Vol 3 of “They Were Bunkmates” is out now! Grab a copy of this #StarTrekLowerDecks digital fanzine on dub.sh/marinler26 where 26 contributors come together to explore and celebrate #BeckettMariner and #BradBoimler ❤️💜 The zine is free; all donations will be sent to actionkivu.org/ #StarTrek #zine

The cover art for "They Were Bunkmates: A Marinler Fanzine- Volume 3" 2026.

Front cover (left):

ART by Orchi: An illustration with blue, purple and pink palette- the colors of a bisexual flag, loosely inspired by George Barbier’s iconic 1925 Art deco illustration "Le Feu" (Fire) published in Falbalas et Fanfreluches, Almanach des Modes.

Lieutenants Beckett Mariner and Brad Boimler are sitting on the wide railing of a balcony. They are both wearing the ceremonial while uniform lined with gold. Mariner is [partially laying on Boimler, resting her left arm in his lap. Boimler is cupping her head in his left hand.

In her right hand, Beckett is holding a salmon pink alien flower, which she is caressing Brad’s face with. He’s holding her hand in his and smiling at her. Beckett is whispering something to him.

Underneath them, on the railing is a see through sheet of sparkly pink Andorian silk. On the right side of the frame, next to where the railing ends, is a block with a giant flower pot on it. The pot has a white Calla Lilly like plant, with pink and blue leaves. The vase is white, with golden handles, rim and bottom. The railing, floor tiles, the block are also white, but lined with gold emblems. It is night time, and the dark blue sky behind them is lit by purple and red fireworks

Middle Spine: A purple art deco frame surrounded by dark blue background of a starry sky, the frame contents "They Were Bunkmates- A Marinler Fanzine" in fancy white lettering. Art by Ray Daly.

Back cover: (right)
ART by Foodcu-be: An Archie-comics style illustration of Mariner kissing Boimler on the cheek. Mariner has her eyes closed and is smiling. Boimler has one visible arm up in the air while he is dizzy and blushing. Floating around them cartoonishly are T’lyn, Rutherford, and Tendi. Rutherford is without his implant. There is a blue header across the top. The title reads “THEY WERE BUNKMATES #3” in red with a white stroke. In the comics corner box is a moopsy.

Does artistic nudity need to be flagged here, too? @moderation.bsky.app

An illustration of Captain El-tehs and LT JG Puguon speaking to each other. El-tehs gestures to himself and says, "We are at identical states of undress, yet only you would warrant censorship? Highly illogical." Puguon replies while tapping her temple, "You're trying to apply Vulcan logic to 21st century misogyny, Captain." Behind them are the ifugao rice terraces.

Jr. Lieutentant Puguon, Environmental Engineer Since her graduation from Starfleet Academy, Cuyappi Puguon continues to elevate the standards for Terrestrial-Aquatic ship interiors across Starfleet vessels. #StarTrek #RedVest #OriginalCharacter

An illustration of Jr Lieutenant Puguon, a starfleet engineer. On the left, she stands in her Starfleet engineering uniform and red vest. She has bangs and a low ponytail. In the second image, her expression is frustrated with her mouth open. In her personnel note it reads, "Dual division environmental engineer. Puguon is celebrated for her sophistication of prior rudimentary A-TF systems. She accredits her work to 24th century Ifugao rice terraces." To the right she is in Ifugao cultural attire, one formal and the far right more casual. Puguon has metallic ports on either side of her breasts and metallic plating on her chest. At the bottom it reads "Human. Born in Julongan, Kiangan, Ifugao, Earth."

also once again thinking about the couple of trek drawings i did of my friends last year

me, ted, ro, and adam in lower decks ensign uniforms.. and keezy as a tiny, gloopy kind of woodland cryptid alien with the signature daisy in their “hair” that hides their eyes and a devilish grin. adam, in a yellow engineer uniform, is casually scanning her with a tricorder. business as usual.

ro, in a yellow security uniform, is sitting on the ground with a big mug of black coffee, all scrunched up like a little coffee gollum.

my red command uniform is rolled up at the sleeves and unbuttoned at the top. i have exhausted dark circles under my eyes but i am still very enthusiastic about grabbing ted’s arm (science, blue shirt) and raising it above their head in victory, championing them to the world as an excellent friend does. they hate this.

i am also accidentally stepping on their foot. they also hate this. ted is putting up absolutely zero fight to stop either activity beyond a small “help” which is unheard/ignored by a distracted ro.

cartoon drawing of me, ted, and zoe as star trek characters. i am distracting ted, who is deep in thought holding a PADD and trying to analyze something glowing in my hand. Meanwhile, I am giving a thumbs up behind ted's back to zoe, who is crouched down and lighting a fuse that leads to a firecracker stuffed into ted's boot. she is grinning like an absolute menace.

