You are very talented.

Nerys Ghemor · November 4 2009, 03:48 PM

Thank you for your kind words!

Sorry for not commenting on this earlier

The way that you have captured the essence of AU Skrain Dukat and his genuine love for his daughter is most impressive. I could not imagine 'our' Gul Dukat sporting such a warm smile and relaxed posture

To be honest your Skrain Dukat is one of my favorite Cardassians (along with Gul Treben Berat of course

)

Fantastic artwork NG!

Indeed...it's always SO weird when you find a screencap of "our" Dukat when he relaxes for just a second (and they ARE out there)--because it's almost like a glimpse of this other person who, in the canon universe, never came to be thanks to the canon Dukat's horrible choices.

I'm glad you liked them!

Really nice texturing on the finished product. I love both their expressions. The title fits perfectly!

Thanks!

I really enjoyed drawing them, and I'm glad to know the shading worked!

VERY nice work you did.

Gul Dukat in "our" universe actually had quite a few moments where he was at ease/happy, it's just that most of the time, whenever he did smile, he made the mistake of doing it in front of Major Kira. But there were quite a few instances where we saw Dukat as "himself".

Nerys Ghemor · November 5 2009, 08:51 PM

He'd get the right expression, and I'd get the feeling he was ALMOST what he could've been--but the problem was it was his sick obsession with Kira that was at work (or Kira's mom). As for Ziyal...there was a whole thread debating in the DS9 section whether or not his love for her was genuine or not.

(Whereas in THIS Dukat's case, there's no doubt.)

....Or is there?

Nahh, I'm just kidding.

...Or am I?

Nerys Ghemor · November 5 2009, 11:32 PM

Well, as his author, I know his heart...and believe me--there's a world of difference between his feelings and those of the canon Dukat. This version is a LOT more "what you see is what you get."
