ST-NJ: TREK TO NEW JERSEY #stnj

Makeup notes, because a dead redshirt asked me what makeup I used:

chapstick

Blue ColorMax Colored Contacts: from Gothika https://gothika.com/shop/blue-colormax-fx-contact-lenses-pair/

Rimmel matte primer: it makes the paint stick better and go on more smoothly

KVD Dazzle Gel Cobalt Vortex: around the eyes

Moon Shot Vegan Lipstick: https://goodgoth.com/moon-shot-vegan-lipstick/

Mehron Paradise Makeup Aq Light Blue: a few coats, with hairdryer in between to dry it

Ben Nye Twilight Blue, Celestial Bleu, and White Pressed Eye Shadow: to shade

ColourPop Blue Ya Mind mascara

Tater Rounds Beauty Blue Spirit translucent interference powder: just a little bit on the lips and around the eyes to set the paint

Ben Nye Final Seal: to seal

Andorian Ale prop

Top row is my recreation; bottom row is the original prop.

Autographed Ushaan-tor shown for scale.

I was unable to find the same bottle type that was shown on ENT. The closest bottle that I could find was a Morey limoncello bottle, which is wider and has a shorter neck than the original. If anyone knows where I can buy a bottle more similar to the original, please tell me.

I used 1/4 in gold tape to the do the striping. As near as I can tell from the auction photos of the bottle, the vertical gold stripe is only on one side of the bottle, but the auction photos make it look like the stripe is on the opposite side from the ENT photos?

Because the bottle I used has a shorter neck, I couldn't fit in two gold stripes below the neck sticker. I suppose I could have made my neck sticker smaller, but I would need to make it much smaller to fit in two stripes. So I went with what I could fit that still seemed to look good. I made the necker sticker on Redbubble.

I had to change the cap on the bottle, and the Morey limoncello cap was glued on rather hard. I think I used the cap from a bottle of Atomik.

Afterwards, we went to TSAoCAA to sample Earthling cuisine.

The ushaan-tor is made of rubber-like (MJF) thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) material. It was primed with Flexbond, under-painted with Rust-Oleum hammer black, glossed with Pledge Floor Care Finish, chromed with Spaz Stix Ultimate Mirror Chrome, and the black handle was painted with Blk 3.0 and then coated with a 50/50 mixture of Flexbond and Pledge Floor Care Finish to make it safer to handle. This ushaan-tor, being made of rubber-like, should be safe at cons. It's not sharp at all.

I made the STL design myself using Inventor, based off various canon designs.

meet erit! (also known as eri or chilli, and coming to you from the creative genius of @hipothermia). erit is a member of a feline-like alien species and she is sweet, stubborn, and has some mind-control powers (just like my cats tbh). I loved getting a chance to doodle her! getting to play with her patterning and her color-scheme, her cute ears and nose and the slightly longer features — it was just so much fun. (girls & femmes who look just vaguely inhuman are some of my favorite subjects to draw — you get to be so creative and have so much fun with them.) look at her pearlescent skin! her cute lil pink nose! this is my… third? lineless digital portrait and i hope i did her justice. ♡ i only wish i had done her spots a little darker, but i collapsed the layers before i thought of it. i suppose that's what a second drawing is for...?

eri is besties with rocket and has a crush on pete (she also likes to annoy pete so i assume this is how she flirts - very catlike tbh). of course rocket is an ass about it because rocket. ♡ she was born into a cult that left her to die somewhere (i know, fuck ‘em, right??) but now she’s got the most perfect, most dysfunctional found family, so it all turned out okay!

thank you for letting me draw eri, @hipothermia. it was truly a pleasure and i hope you enjoy the drawings as much as i enjoyed making them!
