Hey, it's Ray! I'm a Texan board, cover, and comic artist that loves all things Star Trek and scifi. I'd love to join your team! #PortfolioDay

A Klingon woman and a Starfleet captain having a stand-off. Blath'karr is holding a bat'leth and symbolically preventing the USS Diagne from nearing Qo'nos. She is looming and snarling over Captain El-tehs, a Romulan, while they look up at her. A three panel comic of two Starfleet officers talking to each other, Lieutenant Abubakar and Ensign Nako. They are in a cave system with bright cyan pools. In the first panel, Abubakar says, “Subsurface development changed the probability of crew fatality. I had not anticipated this when I put you on the mission.” Nako asks, “Getting trapped, you mean?” In the second panel Utut is near a pool and says to Abubakar, “Not my first mission, love. These things happen.” Abubakar responds in two bubbles with a break in the middle, “Things I could have expected, yet failed to do so.” and “I am responsible if something happens to you.” In the third panel Nako looks at Abubakar and responds in two bubbles, “Ọdab! Let’s not dive right to mourning. You can’t anticipate everything, Kadi.” and “Take responsibility for finding us this gorgeous date spot!” An illustration of a family photograph of Beckett Mariner and Carol and Alonzo Freeman from Star Trek: Lower Decks. Carol and Alonzo are lower deckers aboard the Enterprise D and Beckett is a small child. Around them are Worf, Data, Geordi, and Riker. They’re posed on the bridge with the Enterprise dedication plaque behind them. A four-panel comic of Amethyst and Pearl from Steven Universe showing each other paintings they have done of each other. In the first panel Pearl worriedly reveals a realistic portrait of Amethyst and says, “If we had more time, mine wouldn’t look so amateur…” in cursive. In the second panel Amethyst is nodding while looking at the painting. In the third panel Amethyst has flipped her easel around towards Pearl to reveal her painting of Pearl. Pearl is depicted as an ostrich squawking loudly with paint splatters. Amethyst is smiling while saying, “I went for more of a feeling...” The fourth panel is a close-up of Pearl pursing her lips together angrily with an arched brow. Amethyst is going ‘hu hu hu’ from off-screen.

Three faces that have been in my mind all month, and will likely never leave—and sadly, there will likely be more. People need to start thinking really hard about what’s going on, and as an artist there’s a lot we can do.

A donation encouragement post from the organizers of "They Were Bunkmates" A Marinler Fannzine #2". The image, titled "They Were Bunkmates"- written in the retro Gold Key Star Trek comics disruptor font (by Ray Daly), shows a retro Chibi Brad Boimler and Beckett Mariner hold up a photo-card that says: "Gaza Orphan Sponsorship By contributing to this general fund, you can play a vital role in providing all-around emergency care for orphans, offering them hope and stability in the aftermath of conflict." Over the photo-card, sits a Palestinian sun bird holding an olive branch in it's beaks, and a blue text that says: Next Target. The background is dark blue space with lots of stars. Boimler is wearing a Palestinian flag armband over his uniforms sleeves on his right arm and Mariner is wearing a watermelon pi over her uniform lapel.

The first 3 pages of my Star Trek fan comic are up and they basically make up the episode's teaser before the opening credits.

I guess content warning for the violent murder in page 1?

New pages go up on Sundays at www.RideByNight.com

#iDrewThis
Panel 1: Inside a Bajoran shrine. At the front of the room is a reliquary for an Orb, with a kneeling bench in front of it. A woman stands next to it, and a little girl stands back and to the side a bit, clutching her plush palukoo doll. Both woman and child are cloaked in deep shadow and we can’t see details of either. Panel 2: We get a close-up of the woman as she prays in Bajoran. We see that she is Bajoran and is wearing a Dominion-War-era Starfleet uniform (command division, provisional rank of Lt. Commander). Panel 3: The girl sits on the floor and plays with her doll. We see that she’s half-Bajoran and half-Trill. She hears the *whoosh* of a door opening and turns to look, curious. Panel 4: A Cardassian soldier has entered the shrine, cloaked in deep shadow so we don’t see many details. The child has dropped her doll. Child: …Marnah… Panel 5: The Cardassian aims his phase-disruptor rifle and fires several blasts in rapid succession. Panel 6: The child rushes forward, arm outstretched and screaming. Behind her, we see her as a grownup: Lt. Commander Ezmi Idaris, wearing her own modern Starfleet uniform, rushing forward and screaming just like her child version is. Child Ezmi and Adult Ezmi: MARNAH! Panel 1: Ezmi sits up in bed in her quarters, screaming with arm outstretched, just as she was in her dream. This wakes up Ti’Ana, who’s lying next to her. Ezmi: MARNAH! Panels 2 and 3: Ti’Ana grabs her phaser from a bedside holster and taps the comm panel on her nightstand. Panel 4: Ti’Ana holds her phaser ready and scans the room for whatever her girlfriend was just screaming at. Next to her, Ezmi is visibly freaked out by her dream and panting to calm herself down. Ti’Ana: SECURITY ALERT! MY QUARTERS. Ezme (quietly): no. Panel 5: Ti’Ana reaches out to comfort Ezmi, who’s curled up clutching her knees, crying. The chirp of a doorbell can be heard offscreen as Security arrives at their quarters. Ti’Ana: Ezmi? Ezmi: stand down. Ti’Ana: Another nightmare about your mother? Security (thru comms): SECURITY! Panel 1: Ezmi’s now hiding her face behind her arms. Ti’Ana gets out of bed. Ti’Ana: I’d better go talk to them. I’ll grab you a tea too. Panel 2: The camera pulls back a bit, showing Ezmi alone in bed. Ezmi: thank you. Panel 3: We see inside the quarters from outside the ship. Ezmi flops backwards in bed. Ezmi: ugh. Panel 4: The camera pulls back more and we see part of the saucer section of the USS Sally Ride NCC-83618. Ezmi: i really shouldn’t have come here. Panel 5: We pull back more and see that the Ride is travelling at warp, escorted by two Cardassian warships. Intertitle Text: Ride by Night. Chapter One — The Night Shift

A rough two-panel illustration of Utut Nako using the lyrics to "No Place Like Home". In the first illustration she is looking out through a window while reaching towards it. It is captioned, "If we just keep fighting for it," In the second illustration we see through the window that she's reaching towards her home planet, Oistir, while a reflection of her pained expression is visible in the glass. Is it captioned, "We'll win back and restore it."
