September 2022 is the month marking 35 years of Star Trek TNG, the show that introduced me to the Star Trek universe and Science Fiction as a whole, and shaped so much of my life.
Over on Twitter, I was asked to take part in the #TNG35Art, where many artists who love TNG will be showing art they made in celebration each day of the month.
I had the pleasure of making this portrait of Guinan, with her knowing gaze and enigmatic smile. I am looking forward to seeing the art this month in celebration of Star Trek and following some new artists <3
↳While the Enterprise is docked at DS9 Jadzia makes a trip onto it and ends up in Ten Forward where she meets someone familiar. Guinan has met a Dax (or two) before in the past and despite the new host recognizes her right away and they fall back into the same old pattern of flirting and talking about everything they possibly can.
[ID: screenshots from Star Trek DS9. Data is talking to Guinan.
Data: “I believe what you are seeing is the effect of the fluid dynamic processes inherent in the large-scale motion of rarefied gas.”
Guinan: “No, no, first, it was a fish, and now, it’s Mintonian sailing ship.”
Data: “I do not see it. It is interesting that people try to find meaningful patterns in things that are essentially random. I have noticed that the images they perceive sometimes suggest what they are thinking about at that particular moment. Besides, it’s clearly a bunny rabbit.”
