Deryl Skelton's art on DC's ST:TNG comics went beyond tracing character and set photos to direct photocopying sometimes, or at least it seemed that way.
Art in Star Trek Comics

different scifi series, but there were some comic adaptations of Honor Harrington books with... artistic discrepancies... that i made the ultimate decision not to buy when they got to a scene of a space station and there were just flat out UNSC frigates from halo 2 front and center...
Here is one of many cringeworthy examples of tracing in IDW's 2010s shovelware, courtesy of Star Trek: Boldly Go #4 (2017-01-11). Not only is Spock's mental battle against the Borg copied from his hearing at the Vulcan Science Academy, but the Romulan ship bridge is copied from Donatra's warbird Valdore in Star Trek Nemesis, complete with a guy standing to the viewer's right side!
(To my fury, Mike Johnson claimed on Twitter or somewhere that the D'Deridex class name had indeed surfaced over a century ahead of schedule due to the Kelvin timeline, but that is a rant for another thread.)

That's actually the Aegis-class U.S.S. Endeavour (NCC-1805), James T. Kirk's interim command while awaiting the completion of the Enterprise-A. But given the Aegis class's similarity to the Constitution class, I have to assume those bridge scenes are traced from the Kelvin movie scenes.
I liked the idea of the Boldly Go series, and I wish IDW would do more Kelvin comics, but alas.
Since this is a comics art thread, I'll just say that Commander Valas, Kirk's Romulan first officer aboard the Endeavour in the first story arc, was really attractive. She's one of the threads I wish IDW would follow up on, but who would care about a dangling plot point from almost ten years ago today?
