Star Trek

I guess Ive been watching too much of the TV series "Face Off". It is one of the few shows I can watch and truly enjoy, with my wife. We enjoy the artistic competition (no back-stabbing bullshit) that produces quality work. I enjoy the transformation an actor or model can undergo with quality and often subtle make-up

I have often heard actors say, that playing the villain was more interesting than playing the hero. So I looked to some of the Star Trek characters in the recent movies and noticed the designs used on the faces to bring out their characters. My sketches are Taylah from Star Trek Beyond (2016) and Nero from Star Trek (2009)

Trew2Art - Stitch

2018.11.04 Long Island Comic Book Expo, Melville, NY

Tremaine "Trew" Worrell has had an eye on the art world since he was 5. He would see his mother sketching little doodles and the amazing transformation that a line could turn a reality

Trew is working freelance and producing amazing art. On his table he had an excellent TMNT sketch he had been working on. I asked what his favorite character was. His response Stitch. I commented that none of his art displayed featured Stitch. Since that was the case, I thought what could I come up with for a Stitch sketch.  Since Stitch is an alien it was feasible that his planet was part of the United Federation of Planets. That in turn meant Stitch could serve on the USS Enterprise, and thus the idea was born.

Drew has Stitch attempting the Vulcan greeting. I was wondering what color uniform Stitch would be wearing,... my guess would be red!
