The one and only <3

I saw the new movie recently... Quinto was amazing, but Nimoy will always be Spock, as far as I'm concerned. I know alot of people have been complaining about the huge timeline changes the movie made, but TBH I'm embracing it. Think: now there's an excuse for a million new movies/shows, plus a universe containing 2 Spocks instead of one! If there's a downside to this, I'm failing to see it.

The only minor letdown for me was the lack of Shatner, even in the form of a cameo

(did anyone else think Scotty deserved triple the screen-time he got?!)

FULLVIEW IT (I dont own Trek or any of that crap, blah blah)

I think it is good that a timeline change has been made. Now you can separate clearly between original Star Trek and new Star Trek with original characters. Thus the evolution of characters and all events which will happen need not to be the same and can be changed to meet requirements for newer generations (in real life). I belief OST had had an huge impact of peoples life (and sometimes still has). Therefore, this could happen to be performed by this spin off too while the original characters events and what so ever remain untouched.

BTW Fascinating

I have linked your work in my journal as reference for a thought of mine: [link]

I *love* the blue lighting you used in the right side of this, it totally makes the picture for me. Especially the nose. I don't really know why, but that nose is just amazing.

Nimoy will always be Spock for me, too. Though I think I can grow into Zach Quinto's portrayal...eventually! I loved the movie but I don't think it had much depth. Like a cartoon, it treated the subject matter too lightly. Simon Pegg was a marvel...but so was much of the cast. Your portrait is great. Love the reflections from the shirt on the face. Smashing.

ooOoooOOOoooh!

Gorgeous, got chills full viewing it.
So, so very Nimoy. Yesss, Nimoy will always be Spock. xD
And the points you made about the new movie are ones we share!
I'm sorry, I fail to see the downside to the awesomeness that was Star Trek 11.
Jesus... have I really watched 11 Star Trek films?

Anyway back to the piece, the lighting & shading are beautiful... even the insignia looks great.
Very lovely! <3

Oh....it is so beautiful, I love...everything about it.

The. Movie. Was. AWESOME. I know some people were mad about the huge change; my friend even said he didn't want it to be about TOS (gasp! you traitor). The end made me so happy...they can do ANYTHING with this now. Perhaps a gazillion movies? Or another series? Ohh, let there be another series Star Trek must make another comeback on Television!

Oh, and for the record... TREK > WARS! Sar Trek is infinately better than Star Wars.

Again, GREAT work.

Thank you! And I agree 100%... its not like the eradicated the original series so i don't understand why everyone is so touchy. As if trek hasn't had a MILLION episodes where they go back in time and/or exist in separate realities. This is just one of a million branching-off storylines. And I'm thrilled that they are gonna make more trek in my lifetime

~Carmabellagal Jul 12, 2009

No problem!

People are touchy I think because they're not sure if it's canon, you know...and I think they didn't like the new Enterprise. But it was just SO amazing....I, like you, am thrilled there's gonna be more Trek during my lifetime, and I'm hoping afterwards, too! I'm so excited, I'm practically driving everyone up the wall with my enthusiasm.

I totally agree with you on what you said about Nimoy always being the 'real' Spock, although I thought Quinto was as close as they could come without cloning Nimoy.
Oh, and love your painting, you did him proud on this!

~TheGreatUndefeatable Jun 15, 2009 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

WHOA, I just saw your Spock WIP painting yesterday when I was browsing through Trek art, and then just today

mentioned your gallery, so I dropped by...
Weird!!
But it's a REALLY great painting I think, I really like the colors, and the mouth is DEAD-on.
