💫Space....the final frontier....these are the voyages of the Starship Enterprise ....Crew Cards!💫
Every space-faring hero needs their own Collectible hero cards! Why not Ponify and Trek them at the same time?!
Made these character cards a while back. Essentially, I wanted to solidify pony designs for each of the Star Trek Next Gen characters and crew... but as my mind moved a mile a minute... I got caught up with other shenanigans and forgot to continue. *whoops*
Fear not Trek nerds! I'm hoping to continue to put a spin out on some more Pony Trek characters soon!
If you are interested in seeing a specific character ponifed..let me know in the comments! I do have some designs already sketched up and hidden from public view cause ...well, I'm lazy. But I'd be happy to show them or try a few new designs!
Top Left: Lieutenant Tasha Yar
Species: Human, Plant of Origin: Turkana IV
Rank: Lieutenant, Position: Chief of Security
Assignment: U.S.S Enterprise NCC 1701-D
My beloved bad**s blonde, how I miss you! I'm still fuming that her time on the show was cut short and all because of a vat of tar. I did appreciate Gene bringing her back "alt timeline wise" in "Yesterday's Enterprise" as well as the final episode of the series "All Good Things"...however I would have enjoyed her character played out further with Data, Worf and the rest of the crew.
Thankfully, in the PC RPG game, Star Trek Online Tasha gets more screen time, and I have thoroughly enjoyed playing the game alongside her characters (alternate, evil, and all)
For her design, I matched her coat color with her vibrant blonde hair and added some giraffe like prints on her neck and legs. It is slightly different from the way I draw Trill markings, but I wanted to showcase that Tasha is not purely earth born. Turkana V is shown as dark, dirty, and desolate..her markings I imagine, are an asset, a way to camouflage amongst the darkened streets, messily but beautifully placed on her scar marked body.
Top Right: Commander William T. Riker " Will Riker" #1 or "Will" *Imazdi*
Species: Human, Planet of Origin: Earth Alaska, U.S.A
Rank: Commander, Capt, Position: Number 1
Assignment: U.S.S Enterprise NCC 1701-D
Couldn't resist drawing the "Jazz HUNK" of Star Trek TNG, a goofball of a man whose character always makes me crack up. Riker may not have been my favorite of the crew, but I always have respected his generosity and loyalty to his crew. Johnathan Frakes is a proud Trek actor who appreciates and strives to celebrate his characters legacy, even if the main memories celebrated involve the famous "Riker Chair Maneuveur.
Even though I'm not a big fan of facial hair.. I was definitely desperately "willing" him to put the beard back when I saw the character clean shaven in Star Trek "Insurrection" He's too good for the baby man look. It was unnerving 😅
Of course, this handsome stallion version of Will had to flaunt the musky red coat and his ever charming smile. I was eager to give his characters beard justice. It is scruffy thick but well kept. The eyebrows are bushy and ready to romance any and all "mares" * alien* or not.
Bottom: Counselor Deanna Troi "Deanna" "Counselor" *Imazdi*
Species: Betazoid/Human, Planet of Origin: Betazed
Rank: Commander. Position: Ships Counselor
Assignment: U.S.S Enterprise 1701-D
I sometimes feel that my empathy would rival that of the true empaths- "Betazoids" like the gorgeous Deanna Troi. However, hearing everybody's thoughts and feelings would get quite tiring and cumbersome.
Stunningly beautiful and sharp witted, Deanna Troi stepped out of her original season 1 "sex icon/romance trope" mold as the series moved on and became the strong resilient women we see emanated by the new age Trek screen ladies today. Deanna was not afraid to speak her mind and show who's boss. However, she still led her life with rock solid empathy and humor.
She's definitely the caring but fun aunt figure that I would have attached to if I was among the crew. Her love of chocolate cake may have rivaled my own sweet tooth.
For her design, Blue hues were, of course, a no-brainer. Her most popular costume was the blue dress, so I had to have her rock that frock again. In regards to her mixed heritage, I decided to give her a marbled textured coat and a mix of unicorn and earth pony characteristics. Thick furred/legged but still emanating silky undertones in her fetlocks and elegant frame. Everything flows smoothly, even the curls of her brilliant mane.
Two of my design choices are both references to her betazoid heritage. Anatomical characteristics I imagine to be common amongst the species.
Her double ornate horns are in reference to her empathetic skills. One horn (shorter) is used primarily for basic magic. The other (other) is used for emphathic probing and emotional mind reading. Horn length within the Betazoid Culture signifies skill level and familial hierarchy within the community. Her longer probing horn signifies her privileged status in Betazed, due to her illustrious mother - Lwaxana Troi, Daughter of the Fifth House, Holder of the Sacred Chalice of Riix, Heir to the Holy Rings of Betazed".
Second - her long beard. Beards have no gender in Betazed. They are a symbol of beauty and grace. A style to be well kept and maintained throughout a Betazoid's lifetime. Decorative jewelry can be used for cultural practices and celebrations and / or worn for meer pleasure.
*I've seen personal AU designs of many female MLP unicorns with beards and have always appreciated the design choice*
So as you can see...I enjoy this very much. More will be coming soon.
Go ahead, explore your own ponymashed designs. It's so fun!
