Description If you're a Star Trek fan or simply a scifi fan and you haven't seen the new Star Trek movie yet, just go... You will be blown away. Seriously.

This is young Captain James Tiberius Kirk, played by Chris Pine. You will probably see more of him in my gallery eventually because I find him absolutely delicious...

Made in Photoshop with a digital tablet.

how do you get proportions right? do you use a grid or you paint over photo or you paint it 3 days?

I do trace the portrait roughly before I start to paint. It may sound like cheating but most digital painting tutorials recommend doing it that way. It saves a lot of time and grief...

no it's not cheating...you can trace the image, but coloring is what gives it realistic filling and coloring is hard job to do, especially dealing with shadows and highlights...and it's such a relief you told me this 'cause sometimes I thinks that I'll never be good

Heheh... It's not even my most realistic looking one so far as I've skimmed over a few details. I've done another one of Chris Pine which I will be submitting towards the end of this month and that one almost look like a photograph.

You're very welcome and thank you as well!

I'd say you're pretty close to becoming one, then... . Star Trek truly is a wonderful, fascinating universe and it's what made me fall in love with sci-fi when I was just a kid.

Just saw this movie this weekend. PURE AWESOMENESS, even for a non-trekkie.

And I agree. Chris Pine is super-fine.

PURE AWESOMENESS, even for a non-trekkie.

That's what's the most amazing about it, IMO. Star Trek has finally managed to capture the non-Trekkies' imagination and interest and as a long-time Trekkie, it makes me very, very happy.

And thank you very much for the on that piece!

Alpha-Geek In reply to AlienFodder [2009-05-21 20:16:43 +0000 UTC]

I agree. Reintroducing the entire Star Trek francise makes a difference, too; it makes it a bit more relevant to today. Younger non-Trekkies, such as myself, don't feel as if they'll never catch up with it. It's like a new generation.


You're welcome for the ! It's well deserved.
