My Star Trek fan art

Hello~
I just thought I'd share some of my Star Trek art with you all.
I draw in a anime style, and yes, I am aware that the torsos are long, that is my style. It's done on purpose, no need to point it out to me. ]:3

This was the first picture I did. It was for an art-trade I had with someone on Deviantart (hence my watermark (I always leave them on to protect my pictures)).
It turned out horrible, but it always takes me a bit to get use to drawing new characters, so forgive their appearance. ]XD;

What the DA member had requested was a picture of Nu!Kirk and Spock. So I just drew them on some random TOS looking planet.

Hopefully I will improve with drawing the characters. ]XD;;
(and FYI, I hate backgrounds, and I'm not good at them. So expect them to look bad.)

I will post some of my other pictures if people are interested. ]:3
 
Wow, this is nice. I really like it. Think about making up your own story lines and maybe doing a comic book?
 
Thank you both very much! ]X3

Actually I do have a comic that I recently started. It dosen't have anything to do with Trek (well besides two of the characters being hard core Trekkies). But I have also though about doing little Trek one shots and stuff for fun. ]:3

This was just a doodle I did for fun:

My dad and I always make fun of Kirk in those episodes where he dosen't get the love interest. As I doodled this NuKirk found his way into the picture too. Not only does lose the girl to Spock in the movie, but the girlfriend he was making out with most likely died in it. ]XD;;;

Bones and Natira came out horrible (her hair is hard to draw from this angle!). I need to practice on drawing Trek characters! >]X|

(Yes, I am a BonesxNatira fan.)
 
Thank you very much. ]:3

I did head-shot drawings of all the main characters form the different series (with the exception of DS9 because I haven't seen it (I am currently renting it on Netflix)).

Here's the first one with the enterprise crew.
Archer, T' pol, Trip
Malcolm, Travis, Hoshi
Phlox, Shran, Soval

I'm not really happy with how most of them came out. But I usually do a bad job the first couple of times I draw new characters. Hopefully I'll get them to look better as I draw them more.

Thank you! }X3

Here's the TOS characters.

Kirk, Spock, Bones, Scotty
Sulu, Uhura, Chekov, Chapel
Rand, Saavik, Sarek, Amanda

I hate how Bones came out (and he's my favorite Trek character, go figure, right?).
For Saavik I went with her Robin Curtis actress appearance rather then her Kristie Alley one. Even though Ms. Alley did a good job, every time I see her I think of other characters she played. Where as with Ms. Curtis I don't.
I may draw a Kristie Alley version of Saavik at some point though. ]:3

Excellent work! Much better than I could do (I'm lousy at drawing people in any style).

My only nitpick is that even though this is highly stylized, the long necks and long thin bodies make them all look like young teenagers to me. But as long as this style works for you, feel free to ignore my comment! :techman:
 
Aw come on B.J., Sombrero man freaking rocked!

Cafcow, great work! Somehow, Archer is the only one that doesn't really scream "Archer!" to me, though.

Aw, thank you!

Yeah! I didn't even really notice wit till I finished it. I knew something was off, but couldn't tell. Then after I was done I looked at it and realized what it was. That's how it always seems to be for me. Looks fine till I'm done, then I realize what I did wrong. ]XD;;
I'm trying to be conscious of that on my newer pictures. ]:3

Aw come on B.J., Sombrero man freaking rocked!

Sombrero man ....that is awesome. ]XD

Thank you very much!
Yeah, I completely agree, he jsut didn't turn out good at all. ]XD;;



Ok, I seriously, SERIOUSLY hated the way these ones came out.
I can not draw Picard. No matter how many times I tried he either looked too old or too young.

Picard, Riker, Data, Worf
Geordi, Beverly, Tasha, Troi
Ro, Guinan, Q and Wesley 'yes, I am a Mary-Sue' Crusher

Yeah, well, the body shape was mostly traced from some superhero comic I found. :alienblush::shifty: Even though I planned it this way from the start for the character design, you'll notice I still cheated with the face by completely covering it up!

¡Viva El Sombrero!

Nice work on those characters, Cafcow! Most are instantly recognizable. Q definitely needs a mischievous little grin, though!

I looked Sombrero man up, that is great! ]XDDD

Thanks! Yes, you are completely right on that one. }XD

And thank you beverlyann59 and kaisernathan1701. ]:3

Here's the Voyager cast:
Janeway, Chakotay, Tuvok, Tom,
B'Elanna, Seven, The Doctor, Harry
Kes, Naomi Wildman, Reginald Barclay, Icheb, and Neelix

I forgot to draw Chakotay's tat so I had to draw it after I already finished (why it looks weird and too big).
I just can't draw bald people right. I need to practice that.
I put Barclay here because he appeared in VOY more then TNG (6 episodes in VOY and 5 in TNG (then of course he appeared in First Contact)). I love his character, so I had to add him. ]XD
I forgot to add the light reflections in Neelix's eyes, so they look weird. I couldn't find a close up picture of his eyes, but the picture I had they looked dark. I found a closer picture later and they were lighter, so I don't know if it was contacts that were forgotten, or if it was the lighting, but his eyes are wrong here...my bad.
