Welcome to the 238th Trek BBS Fan Art Forum Challenge!

May’s theme, chosen by community vote here, is:

Fish Out of Water
Oh no! Somebody has kidnapped one of your favorite historical figures or fictional characters and brought them into the Trekverse. Or perhaps they accidentally traveled through a portal. Whatever. In any case, they're having more than a little trouble adjusting to their new surroundings. Show us what difficulties they're encountering.

Star Trek has often shown us simulacra of historical figures or fictional characters interacting with our heroes, Abraham Lincoln, Isaac Newton, Professor Moriarty, Leornardo DaVinci, etc, usually created by aliens or on the holodeck. But how would the "real" thing deal with life in the future, would they be intrigued, appalled or confused and how would they adapt to the inevitable culture shock? And perhaps we need not limit this challenge to historical and literary figures from Earth's history, how might those from other Star Trek worlds react to their future?


(Also, don't forget to check out April's Challenge which is still open for entries.)


The Rules
  • the artwork you submit should be created during the month of the challenge
