Description My last painting for this year is in honour of Wilson Cruz' 44th birthday. Albeit little screen time, his Dr. Hugh Culber on Star Trek Discovery really grew on me. So I decided to paint him in the style of one of the promo posters CBS had for the launch of the series.

I had to copy the logo into the painting (which I normally don't like doing), cause when I painted the letters they looked so wibbly wobbly, that they ruined the piece ... me and straight lines don't go together!

Everbody have a great New Year!

Eines deiner besten. Ein schönes Charakterbild, das vor allem durch die Farbgebung und dem schönen "Überflauf" von Portrait zu Sternenhintergrund überzeugt. Auch das Schiff ist sehr schön und der Schriftzug passt auch wunderbar. Ein tolles Poster, schlicht und ergreifend. Beide Daumen hoch.

How come I missed this? It's great. I love blue color palette, and this character is always turns out so beautiful in your drawings!

Thank you  I was astonished myself how well Culber can be painted. There must be something about his features that just hits my mark.
The beauty of it is, that Wilson Cruz saw this painting and shared it on his Instagram and Facebook page - I was so, so, so, so fangirl humbled! Love this man (and so fear for his character ... I'll be biting nails for tomorrow's episode ...)

It's so awesome that actors respond to fans!
I'm not a fan of the character (just not enough information yet), but his smile is kind and really beautiful. I hope tomorrow doctor will not be heartbroken...

Such a lovely tribute to Hugh's character! You have his features down well. 
I like how the speckle of stars extends into his hair so that he becomes part of the universe too.

Thank you, dear Redsailor.
I really love painting him. I'm looking forward to seeing more of him in a couple of days (and I'm still fearing he won't survive season 1 ... mentally preparing for the worst ...)

He's a special beauty. Normally not the kind of man I would fall for (I'm more of a blonde, pale, blue eyed type), but his smile is so captivating and his manners are so kind.

Blonde, pale, blue eyed? You mean Anthony Rapp? Hehe
He has such a radiant smile XD

LOL! The blond, pale, blue eyed was my type since forever. Do you know the band Duran Duran? My first teenage crush was Nick Rhodes - blond, pale, blue eyed.
Anthony Rapp just happened to perfectly match my taste in men

Wow, das ist mit Abstand eines deiner besten Bilder!   Alleine schon der Hintergrund ist sagenhaft schön! Und die Uniform! Man möchte fast darüber streichen, so real sieht der Stoff aus. Ich weiß gar nicht, was ich noch alles einezln betonen soll, weil einfach ALLES großartig ist: Das PADD, die Mimik, der Bart (ja, ich hab's immer mit den Bärten ^^). Kurz: WOW!

Aw, so schön, von Dir zu lesen!  
Da auf TN keine Kommentare mehr von Dir zu meinen posts kommen, dachte ich, ich hätte irgendwas falsch gemacht.

Ich hoffe, Du hast die Gelegenheit ein tolles Neues Jahr zu feiern! Ich fahr jetzt los zu meinem Vater und bin im Januar wieder zurück und online.

Ich war mehr oder weniger nur noch sporadisch auf TN, um nach dem Rechten zu sehen. Hier war im RL einiges an Stress. Muss allmählich alles, was mehr als drei Worte benötigt, nachkommentieren. (Und deine Bilder kann ich nicht mit "Lol, coolio!" oder "Wow, sieht klasse aus!" abspeisen.  ) ^^

Gute Reise, melde dich, wenn du zurück bist. Miss U!
