So I decided to go back and revisit the subject of an old painting that I wasn't happy with any more. At the time that I painted the original [link] , it was one of my favorite pieces, but since then... whenever I look at it I see something I really don't like. A lot of somethings. Particularly his outfit.
I'm much, much happier with this new version of the character. I imagine that in a few years I'll want to do it over again, but in the meantime I'm pleased.
Yes, yes that was my first thought too! I know it *isn't* Spock, but I couldn't NOT see it. maybe one of those weird planets where they had to dress up like that time with the gangsters or Nazis. XD
This is great, very dark and mysterious. All the branches in the background and the change of lighting really add to the piece, and I love his face and costume.
