(Trying to pack half as much feeling into a doodle as Leyendecker manages in Study for Butterfly Couple is of course moot but it sure is fun.)

I think I want something more fun for Ren Faire this year but idk what.

TFW leave is over before it even starts because you’ve got an investigation to run and the car’s been towed and your uniforms are ruined and here you are, somehow getting your drunken ducklings across a highway without anyone dying.

But at least you’re together.

A halloween treat for me specifically: Gunny and Tiner dressed up as the sailor and nurse from the VJ day kiss photo.

Obviously some very heavy tracing referencing of poses from @mellon-soup and @albanenechi. (Also she was a dental hygienist not a nurse lol.)

@birdthebrat graced me with the galaxy brain vision “Tiner in the skant uniform.” So yeah here’s TNG era boys. Lore under the cut.

I initially made them TOS so they could have kooky fun but they would slot well into TNG/DS9/VOY era. They start out as staff for Ambassador Chegwidden who’s a decorated veteran and one of the only guys some folk in conflict will deal with. Tiner his yeoman and Gunny (Cardassian war vet) head of his security detail, Mac is some kind of attaché/protegé. Something happens to Chegwidden and Mac has to be acting diplomat for whatever crisis and inherits his staff.

She has a hard time delegating and hates getting nannied, given her own combat experience. But they all like each other and work well together and soon Tiner is swapping over to the diplomatic corps, too. They’re aboard some light cruiser captained by Rabb and he’s delighted to make as many detours, and bend as many regs as possible to get the junior ambassador where she needs to go.

I love the skant but it must be said the boots need work (the later ST games use a skant model with taller, more fitted boots which I think looks nicer). Blessed are the nerds b/c I had a hell of a time figuring out where the seams were supposed to be lol. (Also I must say the colors are making me crazy they are not Correct Gunny Tiner Colors™??? How insane do I have to be before I make an elaborate plot to put Tiner in science blue and Gunny in command red lol. While I was at it I would also give in to the urge to make Gunny Bajoran b/c he would be such a cute little bejeweled terrorist.)

(The longer I work with these paper dolls the more annoyed I am by the lazy/wonky anatomy lol. I think I need to redraw them before I do halloween costumes for them.)

Gunny and Tiner, boldly going.

The lack of noncom rank (esp in TOS era) is frustrating lol. Anyway, they met aboard the Cayuga and were both redshirts (yeoman and security) but Tiner swapped to the command track. Gunny is half Romulan but that’s a lotta Baggage™ so he lets people assume he’s part Vulcan. (At their first duty station Tiner gleefully took every opportunity to needle Gunny into dropping the Vulcan facade. He has since matured…a little.)

I’ll eat you up I love you so.

Idk which I like better.

So Omegaverse finally trojan-horsed its way into my brain today.

(I literally stopped in the middle of a run to take notes why would you DO THIS TO ME.) Blank final panel under the cut for your own plot bunny burdens <3
