trek collab

@trekcollab / trekcollab.tumblr.com

Trek Collab is an ongoing, open-participation collaborative art project for Star Trek fanartists. Essentially, an online, fan-created coloring book!
Have a sketch or line drawing that you want to allow other artists to color? Feel like coloring but not drawing? This is the place!
Current Theme: Minor Characters
LINES - COLORS - THEMES - RULES & FAQ

This is for trekcollab

Free for any artists/colourists to colour if you like! Just please don’t remove my signature and url (but you can move the url to a different place if needed) and tag #torpedoesarts and #trekcollab when you post it.

High res version here. Let me know if you would like an even larger version.

For colourists working in Mischief, here’s the Mischief file to download.

Hi! I just discovered your page and I'm so excited about it! I love art collabs and would love to participate too! I just wanted to ask a question first because of past experience... I draw lots of TOS but also lots of reboot, and some of the Trek sites are run by people who focus on hatred rather than loving the series and who exclude newer series. I've seen people treat other horribly for liking the reboot or Enterprise, or also Voyager and DS9. Is reboot art welcome here? Thanks in advance!

Anything related to any Trek series, movie, or even the millions of books is welcome!

As per the last admin post, the whole round/sign-up element is officially over! Now you can contribute lines and colors any time you like. There's a new rules and FAQ page to reflect this. Let me know if you feel I've missed any important info.

onesmallgarden suggested having occasional themes, and we're starting off with Minor Characters! This and any future themes are just for a bit of extra fun and inspiration, incorporating them into your work is totally optional.

Today's the day to post lineart assignments, but there are only a few people wanting to sign up - and since I, for one, don't want this community to die while it's still a li'l fetus, I'm thinking perhaps the structure of the community should be changed. 

Under consideration is making the general premise and participation less restrictive, creating a much more open coloring book collection of collaborations rather than month-to-month rounds. With this method, any Trek-related sketch or line drawing that any artist does, at any time, could be posted here if the artist would like to allow others to take a crack at rendering it, with the option of doing so open indefinitely. This could additionally involve a yearly Secret Santa exchange to keep things interesting.

Thoughts? Other ideas? 

LINEART SIGN-UPS: CYCLE TWO

If you’d like to contribute lineart over the next few months, starting with April, now’s the time to sign up! To do so, just reply to [the original post] or send an ask - please say which show(s) you’re likely to draw for, so they can be as evenly distributed as possible (you are not locked into this, if you end up drawing for a different series that’s fine!). 

Sign-ups will remain open until assigned months are posted on Monday, March 3rd. Lineart will be due within the first week of your assigned month and you will have from now until then to complete it. 

This time we’ll try out bi-monthly rounds in the hopes that the extra time will encourage more color entries. 

Obligatory question mark: ?

okay!!! here we are my lineart for this round of trekcollab if this doesn’t work for some folks I’ll attempt to use the scanner at my home and post that as well, but this should be printing quality~

My line art for the trekcollab! [hi res file]

Anyone can color it and be sure to tag it #trekcollab by the end of the month!

I’ve been wanting to draw something based on the Far Beyond the Stars episode for aaages and this was a perfect opportunity. 

(fyi for the mod: I was signed up as polunocnica because my art blog isn’t my ‘main’ blog and tumblr is dumb)

Reminder to our second round of artists that drawings are due by the first week of February! They can be submitted directly or posted to your own tumblr with the tag #trekcollab to be reblogged.

I watercolored Jamiekinosian’s lineart from Trek Collab!

There are plenty of little mistakes, but overall, I’m actually pretty happy with it. I had a lot fun and learned a TON.

I printed this out on some random thick paper that I found lying around which turned out to be less than ideal. The paper took up the paint somewhat differently than watercolor paper and, once I was already partway through, I found it had a seam/perforated line down the middle.
