Description:

Celebrating Star Trek Day (Sept. 8) 2021 with ponified versions of my favorite Enterprise bridge crew! I'm so happy with how all of these turned out, considering the mad dash manner in which I worked on them, lol. Not bad for a day-and-a-half's work, if I do say so myself, but I'll probably revisit and pretty them all up later on (and at a more reasonable pace!). I really wanted to include Nurse Chapel for today, but I just didn't have the time; she'll definitely be added later!

ANYWAY, here we have Communications Officer Lieutenant Nyota Uhura as a zebra and Chief Engineering Officer Lieutenant Commander Montgomery "Scotty" Scott! I wasn't expecting just how much chonky Scotty would steal my heart, but he has and I love him. He's also the only ponified crewmember to break the mold on height. I kept everyone else's height in rough proportion, but for Scotty I really wanted to highlight his Scottish Clydesdale design influence, which is also the main reason he's an earth pony. Uhura of course was destined to be a zebra due to both the character's and Nichelle Nichols' heritage and history-making role on the show, and the fact that Uhura is canonically fluent in Swahili is icing on the cake!

For all of the ponified crew, I tried to keep as much of the original characters' traits as possible, especially with their eyes and hair. Everyone had such clean-cut hairstyles in TOS that it was a little difficult picking out enough differences to make each mane and tail style unique, but I love where they all landed. Love None of them have cutie marks and I don't intend to give them any, mostly because I don't really enjoy drawing/keeping up with cutie marks, but in my headcanon (wow, I never have headcanons, lol, what's happening to me?) I like to think that ponies have evolved out of cutie marks by the Trek era, which seems to be supported by their increasing minimization across the generations, lol.

Ponified Crew of the USS Enterprise:
The Triumvirate: Kirk, Spock, McCoy
Operations Officers: Uhura, Scotty
Navigation Officers: Sulu, Chekov
