Together, in the Desert I tend to avoid backgrounds like the plague and I normally do all my drawings with a 0.3 mechanical pencil, but I decided to challenge myself to try a different art medium (watercolor), as well as a landscape. I only had a few picture references of Vulcan -- all very different from each other -- so I mostly relied on my imagination. I really enjoyed figuring out what each rock/mountain would look like. My favorite is the striped rocks! Because you can't really erase watercolor or layer a lighter color over a darker one like acrylic, I had to be very aware of the light directions and shadows while working on each part of the painting. I wasn't originally going to include Spock and Kirk, but I couldn't resist, and they do give an idea of the scale. On paper, they are only about the size of my thumbnail! I did have to come back through after scanning and touch up a few places, but surprisingly not anywhere as much editing as I would do for a drawing. Pencil is messier, I guess. Overall, I had fun working with color for a change, though I'm not patient enough to use watercolor regularly.
I've been working on another Trek art piece that I'll probably post in a day or so. I tried my hand at a different art medium and though I think I like how it turned out, it took WAY more time than I thought it would. There was a lot I was just making up as I went along. But hey, it's a good thing to try new techniques and mediums, no matter the result, especially if you're like me and you hoard art supplies that you never use...
The fact that Star Trek exists today is because of the love of the fans. Like, I know we all know this, but it's still amazing. It's incredible that when the people with money in charge of TOS tried to close down shop and basically told fans 'to get over it, this ends with season two,' people (especially women!) just weren't having it. They showed up in homemade costumes, they created art and petitions and conventions and fanzines and they did all of that as a way of saying "No, I'm not going to stop loving this show." When probably everyone around them was telling them to shut up, that they were crazy, that no one cares about Star Trek anyway. Well, it turned out that a lot of people cared.
And they got us another season.
growing up in the 2000s and 2010s: If you don't use correct grammar, you will fail at life and no one will ever take you seriously.
In the 2020s: If you DO use correct grammar, you will be mistaken for AI.
Another drawing, this one of TOS Spock! I have to say this is probably one of the hardest angles to draw someone's face from, especially when you only have like 3 blurry pictures to look at for reference. All things considered, I think I did pretty well.
I don't honestly know what Spock's collar-thing is supposed to be -- something about it just worked, especially with the very simple cape that he's wearing underneath. Maybe it's traditional decoration for some planet the Enterprise is visiting. Maybe it's a way of indicating a lesser status on pre-reform Vulcan. Maybe Spock has been taken captive by a dangerous enemy and the collar prevents him from using his telepathy. Whatever the reason, he is enduring it with his usual grace and calm.
Jim Kirk’s struggle.
I made this YEARS ago and was randomly thinking of it the other day. Reposting it now because it still cracks me up. I love how nerdy they are.
Academy Spock
Wow, it's been like 6 years since I posted any Trek drawings. My apologies. It's been difficult to make art as spontaneously as I once did, unfortunately. So I know the AOS movies aren't perfect but I have a soft spot for them since that's what originally got me into the fandom. And of course I'm always going to be a huge fan of Spock (and Spirk!). I made this drawing with a 0.3 pencil, then did some light editing and cleaning up with my photo software from the 90s. Surprisingly, the art came together pretty smoothly!
This drawing is inspired by a very early idea of mine for a Kirk/Spock fic set at the Academy, (hence Spock's uniform) where both characters are struggling with their mental health and trauma. I've tried to rework the outline for this story at least five times, but still can't get a handle on how to approach it, much less write the thing. That said, I am still very attached to my mental image of Spock from this unwritten fic. He's young, dealing with a lot, and he just needs a friend.
Hello! it's strange to be back on Tumblr since 2022 (longer than that probably) but I FINALLY have internet access where I'm living! (It's very rural). Life is pretty busy right now so I don't expect to be posting a lot, but I'll try to check in a little more often than every 6 months, lol.
I was never a big name in this fandom so I honestly don't expect anyone to remember me, but I learned a lot about myself being a part of this community. The Kirk/Spock fandom really helped me when I was in a dark place back in the 2010s and I hope it's helping other people too in these very dystopian times.
Anyway, I do have a AOS Spock drawing I plan on putting up soon, so just a heads up about that, I guess.
LLAP, everyone!

Hi this might be a long shot, but you don't happen to have a copy of Missbamfs "How we operate" fanfiction or know where I can read it? Thanks in advance
Hey @crestiebesties sorry if you were waiting for a response for a long time, I'm not on tumblr much these days anymore. I'm afraid I don't have a copy available :( . Even if I did, I don't know, I wouldn't feel right about sharing anything without Missbamf's permission, and I haven't heard from her for a few years now. (We didn't have a falling out or anything like that, just lost touch over time). It's possible she might have moved to a new fic site, but unfortunately it seems like the fic might be lost. Still, I've heard of people coming back years (sometimes decades!) later to finish a fic, so you never know.
