Description The first portrait of Constable Odo from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine that I've attempted in quite some time...capturing anything like how I wanted him to look was incredibly challenging.
But I couldn't fail...
An attempt to explain it would doubtless fall short of conveying what he means to me, so I'll just simply say that Odo is my favorite character in all of Trek-dom, and was since the very beginning of DS9 - which no doubt had a heavy hand in making DS9 my favorite series (Max suggests that this is blasphemy against The Next Generation).
* note: This is Odo as he was in the episode "Necessary Evil" - hence the black outfit instead of his usual Bajoran security uniform

Ink & coloured pencils...

Love this!!I'm tied between Data and Odo I can't pick. Very good though, it looks a lot like him!

Very nice likeness

Let's see... McCoy is my favorite from all Trekdom but Odo is a close second.

I can't say DS9 is my favourite series, but you captured his uniqueness very well. His mood, his eyes and the kind of aura of authority that surrounds him. Well done!

<3 Sweet Odo. You captured him well, I think. I may try my hand at him in the future, but I have a few other portrait projects to do before then.

I'll look forward to it.
I might make another attempt at him myself...those bloody eyes of his are a lot harder than I remember them being *L*

Yea, I can imagine! His eyes are covered in such a heavy, yet full of emotional pain, type of brow. I'm doing a portrait of Betty White at the moment, but maybe I'll do Odo after. Either that or I'll do that Bashir/Garak pic I've been thinking about. I'll certainly try my hand at Odo. I think it would be quite interesting.

I'd like to see you draw Odo again. I think you put so much of HIM into the work that it comes out perfect.

Mwaaaaaa, Bashir/Garak. They were so shagging.
I may indeed, if I can resist the urge to draw more pictures of Justin Hawkins. Eh heh. ;

I'm glad you agree about Bashir and Garak. *lol* As much as I'd love to see Garak with Ziyal, I know he'd be happier with his pretty doctor.

I've often wondered if anybody on the writing staff noticed that in "Destiny," the one Cardassian woman told O'Brien that cardassians flirt by getting into constant arguments, and then all through the story arc where all the senior staff was stuck on the Defiant trying to retake the station, Garak did nothing but insult and try to get a rise out of Julian! *L* The suave little darling was flirting! ^_^

Oooooo!! I don't totally remember that! I'll have to find that eppy on my tapes and have a look!! *LOL* Flirty cardassian... *melts*

Drew the base idea for the pic of them that I have in mind. May start drawing it today, despite my other projects.

Yea, I'm the same way. I'm glad I don't know when it's on anymore (besides at 3, when I'm not always home).

Whenever Spike network runs a marathon I'm a sucker.

I don't watch star trek, so i don't know the character, but it's a good drawing - i like how you've made the eyes look deep-set

*grins* Thank you.
I didn't know you watched DS9 (though I did know you used to have a crush on Data ^_~)

Yeah, I've watched a bit of every Star Trek (except Enterprise, because it's not on here as far as I can see), but TNG is still my favourite... DS9 didn't have enough action for me, but I think Odo was my favourite character (because he reminded me of Data a bit). Man, I'm such a geek!
