OK....this one has a bit of a story to it. :shrug: Again, as it seems with any Borg-themed dev nowadays. But this one's far from comical.

Those of you who have watched Star Trek know that the Borg use people as their drones--people who had no choice in the matter, and people who fought ending up this way as hard as they could, only to fail.

These are two characters in a Trek fanfic I may or may not start posting up in Fanfiction...the woman is, or as this picture seems to show, was Borgphobic. The obviously disconnected drone had ended up fighting the Borg tooth and nail. Ended up taking out like 20 drones before one of his bombs blew up on him, and the Collective thought it'd gotten a free tactical drone in the deal. He'd expected to be dead, but woke up a Borg instead. So as you can see when he DOES get disconnected, he isn't gonna be too happy about being turned into a walking bio-mechanical tank of sorts....

I'd had reservations about even posting this to dA, but when ~cmdrgabee said she loved Resistance is Futile, I thought again. Her lineart in her own fan works is amazing, so I figured she must know something about what makes good fanart. :aww: So you wanted to see more Trek fanart...well here it is. :D

So, I've seen Star Trek: First Contact recently, and it's helped me in figuring out how to detail a Borg. Believe me, it's not as easy as it looks. :|

Painted in Adobe Photoshop 7.0 with digital tablet and pen. Probably took like 8 hours-2 or 3 increments of shorter time periods to get it done.

Star Trek and the Borg are copyrighted Paramount Studios. I'm just...borrowing them. :aww:

It's posted!:w00t:

I LOVE it. And good to see the emphasis on the tears is better from the last draft I saw of it. I feel sorry for Pissy/Kreegis. You've mastered both poses perfectly.:)

Worth it.:+fav: :nod:

We cross our bridges when we come to them and burn them behind us, with nothing to show for our progress except a memory of the smell of smoke, and a presumption that once our eyes watered.

Thanks. :D I just wasn't sure how that'd come out, but I'd like to think I could get SOMETHING with emotional punch up to dA.

Years are like fractals. The more you've seen of them, the more you appreciate the details of each one, rather than how many you've seen.

A first of many, I hope. If you take this fanfic to the drafting level, I can predict much more.;p

:nod: Yah, both this one and Resistance is Futile will probably end up becoming material for preview pics. :D

As you can also tell, all our old comical RPing of the fanfic was all well and good, but I'm going to put more seriousness into it than I originally anticipated. :D And I may trim the Flirty drone down to a few sentences rather than hassling our poor Borgphobe all the time. :giggle:

But Flirty is an awesome character! He can vanish though, and every now and then, we hear a stifled scream when BDSM-Drone is working him over in some remote part of the cube.:D

Mmm, I smile! It's heartwarming, in a slightly twisted and definitely odd way...:D
