Laura's Art Challenge Thread

Here's my entry for the art contest - some pass cards!

From left to right, top to bottom:

Beamin - a transporter pass
Fleetpass - Starfleet all-purpose transit/credit/access card
Holoha - a holodeck/suite pass
Replique - replicator credits

I've used Klingon, Human, Vulcan, and Andorian names as placeholder names in that order.

What do you think? I dunno if it really counts as "art" because all I did was use a bunch of shapes word art and text from Powerpoint.

Still good!

 

[Laura Cynthia Chambers]

Thanks. What got me thinking about this was the transit pass we use, which is called PRESTO, and then I also recalled the public transporters they had at the Yorktown in Star Trek Beyond.

 

[Cyfa]

Oh, I like this idea! But where's the Mul-tee-pass?

 

[Laura Cynthia Chambers]

Okay...having a card with only one thing on it allows for some control over who can access it and who can't and how.

Here's my July entry - Pike rescuing cadets from the class J training ship. I wasn't too clear about the details when I drew this last night - I imagined that there was a fire inside, and I suppose there could be if certain things overheated, etc. This is a while before he succumbs to the delta rays. Not sure if it even resembles Pike much. Here he is carrying one cadet and supporting another. Notice the arm sticking out behind a console just above the male cadet's head - still more to save.

MCCOY: What's his problem, Commodore?
MENDEZ: Inspection tour of a cadet vessel. Old Class J starship. One of the baffle plates ruptured.
MCCOY: The delta rays?
MENDEZ: He went in bringing out all those kids that were still alive. Just wanted you gentlemen to be prepared.

 

[Cyfa]

Can't go wrong with a bit of Pike! Oh, that poor cadet behind that console - it's good to know that she or he will be soon be carried to safety.

This is likely to be my entry, so I'll just post it here. It came to me last night. Remember the TNG episode "The Arsenal of Freedom", where Riker claims to have a ship called the Lollipop? (Okay, I don't remember the episode too well from seeing it, just reading about it on Memory Alpha - see here: https://memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/USS_Lollipop) The idea of doing a lollipop-shaped ship appealed to me, so here it is. All the images are copy and paste of the original, rotated so you can appreciate it from 4 different angles. It's a Dart-class ship, built for long range exploration. The saucer, which is where most of the crew are located, can separate from the body if necessary.

Here's Riker standing proudly next to a model of the ship on his shelf. Note the PADD with a smaller version of the ship's picture on it (I copied and shrunk the image to add it.) Also the replicator on the wall, the planet, sun, and starship outside the window, and a curtain that looks like Deanna's contribution to the decor.

*Edit: Carpet, not curtain.

Coolies

Here's my entry for the "Toy Trek" contest: (is it okay that I revive a dead thread if it's my own, and in the interest of keeping my entries together)

A game card for a strategy card game based on the Rules of Acquisition.

Here's my entry for "Aliens Stole My Reindeer!"

Your EggNog idea is brilliant, Laura! I love all the details that you pointed out in the Art Challenge thread:

Here's my entry. Quark (left) (deliberately) misinterprets a popular Christmas tradition for his own benefit.

Some Easter eggs:
* A green beverage on the bar
* The children participating - one is Bajoran, the other Cardassian - Christmas (and egg throwing) bring them together
* The sign with some helpful arrows in case you don't know who you're supposed to tip
* A bag of money on the top of the tree, and the gift's wrapping paper has dollar signs, too
* Nog's ugly Christmas sweater

Nog's sweater truly is repulsive - well done!!

Are the eggs in what looks like a gum ball machine? And what's the little scene behind Quark? I immediately thought of that Charlie Brown ice-skating thing, but on closer inspection it looks like the Nativity?

No, it's an egg basket with the handle down at its side.

And what's the little scene behind Quark? I immediately thought of that Charlie Brown ice-skating thing, but on closer inspection it looks like the Nativity?

It's actually a bar mirror with the reflections of other patrons hanging out at Quark's.

 

[Cyfa]

Oh, yes, I see it now (now that I've put my reading glasses on and stopped squinting)

You got it.

Well, I'm sticking with mine because I suspect several members consider my renders as wretched and my stuff with Caitians as crap!
