    The design for that Losing the Peace cover is really nice, but the execution could have been better. The Photoshopping job on Picard, Choudhury, and Worf is pretty rough.

    That’s kind of appropriate. The original cover was weird, too. Had the crashed wreck of the Enterprise in the background.

    At least the German edition got a decent cover.
    For some reason I keep thinking Choudhury was Indian, so I it always surprises me when I see her looking the way she does on the German and Czech covers.

    I guess she looked more East Asian on the covers to me.

    What countries do you think of when you think East Asian? The use of Asian in America is different that what I grew up with in the UK so I don't completely understand the definitions.

    The woman on the cover has the face of an Indian woman, but her skin colour does look oddly pale yellow which might be throwing you off.

    Needs some colour filtering on the characters, they don't match the background and look photoshopped.
    Why's Ezri so mad?:lol:

    The SS Shark from Diane Carey's "Best Destiny"; suggested to post here as I'm like you guys... I get vivid imagery of the scenes and characters and try to translate them.

    Thank you... I'm flattered you like it..

    The plan is to do "stills" of scenes from the book to get back into detailed action drawing for my planned graphic novel.

    - and speaking of.. the super heavy runabout class inspired by the Best Destiny cutter:. If Starfleet is goinf to have a coast guard, they're going to deploy patrol boats as well as heavy frigate...

    I never quite saw the logic of what appear to be seaborne subs against a cube...

    Well, the whole point of BOBW was that a Borg cube was an unprecedented, black-swan threat that the Federation had no defense against at the time. One presumes that the Mars Defense Perimeter ships, regardless of what they were kitbashed from, would have been effective against more normal threats.

    It's like in Doctor Who when UNIT soldiers go up against invading Daleks or Cybermen. They know their bullets are useless, but they shoot anyway, because it's their job and it's all they've got.

    Yes. I tried my hand at flattening it with parts years ago. This phone I’m on won’t let me link…I’d like to see your untainted vision
