I am absolutely weak for fics where the crew go to visit Kirk while he’s recovering in a biobed after the events of Into Darkness. Here’s Kirk kissing Sulu on the temple.
Thanks for following me and listening to my ramblings during artblock. I’ve got a lot going on right now and a lot of pressure to be creative in other areas of my life, so it’s nice to always have star trek to come back to to unwind.
this artwork was probably the culprit for most of my burnout, though it was a long time coming. I’m truly sad that I’ll never finish this, but after a certain point, you have to know when to quit.
Princess And The Pauper AU, drawn last year. Mudd’s is a clothing store, in case the mannequinns in the window are too ambiguous (because Mudd has been known to employ androids in the past).
Trying to work out where it went wrong but maybe there’s just something inside me that’s broken, or maybe I’m too hard on myself
I drew this so long ago I don’t even remember when I did it. Maybe March?
In which Sulu regrets befriending a cadet who doesn’t respect his study time.
[ID] digital art which shows Hikaru Sulu sitting on some steps at the academy, trying to read a book, but Kirk is lying with his head in his lap. They're both dressed in their red cadet uniforms, and Sulu is pointing off to the side as Kirk ignores him and reaches up to tousle his hair. [End ID]
“I’ve found the ambassador, Mr Scott. You can turn the gravity back on now.”
[Image ID:] A digital illustration of Nyota Uhura and T’Pring from Star Trek. They’re standing inside a dark turbolift shaft. T’Pring is standing on a platform and leaning forwards with her eyes closed as she wears a dark blue dress. She’s also wearing a cape which is billowing upwards slightly. Nyota is dressed in her red short-sleeved uniform, with silver sleeves. She floating on the edge of the plarform and holding onto T’Pring’s shoulder with one arm as she leans in to kiss her. T’Pring has her eyes closed. The wall behind them reads “Level 07″. [End Image ID]
“Nyota travels home, though her destination is unexpected.”
This was partially inspired by @strawberrypatty and others in the Spuhura discord, who told me that Uhura served under Spock when he was Captain. Here, I took the story prompt of “Captain Uhura”, and switched their positions. (She’s playing his lyre in the third image, and I was initially going to draw him in the final slide, though I think the implication that she travelled with him to the Kelvinverse timeline is clear here). The deltas in the final image also pay homage to the Star Trek: Discovery uniforms.
“I’ll be back, though it takes forever
Forever is just a day
Forever is just another journey
Tomorrow, a stop along the way.”

[Image ID: Drawings of Nyota Uhura. The first image shows the view from a space shuttle as it departs Nairobi Spaceport (based on an image of Nairobi airport), as the sun sets. Text in the top corner of the frame reads “I’ll be back”. The second image shows Uhura from The Original Series sitting at her desk on the bridge of The Enterprise. She has her hand raised to her ear as she listens to her earpiece, and is facing towards the viewer. Text running across the bottom of the screen reads “Though it takes forever.” The third image shows Nyota with her eyes closed, playing a Vulcan Harp in a room with a green background. She is wearing a similar uniform to the previous slide, except she has three stripes on her sleeves, implying she’s a Captain now, and the collar of her shirt is golden. In the fourth image, the Enterprise flies through space with a rainbow warp trail behind it. Text at the top reads “Forever is just another journey.” The fifth image shows Uhura from Star Trek: 2009 standing in front of a white background, looking up and smiling. Her hair is being blown forwards onto her face by the wind. Text reads “Tomorrow”. In the sixth and final image, elder Uhura from The Original Series steps off the shuttle, and greets her. Her grey hair is being blown backwards, and her hand is raised in the Vulcan ta’al. She is wearing a two-toned uniform which is dark red on the left, and bright red on the right. The collar is black on the left and splits into red on the right, covered in little grey Starfleet deltas. [End Image ID]
Sketchbook Page 02.
[Image ID:] A series of drawings of Sulu from the Kelvinverse movies. These are based on images of John Cho. At the top of the page there are three portraits of him from the torso-up. On the left, he faces to the right, and is wearing a beard, and a green shirt. In the middle, he has a bowl cut and Vulcan ears, and pointed eyebrows. He’s wearing an unbuttoned dark orange shirt. On the right, he’s wearing blue, and facing inwards. In the foreground is an image of Kirk lying in a hospital bed, asleep, as Sulu sleeps in a chair beside him, also sleeping. The watermark reads (caps lock) MARLIN ‘21. [End Image ID.]
[Image ID:] illustration of child spock looking to the left. Caption reads “I always thought-”. Image 02. Illustration of Child Spock crying in front of a blud background. He’s wearing blue robes with a yellow collar. Caption: “I might be bad”. Image 03: Grey image of Spock standing in front of the Vulcan Science academy. He’s the only person in colour and he’s wearing a maroon jumper. Caption: “Now I’m sure that it’s true.” Image 04: Spock in front of a cyan background. Close up of his jumper shows maroon diamond shapes on it. Caption: “‘Cos I think you’re so good.” Image 05: Young Spock and Spock Prime are both wearing grey and standing in front of a beige background. They’re both holding up ta’als (Vulcan hand sign). Caption: “And I’m nothing like you.” [End Image ID]
Can’t shake the need to draw Long Haired Spock, I hope you understand.
Sarek, teacher AU:
Sarek: today, a student mistakenly called me "father" in a moment of distraction.
Sarek: *stands aside to reveal a human child*
Sarek: So say hello to your new brother
I made a comic for this, which you can view in higher quality here.
Fanart for Descent Of Halcyon by @itwastheband (CW for blood). This is all I’ve been doing for the past 8 hours in between listening to two different song covers of The Ballad Of Solkar The Slut, and feeling very blessed. This fandom is truly epic.
Be sure to check out and reblog the official bang art from their wonderful teammate, @punkspockispunkrock, too!
Reposting again without the links, because I forgot tumblr doesn't like that 🙄
Quicksketch of AOS Jim Kirk as a pinup poster/mild Plato's Stepchildren vibes
AOS Uhura repairs a communications circuit at the academy
I have absolutely no idea why I drew this but here you go. Sulu dared him to do it. (reposting all my art here @marlinsart from @marlinspirkhall, for easier access)
