# About me
Wife, mom, & grandmother. INTJ. I'm a military veteran, married to a veteran. I used to draw a lot in high school--I perfected my shading technique in algebra class--but as an adult, I just got busy with work and family. Now I'm eager to make up for lost time. Sometimes I do totally original stuff, and sometimes I do fan art (from which I derive no revenue).- Terms of Use for my Art -
I assert full ownership of all my works, to the extent allowed by law.
You're welcome to use my Star Trek or other franchise art on your fan-related, non-revenue-generating, non-hateful site as long as you credit me & link back to my profile or the site of the original image. You don't need further permission to do this, but I would love it if you notified me so I can see where you used it.
However, you must ask first before using my original, non-fan work in any capacity outside of established Fair Use laws. I'll probably say yes as long as your site is noncommercial and family-friendly (you know: non-pornographic, non-racist, not bashing people over their religion or philosophy, and just generally plays well with others), but I reserve the right to accept or refuse on an individual basis, or to require compensation for commercial use, at my own discretion.
- Requests -
Sorry, but I can't take unpaid requests or trades at this time because I barely have time to do all the pictures that are already haunting my brain. If I really like a fanfic or an OC or a reference photo, and if I think my skills can do it justice, and if I have the time, then I might just do a free illustration for it, unasked. Otherwise, I can only consider paid commissions. Considering that my best work takes many hours of effort, expect me to price commissions accordingly.
- Llamas -
Okay, I still don't get what all the llamas are all about, but if you give me one, I'll give you one back. (If I owe you a llama from way back before I started returning them, let me know.)
- In Closing -
I truly appreciate each and every one of the faves, comments, and watches I receive. The encouragement of the dA community continually inspires me to keep creating and improving.

You know something funny I noticed? When I looked up ε Indi (said to be the star that the Andorian homeworld orbits in Star Trek), one of the representative pictures that Google Images brought up looks an awful lot like the Andorian homeworld: www.bibliotecapleyades.net/nue…
Crazy coincidence.

Interesting! Wonder if the artist was a Trekker. I wasn't even aware that the Andorian star had been identified.
Some time ago while researching 40 Eridani A (Vulcan's star) I found this painting of a "hypothetical planet in the habitable zone": www.flickr.com/photos/dt2006/5…

Well, IIRC it was split between two possibilities, this being one of them. I forget the name of the other star.
Haha, seems kind of green. I thought Vulcan was a desert planet, although I suppose there's still a possibility of some greenery there and we just never saw it.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, there have to be forests, swamps, and especially farmlands somewhere on the planet, even if they never showed them onscreen. You can't support a population without those things. Same for Andor being a winter planet. Hello, Trek writers, ever heard of a food chain?
Of course I understand that they can't cover all these finer points in an episodic TV series. But that's where fans get to fill in the gaps. I like the Unicorn RPG modules (what I know of them; I don't actually own a copy) for filling in the gaps on Vulcan.
I think Roddenberry went with 40 Eridani A because it was "old enough to support evolution of an advanced species," unlike the other candidate, apparently.
Hope all is well at the South Pole these days.
