But have ya ever joined a existing fandom- a community that’d been around… since before you were even born by a decade or more… and suddenly find yourself in the fandom- And- and it’s not you’ve been part of it for years- as long as these other people who have been children and now are becoming GRANDPARENTS themselves…
And yet- you feel YOU FEEL like you’ve waited just as long as these people have for this one THIS ONE moment to finally happen? That you’ve been through what these other people feel? That you can chant and hug and scream and yell and cry with these people cuz it feels HUST AS IMPORTANT and emotional to you like you’ve been waiting 30 years too?
Because that’s what I’ve been soo happy about- it took 30 years for this one thing to happen and I feel I’ve been there since that too and Ute I. Only got into the fandom 5-6 years ago and yet- it feels like I’ve been waiting even longer than that, like I can feel where they are coming from
BECAUSE THEY HAVE BROIGTH HER VACK, THEY BROUGHT THE ENTERPRISE D BACK BITCHES IM SOO GODAMN HAPPY UM CRYINF AGAINNNNN
Space: the final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. Its continuing mission: to explore strange new worlds. To seek out new life and new civilizations. To boldly go where no one has gone before!
Hello everyone! Let's start the new year with something special. I'm a fan of Star Trek and after finishing my 835th re-watch of Star Trek: The New Generation, I've realized that I haven't done any Star Trek related art yet. This will not stand! I had to come up with a little Enterprise tribute first, but you can rest assured that more Trek related art will trickle in between my usual fantasy uploads. I wonder, perhaps a couple of portraits? Any Trek fans have ideas? We shall see.
I hope you like how this one turned out, I surely enjoyed it
Ohhaughhhhohhh. I am scrunching up a curly phone cord into inextricable tangles I'm so deep thought.
Picard: Classical nautical/Navy. He'd do a mix of real historical sailor's tattoos with accurate meanings mixed with old style illustrations (lots of subtle references to The Tempest probably). He's a man with a plan and would refrain from anything too out of theme to maintain visual cohesiveness (but he'd sneak in a small, secret orchid for the woman in his life who loves orchids).
Riker: This man is a romantic. He'd have keepsakes from every person he's fallen in love with but instead of removing them, keep them as fond reminders of the people who meant most to him in his life. But he has one tattoo on his inner bicep that says "Imzadi" written in Betazoid script. He'd also have a cheeky Horga'hn on his inner thigh.
Data: He'd do extensive research on why people get tattoos, think deeply, then have Lal's positronic signature synthesized into pixels and then those pixels arranged into the words "I will feel it for both of us" put on his chest, over his heart. On his shoulder he'd have a stylized painting of Spot and a band around his forearm that looks a lot like Geordi's visor. On his inner wrist: 221B.
Beverly: Realistic watercolor medicinal herbs with Celtic undertones (for Caldos). Like Picard, she'd go with an organized theme to maintain an aesthetic. She'd have leaves and flowers snaking around her arms and shoulders, vine like, with their names printed in old fashioned script. Two flowers though (a water lily and larkspur), unbeknownst to the untrained eye, would not be herbs but the birth flowers for July, the birth month for both Picard and Wesley.
Geordi: A minimalist. He'd have the blueprint for Cochrane's Phoenix on one arm and a string of numbers on the other: the stardate he was promoted to Chief Engineer as well as NCC1701D. On the inside of his wrist: 221B.
Deanna: On her calf, she'd have a Western style rose and violet, a reference to: "Roses love sunshine violets love dew
Angels in heaven know I love you", lyrics from "Down in the Valley", a song her father used to sing to her. Hidden away, she'd have a cowboy playing a trombone she got as a dare with the intent to remove it but... well, she kind of likes it.
Worf: the Mogh family crest on his right pectoral. Except it's not a tattoo, it's a brand. This is because it's how Klingon's did it several hundred years ago and that's a superior method to the painless (honor-less) laser injection tattoos of the present day (maybe they beam the ink in?). Beverly hates this monstrosity of scarring she has to see every year for his physical but Worf is very proud of it.
Decided to finally try drawing the USS Enterprise-D for the first time.
I thank the source of this inspiration, Star Trek Picard S3, for the pain I went through trying to get the angle and testing out the proportions XD
This was my first attempt drawing ANY ship from Star Trek, and thus- obviously my first time with the NCC-1701-D Enterprise… THE SAUCER WAS HELL.
Honestly- if I can eventually “master” the nacelles and get my attempts at the saucer correct/perfectly… I can then, probably draw a vast majority of the Starfleet ships by that point 😂
If ya can guess what shot this is from (I used a shot I had of the Enterprise on my phone for the source)- then ya know 😉
The fifth Starfleet ship to bear the name, the Galaxy-class, USS Enterprise NCC-1701D served under the command of Captain Jean-Luc Picard from Stardate 41124 to Stardate 48650.1 when it was destroyed in a devious attack by the Duras sisters.
Some people might call me a #nerd, and they would be correct. A #drawing of #NCC1701D made in @procreate. #iPadArt #startrek inspired. #livelongandprosper 🖖🏻 🪐 https://www.instagram.com/p/B8FELTrg08G/?igshid=u27xbmuxr70s
