Out of curiosity 👀

Who would be interested in contributing to a Star Trek Prodigy zine?

I'm not setting up anything official until this cold is gone, but I just want to know.

if the poll ties im combining them

1, 12, and 27!

1. Art programs you have but don't use?

I have Clip Studio Paint which I haven't used in a hot second but I want to get back to it because it rules!

12. Easiest part of body to draw?

Ummm the shoulder area?? I think I can figure that part out without too much trouble...

27. Do you warm up before getting to the good stuff? If so, what is it you draw to warm up with?

I really should more often lol. I will usually just doodle whatever before starting to work on a big piece, more to get into the Art Making Mood tm rather than warm up physically but that's a bonus I guess!

Thank you!!

Bit of hurt/comfort after 731 ❤️

[singeart]

For the artist asks: 11, 15, and 20 please!!

11. Do you listen to anything while drawing? If so, what?

I listen to either music (for the sketching/ ideation phase I'll listen to a related playlist but for mindless lining/ rendering anything goes) or let's plays when I run out of music 🥲

15. *Where* do you draw (don't drop your ip address this just means do you doodle at a park or smth)?

At my desk or in bed with a lap desk, I need my tablet to be propped up 🙏 but sometimes if I'm just doodling and don't need as much control I'll lay on the couch (gotta get through tos somehow amirite ooopp)

20. Something everyone else finds hard to draw but you enjoy?

I don't know....everything is hard to draw lmao. Maybe hair?? There's no method to my madness but I have fun doing it. I also really enjoy drawing objects which my own past self despised haha

Thanks!!

3, 8, and 18 from the artist asks

Answered 3!

8. What's an old project idea that you've lost interest in?

I've tried to do B'Elanna pieces a couple of times but I wasn't happy with the likeness/ didn't know how to render them so they have been abandoned 🪦 they were from 2022 though so maybe I have improved enough to give it another go?? Here's the cleaned up sketch of one of them:

18. An estimate of how much art supplies you've broken?

I grip pencils, oil pastels, etc way too hard so I've definitely worn down some supplies for art class before their time

On that note I also did not change the nib on my old tablet's pen when I should have and scratched the screen pretty bad 🤡 Luckily it still worked perfectly fine so I was able to gift it to someone. As long as there's no light shining on the screen it won't block their view too bad but it bothered me enough that I replaced it

Thanks!!

Ask game: 30 and 4 :)

Just answered 30 hehe

4. Fav character/subject that's a bitch to draw?

Mulder babeyy. On top of likenesses being difficult he is A Man and I have spent the majority of my life drawing women

Also ship art is so hardd I have to draw two (2) people interacting? Hugging? Smooching? Impossible. But I love it so I continue 🫡

Thank you!!

[singeart]

gonna be cringe with multiple potentially long ones hahaha

3, 25, 26, and 30! 😏👌

3. What ideas come from when you were little?

I don't think I have a lot of long lasting ideas more like subject matter I always revisit? Like I'm always doodling the same magical ladies with fancy clothes haha. I read a lot of fantasy adventure books as a kid ;)

Dug up this from ??? Compared with something I drew last week:

25. Something your art has been compared to that you were NOT inspired by/

Multiple people have said my b&w art is reminiscent of a comic book style which I think I can see. I read a lot of manga too as a kid so maybe that's where it comes from? (but I think when people say that they mean like superhero comics? which I have never read, so idk... did I even interpret this question correctly lol...)

26. What's a piece that got a wildly different interpretation from what you intended?

I wouldn't say it's wildly different but I did have a specific scenario in mind for this piece and a lot of the notes on it are other people's interpretations/ tying it to episodes which is so cool I love!!

The rest of my art is pretty straight forward I think haha

30. What piece of yours do you think is underrated?

This one, 100% 😂 I think it's solid in terms of technical skill and concept and I love the pose (I don't think I even referenced anything??) But to be fair Miraculous has (had?) a Huge fanbase and thus lots of other art to compete with for attention

And maybe this one as well.....Chakotay looks kind of busted I won't lie but I still think it's a cute idea

Thank you!!

Once I make that 8 panel fully rendered comic that's been living in the back of my mind it's over

[singeart]

Honey, please squeeze me tight / Don't you want your baby to be alright?

[singeart]

As a fellow x files / voyager enjoyer, I would 8 million percent read a cross over fic and have thought many times about how when voyager showed up in 1996 that ABSOLUTELY fox Mulder would have known about it and found a way to sneak his butt on board.

Plus Scully and Janeway would have so much respect for each other. Please if you ever need a discussion buddy I am free

Yes he would haha! I wonder if him being a canon trek fan kind of breaks things 🤔 or makes them more interesting...like imagine Janeway being suspicious of him because he knows so much about their technology and the Federation 👀

Scully and Janeway teaming up would be an unstoppable force I want to see it! I am head empty but now I know who to go to hehe thank you for offering!! <3

20 Writer Questions

Thank you @mytardisisparked for tagging me!

1. How many works do you have on Ao3?

An astounding 20! I never thought I'd write this many haha

2. What’s your total Ao3 word count?

79,836

3. What fandoms do you write for?

Mostly Star Trek Voyager and The X Files! I always thought about writing for Once Upon A Time but never felt a strong enough calling- I'm pretty happy with how Captain Swan played out ;)

4. What are your top five fics by kudos?

+ A Flower for Everytime I Think of You (chlonath from Miraculous Ladybug, I miss how popular this ship was ;-; I feel like I can't find anything new for it on here)

(the rest are from Voyager~)

+ Two Shorten the Road

+ Suspension

+ Compote

+ Gold Rush

5. Do you respond to comments?

Yeah for the most part! Especially if people point out a certain part they liked I live for that!!

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

I am a happy ending girlie, all the angst happens in the middle of my fics lol. That being said, I think For That Which Ails You could be considered a little angsty at the end because Scully is still terminally ill, nothing has actually changed, and Mulder wasn't there when she woke up. There's a bit of melancholy to it!

7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

Probably Compote! Fluffy throughout and then they share a laugh and a Moment tm at the end of it

8. Do you get hate on fics?

Thankfully no!

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

Writing kisses is hard enough lmao. I also just don't want to

10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written?

No I've never even thought about doing that! Voyager x X Files would be so fun though

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not to my knowledge, though yeah AI has probably scanned some of my works

12. Have you ever had a fic translated? 

Nay

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

I have not, technically, but brainstorming with the bestie and mutuals is always great for inspiration!!

14. What’s your all time favorite ship?

I can't choose, Janeway x Chakotay and Mulder x Scully are both profound to meee

15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

Well...I had this idea for a Admiral Janeway centered fic but I don't think it's going to happen. Also a couple of AU ideas for J/C but eh they don't feel original enough u_u

16. What are your writing strengths?

Dialogue babey, I think!! And the little meaningful exchanges that come with? I also think I can write subtle funny stuff pretty well though maybe it's only noticeable to me haha

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

Describing a scene, I never do I am relying on the reader's imagination LOL

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?

Never had a reason to, not that I'm fluent in anything else :/

19. First fandom you wrote for?

Miraculous Ladybug ^_^

20. Favorite fic you’ve written?

I think it's still Kathryn Janeway, PI because I loove the idea of her playing detective and writing from Chakotay's pov was a nice challenge for me, but Hastilude is coming in at a close second... I really enjoyed coming up with a case that Mulder and Scully had to solve and figuring out how all the pieces fit together, plus I got to put them in silly little outfits, what's not to like?

Tagging: the user reading this!! seriously I want to know :3c

[singeart]

Is it love...or a concussion?
