Klingon change for season 2?
- Thread starter Roald
- Start date
looks like it, but you can't really see it. i wonder whether the ankle the head is shown from in this pic is chosen deliberately to obscure the 'new' klingon for the time being
I don’t agree
It's hard to tell due to the difference in lighting, but it looks like L'Rell's skin tone changed too. Through Season 1 she was either a purplish color or gray, depending upon the lighting or their slow modification of the makeup. She has something resembling a normal human skintone in that shot, although a bit too unnaturally even.
Wow, I hadn't realized how radically they've changed her look. The new version is way, way more traditional.
They already changed her look in Season 1 itself. This is from the finale, notice the smoothed out cheeks and face.
I think Mary said they got it down to 2 hours in Season 1, which is even shorter time then Worf's makeup.
Makeup changes due to addressing actor’s comfort and ability to perform is very common. Plus the makeup artist merely refining the look over time just because they wanted to do so.
Compare Worf’s makeup in “Encounter at Farpoint” to scenes in “All Good Things” that take place at the exact same time. His makeup does not match. They improved it over the course of the series. They made no effort to explain it. It’s not comparing different Klingons who lived at different times. This was the exact same guy at the same moment in time. They changed his look to improve it. it happens.

They need to work on the skin texturing so her face doesn't look so artificial.
And then add in some shading to thin out her face, because the prosthetics along side her natural head shape makes her head way too fat for her body.
Honestly kind of surprised the guys let her on screen with those problems given if anyone put forward a makeup that on Face//Off they would have sent them home..
It looks fine.
Like the new familiar look and that what should have happened from the start.
Hell no those looked horrible. This looks a lot better since it’s actually real
She look more like a Berman-era Klingon, but she also looks puffy faced. Chieffo's natural face isn't puffy, so it must be the makeup.
Why do you think the lack of skin texturing and proper facial shading look fine?
I'm watching a TrekYards (I know, I know) video on L'Rell's new look, according to Samuel (the younger one) he met Mary at the Birmingham con, he says that she said she's trying to get them to use less and less makeup around the face.
He also said she recognized him for some of the youtube videos he's done on Klingons in the past which is a cool thing for him.
I like how much Mary has embraced her role as a Klingon.
