I think I imagined a backstory for this character while photoshopping: Commander Sarah Kaplan, executive officer of the Constellation NV-02. Unfortunately, I've forgotten who the actor is. I think she is or was recently part of the cast of a police drama. Does anyone recognize her?
Thanks! Most of those were requests people made. Otherwise for Klingons I look for dudes with goatees. I don't believe I've tried a female Klingon yet. Romulans are more a matter of just picking someone out who "strikes me" right. There's really no system. I guess I look for "angular" facial features. For Star Fleet officers, I tend to pick actors who seem like they'd do well playing a character who "fits" in Star Trek, and then look for an image that matches up with a Star Trek image that I can use, preferably a picture where the actor's hairstyle doesn't look too glaringly "modern" and the actor is clean shaven.
I believe she also appeared in a Season 2(?) ENT episode with Rene Auberjonois. It looks like someone else has spotted Rabbittooth's "Pulp Trek" manip above. http://roflrazzi.com/2010/09/08/celebrity-pictures-pulp-fiction-star-trek/
^ She did appear in Season 1's "Oasis" She looked so different between Enterprise and 24, if I hadn't read that she was on both I might never had made the connection myself
Hey, everyone! This thread is definitely one of the funniest on the entire board. Besides being funny, it has some AMAZING work that has actually inspired me to try my own hand at some Trek artwork. I would like to share with you my very first attempt. Here it is:
I'm pretty sure someone else did a similar 'shop of this particular image previously in this thread. I know this because I saved it and cropped it to make my avatar.
It was me: Funny thing is, when I saw it on a different computer I noticed the skin tone was a bit miss-matched on the face-swap but looks fine on my crappy old monitor. I really need a new monitor....
Hell, any decent brand of Scotch’ll do that! Gotta love Shatner with a Jewfro. And I never noticed it in “The Way to Eden,” but in the original pic, is that half a hard-boiled egg he's wearing as jewelry?
