Contest: ENTER May 2020 Art Challenge - Princessium and the Po*

[Cyfa]

133 years (and 10 days) from now, Princess Kaitaama will ascend to the throne becoming First Monarch of the Sovereign Dynasty of Krios Prime. This anti-time anniversary has inspired the theme for this month's Fan Art Challenge: Royalty!

I'd like us to explore Star Trek's links to royalty - however tenuous they may be. People, places/palaces(?), objects, alien assimilators, starships... All of these and more feature in the Star Trek Universe.
And if you're not fussed by TNG's Princessium (symbol Di - yes, really ), DS9's Queen's Gambit, VOY's right royal knockout: Arachnia, Queen of the Spider People - all of which I'm sure Daughter of the Fifth House (etc. etc.) Lwaxana Troi, would have something to say about from her state room on board a certain Sovereign-class starship - then feel free to come up with your own Royal Trek idea.

Here are the rules for the competition:

• the artwork you submit should be created during the month of the challenge
  
• only one final image can be submitted (although it may contain multiple views)
• your final entry should be posted in this thread (although dedicated WIP threads are appreciated)
• and if you don't follow the rules: Off With Your Head! (sorry - I had to get a TAS reference in)

As always, you have until the end of the month - i.e. midnight (or thereabouts) Sunday 31st May - to come up with a Right Royal Star Trek something.

* as in Po (had to get a DSC reference in, too!)

Neat idea! I wonder what monarchy looks like in the future of Star Trek.

 

[Finn]

I'm already working on something.





Not a painting this time


My first attempt

The triangles represent the 16 nation-states that joined up with the superpower of the planet to form an interstellar empire...

some ideas for people

- Thanks, gazomg! I've had no clue what to do (you'd think I would have had something in mind as I set the theme, but oh no ), but your post has inspired me.

P.S. I've always loved your Egyptian Queen Troi - so imperious!

 

[Finn]

I like this version...for now

The Empress would receive your fealty now...

- That's one royal engagement I think I'd rather miss Menacing!

There's a little over a day left before the deadline - Does anyone else have a Royal Trek something to show?

Great art. However, the pink dome was used for a couple alien ships during the TNG era, so it's a bit distracting for me.

The "Pink dome" isn't that, it is the mycelial core that was used aboard the empresses ship.. I'm sure that's what @BorgMan was going for

Having made the little yacht, I couldn't think of a background/scene for it, so this will have to do:

If you want to see the kind of scene I wish I had the time & skills to pull off, just have a look at @BorgMan's take on Britannia here!

I'm not going to have time first thing in the morning to put the voting thread up, so I'll do it when I finish work instead (about 6-7pm GMT). That means, for those of you who are still working on something, you have a few extra hours to apply the finishing touches and post it here
