So Mike Minor (amazing artistic mind behind prominent Phase II, TMP, TWOK Star Trek concept art) had an . . .

Idea.

For Spock's Kolinhar costume in TMP.

Then we have Robert Fletcher's concept.

Which was . . . *ahem* . . . also an idea:

What we got:

. . . Y'all.

What happened?

I don't know for sure but we may have gotten robbed on this costume here.🤣

Leonard Nimoy looking at the concept art for Spock's Kolinhar look for TMP: 👀 . . . So are these zine covers, or? . . . Am I wearing lingerie in this film?

*Emphatic nodding from the concept artists*

Meanwhile

Not dinosaurs but I recently took part in the k/s spring fling and this is one of my favourite things I’ve ever drawn, so here is a brief fan art intermission.

It’s that scene from the motion picture where Spock comes back. Except if Kirk and Spock were more like Morticia and Gomez. Bones is there too.

Hey, what is your process when making collages? How do you collect things for them, how do you decide on quotes and what to draw/paint on and such? I really enjoy them :)

Hello! That's a very good question, I do it so automatically that I'm not entirely sure myself — but since I caught myself in the middle of a cut-and-stick sketchbook session, let's dive into it.

First up, I collect scraps like a trash magpie. Always have done, always will. Any paper items that I enjoy the colour/shape/texture of. Nowadays I tend to enjoy things with bold primary colours or black and white, pages from old maths textbooks or encyclopedias, flyers from local exhibitions, fragile tape and shipping labels from parcels, scraps found on the floor, old shopping lists, slips of paper from inside medicine packets or covid tests etc, anything that jumps out at me.

I collect these things in the pocket at the back of my sketchbook, or in a drawer (I have a whole drawer dedicated to scraps — some picked up from six or seven years ago, and some from last week). I hoard them like some sort of paper-loving dragon.

Other things I like adding are washi tapes, stickers, cinema tickets, drawings (whether straight in the sketchbook or stuck in), and anything else flat enough to fit in there.

Here are a few older sketchbook pages (from about 2014) showing some other types of scraps I've collated and used, and I think you can see where my current style has grown from.

The second part of your question is: but how do I put them all together? Again it's pretty much instinctive by now, but here are a few things I look for:

- Do I have a theme for the page? Is there a central object I want to build around? For the recent star trek pages I shared here, I'd been to see TMP and TWOK at the cinema and glued my tickets into my sketchbook, so I knew I wanted to theme the page around them

- Is there a colour palette? Either I pick colours from my central object, or I decide on a colour palette myself. Nowadays I keep my colour palettes very limited - one or two bolder colours and a range of cream/white/black/grey - but previously I've set the palette as pastel rainbow colours for example, when those were the colours I was more drawn to

- What words, symbols or drawings do I want to add? This can be lyrics that have been stuck in my head or that fit the theme, phrases I've come up with, fragments of found poetry clipped from textbooks, drawings that fit the theme (e.g star trek screencap thumbnails in the first example), etc. They don't have to fit the theme perfectly, or make sense to an external viewer - the important thing is that *you* want them on your page

This image below is a fragment of an as-yet-incomplete page - in which I swatched some leftover watercolour paint onto the page, found it complimented the colour of a sticker from a parcel perfectly (the small circular sticker), then I added an interesting-looking image from an old encyclopedia, which reminded me of a line from a Mountain Goats song: "the low pressure system brings the breezes in", and I wrote out another line from that same song on kraft paper and stuck it in. So it makes sense to me, or maybe someone familiar with the song, but to the average viewer it just looks kinda cool and/or they enjoy the line I've written out.

Then the next thing is to stick everything together! I'll confess, I rarely do this in one sitting - I currently have multiple pages I'm working on, one started the other month and almost complete, one started two weeks ago, and one just started today. I add to it whenever I get an idea or find a scrap that fits. But I used to do the pages in one sitting, and that absolutely works too.

As to how I decide what goes where on the page, that's just intuitive! I've made collage-y type art for at least fifteen years now (and longer if you count playing 'cut and stick' with old magazines as a kid), and I've very much learnt what sort of compositions please me, and how to tell if something feels too cluttered or lopsided or too spacious. But the beauty of this part is it's all personal preference! Shuffle your scraps around before gluing them down, and see what works for you.

