2023 TrekAdvent, Day 7

Day 7 of TrekAdvent is upon us and we find the Romulan Star Empire taking their own dip into the world of Battlestar Galactica. We as viewers have seen Romulan Warbirds and scout vessels before, but as far as I can remember the closest we’ve come to seeing smaller space combat vessels was in Star Trek: Nemesis where a large compliment of Scorpion-Class attack fliers was housed in the shuttlebay of the Scimitar. (and those weren’t even Romulan, they were Reman. So don’t Um Actually me.) If the Romulans were salty about not having toys as cool as those used by what they perceived as their inferior Reman caste, they might have swiped a few Colonial Vipers in order to give the Tal’Shiar some sharper teeth.

2023 TrekAdvent, Day 3

On this 3rd day of TrekAdvent we turn our eyes to the Cylons of the reimagined Battlestar Galactica series. Cold, calculating machines of violence and deception who decimate their human enemies with no sense of honor. But what if Raiders, the living ships of their attack fleet, were co-opted for use in glorious battle by the Klingon Empire? How would the Klingon Defense Force change these vessels in order to fight alongside K’t’inga, Vor’cha and Bird of Prey class warships?

What if…? The Last Starfighter sequel books.

After putting together those Quantum Leap book covers, I revived an old sequel idea I had about 5 years ago for the classic (back off, haters) sci-fi film The Last Starfighter. Again, if the story was adapted to books rather than film, what might the covers look like? Well, I’ve been watching Star Trek Discovery and The Flash lately, among other shows, so I borrowed Doug Jones and Tom Cavanaugh (more accurately their faces) to create these paperback covers.

What if…? Quantum Leap sequel novels

Lately I’ve been exercising my photoshop muscles and my creativity by constructing covers for paperbacks that do not exist. In this post, I have covers for a trilogy of Quantum Leap novels that continue the story from the television series. For more on what that story would look like, find a recent episode of Cosmic Potato: The Super Fan Talk Podcast where I appear as a guest alongside host Shawn Wray and very special guest Christopher DeFilippis (author of the Quantum Leap novel Foreknowledge) and ramble on about it.

Star Trek designs.

I was hit by a fun idea recent;y, so I decided to hit it back by turning it into a series of images.  These are Star Trek themed designs suitable for framing, or square coasters, or even tattoos if you’re feeling particularly saucy.  I created four designs representing the classic recognizable divisions of Starfleet (plus the infamous and debatable Section 31 with custom made division emblem) and another four highlighting arguably the four most famous “villainous” alien races in Trek history.
