time. Enjoying it more. If you haven’t read it before, you should give it a shot. The first 60 pages or are difficult, Herbert throws everything at you and expects you to pick…

Day 12 Slippery Today’s slug-like creature was really inspired by Peter David’s run on DC Comic’s 1984 Star Trek series. David embraced The Animated Series’s ability to populate the crew with non-humanoids, since it’s not any more expensive to draw a character with three arms than it is to draw a traditional humanoid. Sketches Here’s…

Day 11 Disgusting For today’s prompt, I pretty much stole the hilarious teaser of the season 2 episode from Next Generation, Time Squared, where Riker prepared ‘Owon Egg Omelette’s for his friends. (For some reason, I inexplicably called them ‘Owog Eggs in the panel.) I removed Data from the scene entirely, added a little projectile…

Day 10 Hope Just a single image today. A moment from Star Trek III: The Search for Spock, Scotty, Kirk, and McCoy, where Kirk gives them hope for survival by destroying his own ship. I think most of my Star Trek love comes from Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan and this movie, which…

Day 9 Throw Counselor Troi and Lt Worf doing a little judo. I was inspired by the Next Generation Episode Second Chances, where I thought they were doing judo, but apparently I wasn’t paying attention, because Worf was actually leading a class in Mok’ bara. I am a bad Trekker. Inktobers Past You can visit…
