I was looking for a Star Wars analogue to Caleb's component-based fire magic and a slugthrower felt like the closest thing to that lol

I imagined him being an ex-Inquisitor, so he could have been a Jedi once

Caleb fires a slugthrower while Frumpkin perches on his shoulder. Below him stands Nott, firing a massive (for her) blaster one-handed and holding onto Caleb's leg for support against the recoil. In the background are some stacked crates.

Imperial Inquisitor-turned-rebel Caleb and his Lothcat Frumpkin team up with Outer Rim smuggler Nott.

A Starfleet promotional poster painted in the style of retro painted tourism posters. The poster features Lieutenants Beckett  Mariner and Brad Boimler and a town square in Bajor.

They are holding an open paper map, Mariner with her right hand and Boimler with his left. Mariner is pulling Boimler into a kiss by grabbing the back of his neck with her left hand. Boimler seems slightly surprised but reciprocating. They both have light blue duffel bags with Starfleet insignia printed on the side hanging from their shoulders, Boiler is gripping the strip of his with his right hand.

They are standing in an old town square featuring a waterbody / fountain with a tall obelisk standing in the middle of it. The rest features domed buildings, arched doorways and bridges, all in the color of yellow sandstone, covered in lush creepers. There are several tall trees. The square is full of Bajoran pigeons, who happen to look like early earth birds, with finger-like appendages attached to their wings. They have slight blue and white feathers and bright orange beaks and feet.

The poster reads “Take your shore leave” (slightly slanted, written in cursive, blue with slight orange highlights) “on Bajor” (both in orange, “Bajor” is written in large block letters at the center of the image).The bottom left has a small sign saying “Bajor tourism project”. he entire poster has a blood orange border. The bottom border has “In association with Starfleet” written in tiny white fonts.

Another #Valentine'sDay post because it's not complete without Trek.
This was the first original retro poster I did for last year's #StarTrekLowerDecks #marinler zine. The zine is freely available at bit.ly/marinler25 .The donations go to pcrf.net

Keep going! Someone needs to keep the fandom fed on screencap redraws and I've been off drawing Star Wars (a dereliction of my duty, I'm sure 😂)

A screencap redraw of Star Trek: Lower Decks S1 finale. The USS Cerritos is on red alert. Ensign Mariner and Ensign Boimler are looking at each other over their shoulder. Boimler looks distressed and melancholic and Mariner is smiling coyly. They are standing in a red lit corridor, covering each other's back. This scene is right after the duo had been fighting Pakleds that invaded the ship, alongside other Cerritos crew and Boimler just confessed to Mariner that he'd miss her if she left, prompting Mariner to tell him to shut up and that he had given away enough embarrassing secrets that day.

Two unlettered panels from a Star Trek: Lower Decks comic  featuring characters Lieutenant Junior grades Beckett Mariner and Brad Boimler in the USS Cerritos Bar/Mess and Lieutenant Junior grade D'Vana Tendi, Lieutenant Arjun, Barkeep Honus and an  unnamed science officer as background characters.
Panel one:  Mariner is in the foreground smiling and saying something to the audience and Boimler in the background scratching his head looking confused.
Panel Two:  Boimler is bending forwards, clutching his stomach seemingly in pain. Mariner asks him something, looking worried.

Star Trek: Lower Decks main character line up  fan art in a 2000's TV animation style.
Top Row: head shots of (left to right) Lieutenants Junior Grade Beckett Mariner, Bradward Boimler, D'Vana Tendi, Samanthan Rutherford and T'Lyn

Bottom Row: Mariner has a heavy duty wrench over her left shoulder and her right hand on her waist. She's coyly smiling at Boimler on her right, who has a phaser in his right hand and awkwardly rubbing the back of his neck with his left. Next to them is Tendi, propping herself up on her left leg, as she presents a medium sized vial of an organism with a heavily worried expression to Rutherford next to her, who is scanning the vial with an equally concerned expression. He has a tricorder on his other hand. Next to them stands T'Lyn, who is holding a PADD in her right hand and watching them all with a neutral expression.

A complete piece I found sitting in my wips folder. #StarTrekLowerDecks but in a specific type of 2000's TV animated series- ish style 🥹
This is just a bunch of nostalgia wrapped up into a scrappy lower-decker bundle.

Star Trek: Lower Decks fanart: a screen cap redraw of the opening scene of Season 1, episode 1, where it is revealed Bradward Boimler, an ensign on the USS Cerritos is pretending to make a Captain's log in a supply closet, when he is caught in the act by Beckett Mariner, a fellow ensign and the main character of the show, as she walks in on him.

The image has Boimler standing frozen in embarrassment in the dimly lit storage closet with barrels of medical supplies. His face is lit by the light of his PADD and he is backlit by the open door of the closet. Behind him, Mariner is barging in through the door laughing. She is slightly disheveled and the flap of her uniform jacket is undone. The left side of her face is illuminated by the strip of light near the closet door. 

The actual screen cap used for reference is pasted in a small window at the top right corner of the image.
