"Shaping a Cardassian" - characters

[Gul Re'jal]

It's Laran Demok

He popped up in the story for a second to say 'hi' to Brenok, but I wanted to draw him for quite some time now, especially since I know exactly who would play him. Marc Worden.

 

[Nerys Ghemor]

Very nice. He seems to have come up as the kind of man I think AU Dukat would be praying for him to be.

(To see how THAT is possible, anyone interested should read the story we wrote together, The Lightless Ends of the World. )

 

[Gul Re'jal]

Very nice. He seems to have come up as the kind of man I think AU Dukat would be praying for him to be.

I'd like to think so.
He's still very young, in his early twenties... I just realised something. He's studying law, just like AU Dukat. He's going to be an archon, but it's still close

I know for sure that he is going to appear in the new story, so there's going to be more of him and everyone would have a chance to "meet him in person"

 

[Nerys Ghemor]

Wonderful! And I didn't even think of the law connection, but no doubt AU Dukat would be tickled grey ( ) by that.

 

[Gul Re'jal]

This time not a drawing, but something a little bit different.

Here's Tolkar Saratt, a painter from Lakarian City

I know the light and shadows don't match, but I don't know how to fix them not ruining whole picture.

 

[Nerys Ghemor]

He's wonderful.

And I say it again...he gets another BIG HUG from me!!!

 

[Gul Re'jal]

Saratt once again

 

[TerokNor]

You know normally I don´t like dark eyes that much in a male, but this eyes are really beautiful!

[Nerys Ghemor]

I agree about the dark eyes. His are so big and expressive.

 

[Thor Damar]

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't that the face of a Gul that we see in wrongs darker than day or night?

 

[Gul Re'jal]

Close He was a guard only, though.

To add fun to it, I discovered yesterday that this guy played....drums....Thot Gor

 

[Nerys Ghemor]

I had to do it!!! I have actually attempted my first (partial) painting!

And it was the character of Tolkar Saratt that encouraged me to try it.

Please forgive me my imperfections and mistakes. I have never painted before--at least, not in any form I wasn't completely embarrassed of--and this is the first time I have ever dared to post such a thing publicly.

The face and hands were done in Prismacolor (non-water-soluble) pencils. The black part of the jacket was done with Derwent Inktense watercolor pencils, which I did use to paint with, the grey part was done with Derwent Graphitint watercolor pencils, and the clasp/amulet was done with Derwent Metallic pencils.

As to the significance of the drawing, and outfit...I may share that at another time, but the "AU" story that goes with it is not something I am ready yet to share publicly.

Anyway...Tolkar Saratt!

 

[Gul Re'jal]

Tolkar Saratt would be proud of your first attempt

I can even clearly see that the material that was used to make the boots is something completely different than the fabric used for his trousers.

And I am still impressed how well you can draw hands. I think I'll never learn to do that properly

@ Nerys: Great work! That looks awesome!

Saratt does indeed have BIG eyes... and quite dark, as well... almost an almond-shaped and slanted quality to them...

AWESOME!!! I know he's a fictional character, but I am SO glad that he would be!!

I am particularly happy to know that the material looks different. I had ideas from pencil drawing, but I wasn't sure it would translate into painting.

As for hands...let's just say you have NO idea how many failed attempts I made before I got it right. I am always HORRIBLE at them. And feet. That's a reason I love boots. Getting them pointed the right way can be hard sometimes, but at least I don't have to try to draw toes!

Thanks!

And about Saratt's eyes, yes, they definitely have a lovely almond shape...which just makes them all the more hypnotizing and beautiful, from a woman's perspective.

I guess an Orvani would put you in a coma, lol.

 

[Nerys Ghemor]

LOL, well...I dunno. Their eyes probably don't blink, or change to fit their moods, the way adorable Tolkar Saratt's do. That's the other part of making eyes pretty.

 

[TerokNor]

Beautiful Nerys! I especially like this smallish coat thing with the underlying grey cloth. That looks great and so real 3D like.

Thanks. I'm really glad you liked that.

I know you're very busy right now, but whenever you happen to finish with those things, shoot me a PM and I'll explain to you what is really happening in that drawing.