Happy #StarTrekDay! Here's to Star Trek: Lower Decks, the show that turned me from a casual Trek viewer into a full on Trekkie. I love vintage things, so I wanted to make a tribute in the style of retro comics, it's the 60th anniversary after all! #StarTrekLowerDecks #lowerdecks #StarTrek

A drawing of the main characters of the show Star Trek: Lower decks in the style of 1960's paper print comics. It looks slightly aged due to the paper texture. From left to right: Lieutenant Junior Grades Beckett Mariner, Brad Boimler, Sam Rutherford, D'Vana Tendi and T'lyn. They have sort of formed a human train walking down the corridor of the USS Cerritos.
Mariner is closest to the camera, she is pulling Boimler by his arm, which is over her shoulder and smiling, looking back at her friends. Right behind her is Boimler, his right arm over Mariner's shoulder as he's being dragged forward by her. He's looking behind his shoulder and grinning widely as he shouts some thing at Rutherford, Tendi and T'Lyn. Next in line iis Rutherford, who's smiling widely and has a hand on Boimler's shoulder. His left arm is linked with Tendi's right, who is linking her other arm with T'Lyn's and dragging her along. Tendi looks cheery and shouts back at Boimler. At the end of the conga line is T'Lyn, who is being dragged along by T'Lyn. Her expression says she's not against it. T'Lyn is holding a PADD in her left hand, suggesting she was mid work when this impromptu human train formed. They are walking past a large window, and through the glass you can see the passing nebula.

You maybe wondering at this point, how many of these do I have in my stash? 🫣 The answer is- too many 🥲. I've been cooking for a while, and was supposed to slowly release these. BUT I HAVE NO IMPULSE CONTROL 😭 Anyway, here's my dumbass Gary Stu XO. #StarTrek #OriginalArt #OriginalCharacter

Artist's OC, the First Officer of USS Celeste, Ires Okai. He is wearing the special uniform with three gold rank pips on his neck. He is blind and has minimal ocular implants. He is holding a PADD in his left hand and a phaser in his right, while he's looking off screen to the left. On the left side of the screen, the short character bio reads:
NAME: Ires Okai
SPECIES: Betazoid
AGE: 33
RANK: Commander
DESIGNATION: First Officer

Comes from a family affiliated with the Starfleet.
Joined the academy a year before when the Dominion war broke out. After his second year, got fast-tracked and assigned to a starship as an ensign when Betazed came under attack in 2374. Climbed the ranks rapidly after the war. Got handpicked by his superiors as the First Officer on USS Celeste.

NEW ADVICE-FROM-LIEBER LIST! I've posted these tips as a thread before, but I figured it's about time I made it available as a single, shareable image.

MISTAKES I'VE MADE THAT YOU CAN AVOID
Don't be like me.
1. Don't trash your own work when complemented. In that context your self-deprecation is insulting someone else's taste! Just say thanks and change the subject. Maybe credit an influence?
2. As far as your readers are concerned, comics are drawn with a printing press or a monitor. Don't fetishize the original art or the tools you make it. Anything that gets the story told the way it needs to be told is the right tool for the job.
3. Don't use one job to audition for another. It's unfair to your collaborators and a betrayal of the reader to get flashy or sexy or explosive if the moment in the story doesn't call for it.
4. The important storytelling choices on a page can be worked out in thumbnails. Gesture, camera angle, framing, broad arrangement of tones-get this stuff right before you worry about anatomy, lighting, drapery, or facial expressions.
5. Some artists can put down a final inkline with no underdrawing, but that's because they're skilled and experienced enough to do all that underdrawing in their head. You probably aren't. Get your underdrawing right and save the masterstrokes for the masters.
6. What you're feeling while you work doesn't matter. What the audience feels when they read it does. You can be happy and still do a great drawing of someone in agony. You should understand what you're depicting. It's not necessary to experience it in real time at the board.
7. Get a fresh eye on your work. You never know when some accidental juxtaposition is going to completely change your intended meaning.
8. Don't let getting things 100% right keep you from getting things done. It's easy to get bogged down in research or prep sketches. Make a schedule at the start of a project so you know how much time you have. Do the best you can with the time allotted and move on. But...
