So yeah, right I am struggling in a minor heat wave to maintain my sanity by drawing my own Star Trek character... yeah.

I guess you could say that I'm a casual fan of the Star Trek franchise meaning that I've never seen the original series but enjoyed The Next Generation and thought that Voyager was pretty good despite the criticism and thinks that Enterprise is pretty crappy but Deep Space Nine is my personal favorite that I actually do own a copy of the first season on DVD given to me as a gift mostly because I loved the idea of a political warfare and a Cold War-esque tensed conflict between different culture and civilizations in a huge space station that is supposed to be a neutral zone for trades and such.
Same goes for the movies, I am mostly a fan of Wrath of Khan and The Undiscovered Country since Wrath of Khan is about a age old vengeance with brilliant writing and The Undiscovered Country is based on the Cold War era and that how both sides of a long war and conflict are performing terrorism out of fear due to change and promises of peace which is actually really damn intriguing to me personally. And the reboot movies can go straight to hell, even though I havent seen Star Trek Beyond yet but so far I hear that it's pretty decent so I might give it a shot when its out for rent on DVD.
I have never read any comics and only watched some let's plays on the video game series "Star Trek Elite Force" and the point and click adventure games.
But other than that, I have no idea about the deep lores of the original series, I only know about the Borg, the Klingon, the Orion girls and the Caitian and some of the characters.

Originally I was thinking about drawing M'Ress from the 1970's Star Trek the Animated Series, but changed my mind for reasons unknown (again I blame the heat) and that... Well, to be honest I just thought that M'Ress was so UGLY drawn.
I blame Filmation since it was the go-to animation company to make a Saturday morning cartoon show for a quick buck and that they are these days infamous since it closed down in -89 for their use of limited animation, with the same walk cycle, close ups and such.
No disrepect for any fans out there, I just changed my mind and wanted to draw my own take on a original Caitian character.

And that's about it, really. Enjoy.

As a more avid Star Trek fan; I must unfortunately inform you that only "Federation" girls from a certain... let's just say; "more violent" dimension wear cropped shirts, the Starfleet Logo unfortunately needs to be replaced.


(Lol just kidding, I may have a gripe with people who draw Starfleet Uniforms that expose more skin than usual but I'm not a thought policer ...though I'm willing to bet there's a universe where that's sadly not the case.)
