It's Jame Finney's dress. I think Beverly looks great in the red dress. Nice job, Gary 7. You've chosen great expressions for Troi and Crusher.

Thanks, WillsBabe. I thought that the earlier Troi look had a more "school girl" appearance, so I lifted that from an early season image. It was hard to get a good lighting match... Troi's hair looks so dark then, making it difficult to blend into this image, which had no deep blacks. The real challenge was filling that empty seat. You can probably tell that Kirk wasn't there originally, as his proportion still isn't quite right. I couldn't find a good frontal shot of him sitting that was of the right resolution, so I "assembled" him together from different image pieces. His tunic is from a standing position so it was hard to work it in... I ended up trying to make it look like he's sitting up straight on the edge of his chair.

This babe wouldn’t be smitten by Apollo’s charms. She’s already a goddess.

She’d probably throw a communicator at him!

other than Kirk I think it's a great image

It works really well. I think she suits the clothes.

Diana Rigg as a Mirror Universe babe:

I've touched her!!!

She was the Chancellor of Stirling University and at my graduation I shook her hand.

My one claim to fame.

Excellent work there!

Nice one of Naomi Campbell, Scotpens!

Wow, what a great experience Bry. I'd never thought of Diana Rigg as someone who'd go into school administration.


Here's another take on the Courtmartial lineup. I think this version of Troi works better, contrast wise... just would have liked for her to be looking the other way. Also made some minor body adjustments to Kirk, as well as a new head.

Some cool efforts going on here, i'm particulary liking the Court Martial shop Gary, Gates Macfadden really blends in well

[LeadHead]

Nice work Gary7! On the Court Martial one, I'm a picky pain in the rear end, cause to me, Troi #1 wins, and Kirk #2 wins.

[Gary7]

Thanks for the compliments. The main problem I had with Troi is that Jamie's body is just a bit small... sizing Troi's head to match the body makes her head look too small relative to everyone else. And that gave me an idea... why not just enlarge Jamie's body a little? I think it works better, now. Also put a tricorder in Beverly's open hand.

Personally, I like both versions.

I do too, was just commenting.

Beverly Crusher and Troi both look great in the second version. I just think Kirk's proportions are a bit off. The torso looks like it was taken from a standing pose. How would it look if you copy Spock's torso and legs and flop the image, then match Kirk's jacket color? Also there should be a shadow under Kirk's feet.

Another take on Gary Mitchell, this time in Kirk's green tunic. McCoy seems to approve.

I like it.
