Did you use a photo reference for him? The pose seems familiar...
OK, gotta ask: Who's your favourite Cardassian?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I used a reference, but not of any Cardassian - just made a friend of mine sit at a chair like that and took a photo. Then changed him into a Cardassian.
My favourite is Garak. I absolutely love him: the snark, the slyness, the capacity for deceit and betrayal - and yet, he cared so much... Just love him.
After Garak, I think I love Dukat and Damar pretty much equally.
And yours?

Really? Wow. Can I have his number?
Garak with Dukat a close second.
I agree, Garak is just too awesome for words! I love the subtext to everything he says, you know, like he's saying one thing and meaning another 
Dukat, also awesome, and honestly more my type (physically) than Garak. Watching him interact with Kira is just amazing. I wanna be Kira OTL I didn't like him after he went all nuts and F-you-everyone-I'm-going-to-betray-all-of-you. But I feel for the dude, really, and Mr. Alaimo is amazing.
Damar and Madred tie for third

haha!!
Yeah, Garak sure knew how to be funny. He truly is awesome!
I agree, Dukat's more my type physically too. I mean, yum. 
He annoyed me when he went nuts, but I couldn't really blame him for his actions, he was insane, and he still made the most awesome villain. I was spitting mad at the writers for doing this to him though. Cried my eyes out when he was crying over Ziyal's body.
Damar... I've a love/hate relationship with him. Liked him a lot till he killed Ziyal - then hated him for killing Ziyal and rolling over for the Dominion - then loved him when he found his backbone. And he was handsome, too.
Madred is an awesome villain yes. Like you say, you love to hate him!

The Cardassians are the only reason I watch(ed) DS9... Well, Odo is amazing too
Sisko annoys me though
And indeed, Damar does have a certain... je ne sais quoi to him, huh?
I'm also writing a Trek story

Odo was awesome. And Dax. Jadzia though - Ezri was... annoying.
Don't know about Sisko - I liked him at points, disliked him at others. meh.
Our story wasn't anything much - we just wrote it for ourselves. It was a murder mystery that happened while a Cardassian freighter was docked at a Federation starbase; a Vulcan engineer and a junior glinn from the freighter have to work together to uncover it.
Didn't have much of a plot, but it was fun collaborating with my friend to write it.
Can I ask what your story is about? Or are you going to post it to read?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That's true. I really liked Jadzia Dax, not Ezri. Jadzia was amazing
So who did it? Or do I have to read to find out?
My story's in developmental stages, basically set in the future (to justify new uniforms, hehe) where Cardassia has rebuilt and returned to its pre-Dominion state. With changes, but you know. Basically. The Federation and the Cardassian Union are trying to negotiate a peace treaty, which is met with opposition from both sides, but they're trying. As a gesture of goodwill, a glinn from the Gavran trades places temporarily with the First Officer of the Orion... and then the excrement hits the rotating air circulation device. You have murders aboard the Orion, rascists on both ships, mechanical failures, plots, schemes, etc., etc., that end in both ships being knocked out of commission and thrown into either another galaxy or an alternate universe. I'm not sure which I want to do

oh, turns out the Gul of the freighter was mixing with the Romulans, and they killed him after they were done playing him. 
Your story sounds *very* interesting!! Will you please note me or smth when you post it? I'd very much like to read it!!
(godsdamn it, I *miss* my Cardassians... So much so that I was ridiculously happy Uhura asked for a Cardassian Sunrise in nuStarTrek, lol)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hm, now that sounds interesting! Romulans V. Cardassians
My story will probably be more like episodes though 
And I know! ^^ I *squeed* when Uhura asked for the CS... to the confusion of my parents and sister. I then had to explain who the Cardassians were (I think I said deviously clever and amoral grey lizard-people from space...) and earned more funny looks all round XD She should have asked for kanar though, if you ask me
Did you notice the tribble in the movie? O.o
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I don't think *all* Romulans are that devious (I mean, it's apparently a race trait, but I'm sure there's perfectly non-devious Romulans. Just not many?
Oh my story isn't fit to be read by anyone else, trust me - I'm telling you, it's full of plot-holes and stuff, we only wrote it for fun.
I'd really love to read yours though, if you'd like!!
Maybe kanar wasn't widely available at Kirk's point in history? I mean, we don't know exactly when the Federation made First Contant with Cardassia, but at that point, it can't have been for very long. And considering that kanar wasn't very widely available even in the time of DS9...
I didn't notice the tribble until I was told there was a tribble - and even then I had to pause my dvd at Scotty's first scene and look for it to see where it was.

Like I said, I've barely started
The Cardassians first appeared in TNG, and I think they were created to give Picard a villain on his own level, but I think First Contact was before that. I don't know the date.
I didn't honestly click with me that Admiral Archer was Jonathan Archer >.< Even the beagle thing! I think it's because, although it's much lower-tech and stuff, I always think ENT is set after TOS. Shame on me! O.o

Never saw the very first Cardassian episodes (though I know Alaimo plays in them, 'cause in the DS9 books they explained the likeness between his two characters as them being cousins
lol, it's because, even though it was first chronologically, ENT looked higher-tech than TOS. It was the flatscreens, methinks. But now with the new Star Trek all the tech has been updated, it's easier to think of it being 80 yrs before (or however much it was).
I really liked ENT (despite all its flaws), so hearing Archer's dog mentioned made me laugh.

Mm, Gul Macet was the first Cardassian to appear on-screen. Lame armour, yellow skin, a beard of sorts and a very odd headset that he seemed to wear only on his ship. I'm VERY glad they updated the appearance ^^ NuCardies are SMEXY
