Phoenix Meltdown [Comic]

[Hawku]

Bonjour! This thread will collect my comics which mostly act as a compliment to my fanfic of the USS Phoenix-X and, much, much later, other ships from my Star Trek Online Captains. These are random and pointless, but I like doing them.

My previous art threads were poorly planned/executed, but I decided that I wanted to try again and share, and this time encompass everything so it's not a hundred different threads. Will add an explainer-background note to any that might need it.

Note on a lack of consistency, early comics were drawn, then some coloured, and later ones used screencaps from Star Trek Online. Was thinking I might try drawn/coloured ones again (see my Red Kite Shipyards thread for a preview).

Author's notes: This was created sometime in 2006 and takes place in the late 24th century. When I started, my approach for the art was very pencil sketchy and hard to read, which might've been me attempting to mitigate the time and effort of the process. Hopefully it looks better as they go on.​

Attack

In this comic: Captain Cell, Commander Night Seifer

 

[Hawku]

Author's notes: This was created sometime in 2006. Like many, I couldn't resist incorporating Section 31 into things, and now it's done-to-death, haha.​

Oh, these are fantastic! I've love your style, particularly the expressions of the characters and the over-the-top ridiculousness of the little stories. But my very favourite are the wincing, cringing crew at helm and nav/ops inthe last strip

Thanks! They really do have to deal with a lot of nonsense. I'd be freaking out all day too. lol

 

[Hawku]

Author's notes: This was created sometime in 2006, before I was careful about legibility in comics and before I retconned the -X as being a later generation ship (after all previous gen ships exploded in transwarp trials). And there's an error in this, where he says "24th incarnation" when it should be "25th".
​

X?

[Hawku]

I love Cell's googly eyes when they shapeshift, and their evil look when discussing making an enemy of the entire universe and how powerful the Phoenix-X is
