For something different. Decided to take another break from the 3d stuff. Started fooling about with something new and seeing Picard in the one doodle I sorta went to trek stuff again.
It is something new to me and all ref free atm but I think I should go find something akin to this to use as refs since my color sense sucks badly. I recently seen a few trek comics where they were not the typical xerox type American art drawings. They looked more like game concept work. It sorta inspired me to do this not to mention looking at a more free style where men's caricature faces are a bit more fun to do. I had a hoot with the romulan laughing most of the time. Anyone familiar with 4chan will probably see it. It was unintentional but it sort of "leaked" in I guess. Idea was "smarmy politician" or what a used romulan shuttle salesman would look like.
As for the work itself I am attempting this with just the paint brush and forcing myself to not use detail sizes so 24~60point leaning to the latter. I guess it is just repetition to get better at this. I probably should look for some faces to reference too and distort the features. I spent about 5~10 for the fiorst 2 and a bit more on the romulan.
Thanks, it is a weak point of mine not going illustration style with lines and all that. It is a bit hard to keep loose though and not zoom into detail things up. I really gotta work on color use under painting the variations of skintone to get that look. Too used to anime and illustration where I would just flat tone things.

A not so creative Andorian. Got a bit to plain with this. Wanted to add a bit of that egghead shape from TMP, oh well. Might have another go at them later on.
Cool. I did some character concepts but outside of the Aquatics (which COULD be rendered in CGI) I didn't post any. I like the exaggerated look in yours, I could see them being animated.

a Spoon. Attempting to eliminate any human face with bits on by altering things and hinting at recognizable features. Dunno.
Still think the romulan was the best so far.
Atleast, that's the feeling I get from the smug on the Cardassian's face
That Cardassian reminds me a bit of Moff Tarkin on his stance, looking all menacing and superior.
