My new found love of Enterprise made me do it.
Copy text from my lj:
You can add the Sandbaby to the ever growing list of Tucker children that Tucker doesnt get to keep.
There should probably be some philosophically metaphorical explanation for this, something like..Enterprise is a show where somebody is always knocking down Trips sandcastle….but there isnt one.
Mom wanted me to draw Shran. I put alot of energy into getting her to think Trip and Tpol were an adorable couple and then she goes and says “Archer and Shran are totally made for each other” and then I LOL’d.
I would have loved for there to be another season because Shran was supposed to be a permanent crew member..I have no idea what they would have made him do but Shran was made of pure win in every scene he’s in. Andorians are probably the most unoriginal alien species ever created but it didnt stop Shrans awesomeness.
however I couldnt do a very good likeness of him 8| Ive never had good caricature skills so I fell to my backup of just going to pure cute because it distracts people. I didnt even look up any references of him lol, I vaguely remember his costume but when I tried to draw all of it he started looking like a super hero, so its really simplified.
and this is probably also out of character cause I dont think Shran would knock down Trips sand sculpture…he’d knock over Tpols sure..but he wouldnt knock over Trips unless it somehow benefited him to….you know what, screw it cause they’d never be building sandcastles on the beach anyway.
I dont think I have to worry about this but I am aware Tpol doesnt need sunglasses, I did it for pure cuteness sake.
I got really tired of drawing that umbrella.
My next dog is totally going to be named Archer
