Description This was from a old Star Trek episode where some crew members were transported to a mirror universe where their counterparts were bad guys, and Spock had a beard. I always thought Spock looked sinister sporting the goatee. Anyway, pastels on velour again. I have been studying Basil Gogos work and trying to incorporate more color in the flesh tones like some greens and blues. This was done quick just a fun little thing....

I was incredibly confused after stumbling in halfway through that episode.

Wonderful job, by the way. It's so vivid, I can hardly believe it was done with pastels!

Considering that the character of Spock is meant to be devoid of emotion, Nimoy was able to give the character LIFE - Chris, with your use of colour you've done the same with your subject here! Close to being the best portrait of Spock - any universe - I've seen!

Thank you very much, great compliment and I appreciate it. On the Trek united site, would they be interested in buying Trek sketch cards like this Spock? Sorry, the businessman in me always see's commission possibilities.

The forum has a ruling against advertising but if you had them on DevArt I'd certainly push it on the forum. Do you do commissions? I need a cover for my Fanzine Acrux [link] I'd do an interview and send you a free issue as well! How about Empress Hoshi?

Beautiful. His expression is very Spock. And Mirror Mirror is an awesome episode. Spock + goatee =

The green tinge to his skin and the blue above his eyes are very nice touches. The colouring is, generally, beautiful.

Spectacular work!

This is awe-inspiring - the colours are so rich, and it's extremely realistic - I love it, especially the use of colour in Mirror!Spock's hair - I like that you didn't just go for black - it's lovely, and this has so much character!

Jesus, this Mirror Spock is a thug. He looks like if he took off his dress jacket (I wish!) he'd have some Russian prison tats or something all over him. mmmmm. Dark, and more than a little sexy!

Oh my God.
Everytime I read that episode title, I burst out into laughter!
Because...y'know, who would think that any Spock would have a beard.
And now, I see hommage to that particular episode!
Very nicely done.
The colours are nicely chosen. I like how you've incorporated the greens and blues into his flesh tone...as well...he has green blood running through his body!

Hildwyn [2009-08-23 04:07:01 +0000 UTC]

This is amazing! You did a great job incorporating those additional colours into the skin.

The mirror universe seems destined to be defined by Spock's beard.

I like how the beard actually looks real Excellent job, I really liked that alternate universe Spock...my brother and I speculate whether or not he decided to listen to Kirk or not about revolution...

I am really digging the experimental colors you put into the flesh tones, it does wonders for the piece itself!
Spock's beard is ultimately sinister. O_O

"I always thought Spock looked sinister sporting the goatee"

I read that as "I always thought Spock looked sinister sporting the GOATSE."

Silly me.

I don't know if you know this: but "Spock's Beard" is the name of a progressive rock band out of California. Their style has been compared to a blend of Dream Theater, Rush & Genesis. Saw them in concert opening up for DT. Check 'em out here [link]

You can post drawings free last I checked, it's just if you do not want to see ad's and want additional features it costs some... not too bad.

They have a parody of this in Dinosaur comics -- Utahraptor is transported into an alternate universe where everyone is evil and they all have goatees!

Dredsina In reply to Dredsina [2008-11-13 02:17:05 +0000 UTC]

Oh, and it literally was a mirror universe in the comic, because Dinosaur Comics have the same images but with different text for every strip, so in the alternate universe, the usual strip was flipped around.
