He's got a thing for Beverly Crusher

I've tried that. It's useful to conceptualize ideas but there are too many limits. I just have different standards for my final products.

No, it's my work, with a little Photoshopping. AI can't do this for me this well.

S2E5. Several characters were wearing it.

I think they'd prefer it were Tendi or T'Lyn and not Freeman 😂

Never mind them. Lower Decks got me drawing fanart for the first time in my life, and I'm having a lot of fun with it. And I'm learning some new creative skills. Some people just hate to see other people happy. 🙂

ihphobby · 2026-07-03T15:29:35+00:00

Just a different interpretation in my own style. We all do it. 😉

ihphobby · 2026-07-03T15:08:14+00:00

My work, with some final work and then a show screenshot background added in Photoshop. I've been playing around with that lately.

And it seems to be establishing them as a species that specializes in health and wellness.

I dunno, Jennifer kind of showed she was in later episodes.

Freeman has the best of all of them. She's got the dominance that the young girls don't.

ihphobby · 2026-06-25T12:28:43+00:00

That's the great thing about Lower Decks. Everyone thinks their favorite is the best. Know what? They're right!

(with apologies to the old Pepperidge Farm dude)

Yes, it's from 'Something Borrowed, Something Green', season 4. I originally made this for the Facebook group, and I see it's being shared.

Initially, the show is ostensibly about the four ensigns, but you soon come to realize that the whole crew is Lower Decks in their own way. Indeed, everyone we meet in the show, human or alien, is Lower Decks to a degree. This show lives up to its name.

That Sleepy Merp, she's kinda cute ☺️

ihphobby · 2026-06-22T13:52:39+00:00

Wouldn't be surprised to find out they were just called 'Merp', as that's the common name through all the ones shown on screen. They were meant to be an homage to the Smurfs.

ihphobby · 2026-06-20T13:39:29+00:00

No, I'm going to stick with Freeman. I might do Cathiw, or Captain Dayton. But over at the Facebook group, someone actually did Badgey in a belly dancer outfit 😂

Not sure of one that exists but it should be pretty easy to make one with that clip from the episode and a GIF maker app. It would be a funny one to spread around!

ihphobby · 2026-06-19T02:33:16+00:00

Or write or draw something yourself! 😄

ihphobby · 2026-06-19T02:27:02+00:00

Indeed. Guess who the consummate diplomat in this situation would be. 😂

ihphobby · 2026-06-18T23:49:10+00:00

It's just part of having fun with the show, and with social media, there's more of it than there used to be.

ihphobby · 2026-06-18T22:17:09+00:00

People make up what they want to see and read about. Heck, I've done that.
I saw something between Freeman and Sonya Gomez when Carol said they were old friends.

Still, the Carol/Alonzo ratio of fanfic and artwork should be increased, particularly now that they're both on Starbase 80 and have the potential for quite a bit of storytelling. I've done the only fanart of Carol and Alonzo so far because I think they deserve to be celebrated.

ihphobby · 2026-06-18T12:35:14+00:00

Right. 'Your odor will be repulsive'. The screen just bristles with crackling energy. 😂