Sometimes I add text or drawings first and use scraps in between, sometimes I stick the scraps down first and fill the gaps with text or drawings - there's no one way to do it! And hey, if there's something you don't like, you can always tear it out or stick something over it, that's the joy of mixed media.

Anyway this was a bit long-winded but I hope it makes at least a little bit of sense. Go forth and play with scraps!

Thank You for Loving Me Jim

read it on AO3 at https://archiveofourown.org/works/50838079 by EuterpesMagnolias (AlchemicalNightShade) A rewrite of the lyrics to Bon Jovi's "Thank You for Loving Me" to represent an affirmation of love from Spock to Kirk. He mentions the life-and-death situations they've faced, the times that Jim has saved him, and the things that Kirk has done for him - and cannot help but be awed by the love that must drive him to do such epic acts. What else is there to do but express his eternal gratitude that he possesses James Kirk's heart? Takes place sometime in the movie era - definitely post-TMP and before Kirk ends up stuck in the nexus.

!Special Interest Infodump Post!

Idk if I’m gonna do this much but I’m thinking of going through the models I have and talking a bit about their design and stuff, and today I’ll be taking you through the hero ship of Enterprise, the… uh… Enterprise…

Okay so this isn’t really the Enterprise, it’s the Enterprise as it appeared in the Mirror Universe two-parter so it has some extra livery to make it distinct from its prime universe counterpart. The design of the ship is unchanged outside of that and I don’t have the prime universe model so I’ll be using this model to talk about both.

With Enterprise (the show, which I’ll be calling ENT from now on) being a prequel, there was a lot of pre-existing design to draw from when designing the ship, and it was heavily influenced by the design of the Akira-class, which I believe was first seen in Star Trek: First Contact in the battle of Sector 001.

The top-down view especially shows the common traits: the usual Starfleet saucer, with twin booms starting ahead of the bridge area and extending back to connect the hull to the nacelle pylons, with a pod-like element in the middle of the pylons. There’s also the cutout in the forend of the saucer (though the Akira doesn’t have the main deflector there) and a small “step” just behind the name and registry number, the same location of (and different colour around) the saucer’s impulse engines, and the use of impulse engines in the end of the twin booms.

The Enterprise opted to go for a more classic layout with the warp nacelles raised above the saucer, which fits better with the older designs (TOS Enterprise, Excelsior) and allowed for a planned refit later in the show which would add the secondary hull that had been common for the majority of Star Trek and remove the pod while retaining the booms.

The nacelles would also have been redesigned to more closely resemble the style of the pilot episode Enterprise, with spines protruding from the centre of the bussard collectors, which is a small touch I really appreciate. I think this would also be the first “Federation” ship to have a secondary deflector dish as well?

Sadly the show was cancelled before the refit came to the screen, I think the cancellation happened partway through production of season 4, which would explain why the ending felt so rushed and underwhelming.

I do quite like the design of the NX-01 Enterprise, I think it works really well as a precursor to the NCC-1701 Enterprise though I am a bit disappointed that it incorporates elements of the (almost entirely unrelated) Akira-class so heavily, and seems to lean more towards TNG era aesthetics than what we expect from TOS/TMP era. The circular windows resembling the portholes of our naval vessels is a nice touch and goes well with the interior design feeling more like a modern-day military ship/submarine (though submarines don’t have windows).

However, the Enterprise design does raise an interesting point. It’s a pre-Federation ship, made by United Earth under supervision from the Vulcans, and yet later Federation designs which you’d think would have input from dozens of species still retain these “human” design elements. We know that Vulcan, Andorian, and Tellarite designs are vastly different (as seen in ENT) yet their design elements seem to be completely erased once the Federation is established in favour of human design language. It raises questions about the prevalence, even domination, of humans and human preferences in Starfleet, but that’s getting too far off-track.

That’s the post ig, feel free to ask questions and stuff, and lmk if you want to see more of this kind of thing
