Kira Nerys cover for DS9: Fool's Gold #2

[mmtz]

Artist David Messina uploaded cover art for DS9: Fool's Gold #2 coming Feb 2010 to his blog. It's a terrific cover featuring a portrait of Kira Nerys. Coloring was done by Giovanna Niro.

If you scroll down. On the right there is a 'work in progress' cover for Star Trek XI #1.

I have to say, the cover of Kira looks terrible. Doesn't even look like her.

I agree. She looks like a bald, bearded dead guy.

 

[Jono]

She does look very pale, which is made worse by her black hair (wrong colour) in that image but I don't think it's a bad likeness for her.

Yeah, I've certainly seen worse likenesses on tie-in comics.

Messina's one of my favorite of the new artists, but it just doesn't look like her.

Its an okay likeness, I thought. I'd have preferred to her to look as she did in DS9 season seven, but thats not when the new comics are set.

I agree. The figure and general build are right, but the face is completely ruined. The hair is too "angular," and the features themselves...I can't exactly put my finger on what's wrong, but it definitely doesn't look right at all.
