Aer's Redshirt Perils - 1 (Patreon)

I've never been a huge trekkie - caught a few episodes and movies here and there when I was a lil' Wossa and my dad would put it on TV, but that was about it. Recently, however, some fellow streamers have been putting episodes of TNG on as in-stream entertainment while they draw, so I'd say I've seen maybe.. 20-ish, episodes of that now? Anyway, I guess I'm just trying to come up with a long winded excuse for drawing the cute dress uniform from TOS. ;) Nomad's collection of Uhura distress pictures probably helped plant that seed in my mind, too! https://www.deviantart.com/we-r-nomad/gallery/27384152/uhura

For those unfamiliar, in the original 60s show, unnamed crew members would sometimes be sacrificed in the name of making a threat look, well, threatening - but without having to kill off an important character. ;) More info here: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/RedShirt

Of course, Ensign Aer isn't going to die, but some occasional peril and distress builds character, right? :p

More to come throughout the month!
