On January 1, 2012, Anthony Maurasse resolved to draw William Thomas Riker every day for a year. This is a documentation of his efforts as he stumbles through a barrage of trombones and beards. I accept questions and even requests! Ask me anything!

Wow, studying the colors on the original actually made me appreciate it more.  Then again, I didn't think too highly of the Mona Lisa until I started studying the colors of it.

Tomorrow is the background and then I should be done with it!

Also those hands are possibly my favorite thing that I've drawn ever

Mr. Worf, I HATE surprises!

I was hoping to put 2 days' work into this and then surprise you guys but I really like how it's turning out so I'mma stretch it a little further!

Report in!

Oh, this is where we get to the lengthy/hard part.  Just a progress shot of my process.  Nothing to see, here.

No one has ever offered to turn me into a god before.

Holy shit, I should draw upside-down Riker more often.  I was just kind of shitting him out and then he turned out way amazing.

RIKER EVERY DAY TOURNAMENT PACK

You thought I was gone?!  Fuck you!  Here's 7 days worth of Rikers!

Wow, paper.  Haven't used that in a while.

Also, my scanner is totally borked.  Or something.  It pretty much killed the levels on these and I had to fix them heavily afterward (but still suffered a serious quality loss).  I don't know what I'll do in the future if I have to do this again.

Rikuotes (Riquotes?) are on the images themselves in my luscious handwriting!
