Firebird's Sketch of the Week Series

[Firebird]

And here's a special Christmas post, featuring my SEVEN-HUNDREDTH illustration!

Drawing 700 / 2025 Artwork 102: A Christmas party went wrong aboard the USS Voyager when poor Harry Kim got under the mistletoe in the holodeck.

This one came to me in a vision when I realized it'd been far too long since I last climbed the steps of Peak Stupid.

Harry Kim?? Sorry, but that looks more like Sheldon Cooper.

Maybe that's why Young Sheldon keeps mooooving away from that cow in the opening credits.

Drawing 701 / 2025 Artwork 103: Haida-san from Unexciting Date. I discovered this manga earlier in the week and quickly binged through the translated chapters. It's really refreshing to read a seinen romcom series with characters that feel like actual people instead of a mass of tropes. I give it a big recommendation if you like the romcom genre!

Drawing 702 / 2025 Artwork 104: EVA-Trek Season 3 Production Art - Pieter Langley. Langley is the deadbeat birth father of Lt. J.G. Asuka L. Soryu. When last we saw Langley, he'd abandoned Asuka before she was born, moved to the Cardassian DMZ, and ended up joining the Maquis. At the end of season 2, he'd attacked and crippled the USS Nerv in a surprise attack.

Happy New Year, everyone!

As Studio Firebird heads into 2026, I'm going to be doing a special series of illustrations to celebrate Star Trek's 60th anniversary. This year, each month will feature illustrations dedicated to a specific series in the franchise, in addition to my regular EVA-Trek production sketches. I'm looking at the following schedule for the year:

January: The Original Series and first six feature films
February: The Next Generation and its four features
March: Deep Space Nine
April: Voyager
May: Enterprise
June: The Kelvin Timeline movies
July: Discovery
August: Picard
September: Lower Decks
October: Prodigy
November: Strange New Worlds
December: Starfleet Academy

The idea is to present uniform variants and other aspects from each series I haven't drawn yet in the last 700 illustrations. Believe me - there are plenty of uniform designs I haven't gotten to yet. I've got sixty years of materials to pull from!

So now, as Dana Gould would say, it's on... to our filthy business.

Drawing 703 / 2026 Artwork 1: Nano Eiai from 100 Kanojo tries on the Avocado Green captain's wraparound uniform seen in season 1 of TOS.

Drawing 704 / 2026 Artwork 2: On the next 100 Kanojo, Rentarou's daily cosplay struggle continues when Hahari gets the family banned from the official Star Trek Set Tour during a vacation to New York.

EVA-Trek Production Report:

Production has been proceeding at a breakneck pace over in the writers room in the Hart Building on the studio lot, encompassing work on each of the final three seasons of the series. As such, it'll be less confusing to break it out by season:

Season 3: The season premiere movie, "The Next Storm, Part II," is into final blue page revisions. Episode 303 is locked into a final draft. The remaining episodes are up next for revisions.

Season 4: Story breaks are in-progress for the season, with the first seven episodes completed. During this process over the holidays, I determined the season had a little too much story for just 10 episodes, so the season order was increased to 11. That makes three seasons in a row where the episode order got bumped up.

Season 5: All twenty episodes of the final season have their basic premise and titles locked in at a minimum. The story arc has been thoroughly figured out, and multiple episodes are nearly ready to begin the script stage.

EVA-Trek Season Three premieres in just two months!
