Art Trek: Cybernetic implant set to SEXY MODE

 It's not a toilet seat!  It's a folded up robe, albeit with a collar that looks a lot like a toilet seat depending on one's frame of mind...

 

 Anyway, enough from the depths beyond the U-bend of Mago's subconscious, what I want to do is publish an explanatory post complete with screenshots and lines from the various episodes of Star Trek: Lower Decks that inspired the following artistic lascivious dalliances with my current infatuation and muse, Ensign Sam Rutherford.

 But, as I said over at The Very Mistress's place in answer to her question about how the year is going for her faithful bitches, today* has been "filled with far too many irritants and annoyances already, and I can't seem to get anything done."  So, there's precious little explanation, just some pervy Rutherford 'art' which probably won't mean anything to anyone who hasn't watched Lower Decks eleventy-billion times...

 

* The "today" in question was actually last Sunday, 5th Feb.

This past week didn't get much better - I'm only publishing this so that you know I'm still alive.

 

 In between life stuff (barely any of it my own), I've been working on my Rutherford Action Figures (click the link and scroll down to the belugas in starfleet uniforms - honestly, it'll help to make sense of all this), including repackaging, and adding some new editions:

 

 

# 1 : Cetacean Plaything Edition, from November 2022 (although the Cerritos Gift Shop packaging was new in January 2023)

# 2 : Full Moon(s) Fan Dance Rutherford, 19th January - In between other things that day, I managed to find time to flesh out an idea I had the week or so before for the second in the 'Rutherford as a cetacean plaything' series.  This time he's teasing those frisky belugas in cetacean ops (really, click the link!) with the proper version of the fan dance he performed in LDS: "Veritas".

[The moon and palm fronds are inspired by Uhura's original fan dance in ST V, but everything else is from "Veritas" - except 'SEXY MODE' which is from "No Small Parts"]

 

# 5 : Gorn Wedding Crasher Rutherford, 21st January - This one was inspired by Rutherford's unwilling (and unwitting) adventures in LDS: "Veritas".   I found it curious that although his uniform was shredded, Rutherford himself was unmarked by the Gorn "attack". Perhaps there was another reason that they were so intent on removing his clothes...?
[The Gorn bride didn't have a bouquet, but she did have a head-dress made of flowers.   And the "bite radius" bit on the warning sticker is inspired by Mirror Phlox's line about an adult Gorn having a bite radius similar to that of a Velociraptor (from ENT: "In A Mirror, Darkly, Part II") - I changed it to Deinonychus because Velociraptors are quite small (their size may have been inflated in the Jurassic Park/World movies, just as they were in the original novel).]

 

# 6 : Hungry, Hungry Hulk-Out Rutherford I hastily slapped together on 4th February, and is based on Rutherford's despair at the cancellation of the pie-eating contest (from LDS: "Trusted Sources").

 If there's anyone still here, here's the design evolution of the Full Moon Fan Dance Edition for January's Trek BBS Fan Art Challenge:
