Amazing work on one of my favorite Star Trek movies! (I don't know why many people think it as not one of the good ones)... many memorable and touching scenes, and your art really did it justice. I especially love Spock's appearance

Movies 1 and 5 were bad, so folks often lump #3 in with the other odd-numbered movies as a bad one, even though "The Search For Spock" was actually quite good.Ā It's sheer laziness, I think.
And now to the artist -- that central image is especially well done.Ā Kudos!

Funny you mention this. When my color comp for this piece was sent to Nimoy and Shatner for their contracted input, Shatner refused to sign off, stating, "It doesn't look like me." On the comp, his head/face measured roughly 1". At that size Kirk's image was admittedly more representational as he was not the focal point of the collector plate art. My director asked that I redraw him and resubmit. With about 2 hours of work, the new head was pasted in and the comp was resubmitted. Shat approved.

Really wonderful.
If I may ask, what helped you most when you were first learning to do likenesses? (You do them so incredibly well.) Is there some bit of wisdom you could pass on, or did it just come naturally to you?

Absolutely. Here's the simplest and most often thing I do-- If you're working from photo reference, and let's say you've been working on your piece for a few hours and are at the point of not seeing the likeness emerge, turn the reference along with you artwork upside down, and resume drawing/painting. This perception shift will seem like you're working on another piece of art completely, giving a fresh point of view. Rotate back and forth this way and you'll be amazed at how these new details will pop out at you.
