Description
Seeing the first official promo shot of Lt. Stamets from the upcoming Star Trek Discovery I just couldn't resistLt. Stamets and Cadet Tilly on a "harmless" mycological expedition.

Hey there!
I'm from the project comment, and my tag word was "human" c:
I know, you daily do human art, but this stuck out to me, since there's such a contrast between the humans and the freaky mushroom in the background xD
What I really like about this deviation is how you chose the colour scheme, the complimentary red and green really make the mushroom stand out and adds to the creepiness. What I also like about the colours is how you shaded everything by including the colours of the background, which grounds the characters so nicely!
What threw me off a bit was the stark blue of Stamets' and Tilly's uniform. I see that you changed the hue a bot towards purple, but personally, I think it clashes a bit with the red and green, which are already quite strong on their own. Perhaps incorporating some of the green into it could mellow it out a bit, or lowering the saturation a notch.
Now to the characters!
I really like the more sketchy style you used here, especially since it makes them seem more alive somehow, and not as flat. Stamets' expression shows really nicely here, maybe Tilly could use some extra emotion as well? She seems just a little it stiffer than him c:
But that's really just a minor detail!
Overall, I'm in love with how you portray the characters, and your human anatomy is on point! This piece really stands out to me compared to your other pictures, too, since it seems a bit more playful in a sense?
Thanks for reading though this awkwardness, and hope you don't take me too seriously! I can't even draw humans on the same level that you do.
Keep doing your thing and keep up the great work!
ich hätte das auch auf deutsch schreiben können rip
Your next tag word is "shine", please visit Hikatsuke 's gallery and comment on one of her deviations!
Have a great day

Boah, sorry für die Schnarchantwort ... zur Zeit bin ich im Ausnahmezustand. (deutsch war okay, richtig? ... fällt mir so natürlich viel, viel einfacher zu schreiben 
Ich habe mich saumäßig über Deinen konstruktiven Kommentar gefreut! Du hast vollkommen Recht, Tilly sieht noch sehr "leer" aus im Gesicht. Ich kenne den Charakter noch nicht gut genug, um die Züge gescheit zu füllen (und ich schaffe es gerade bei weiblichen Gesichtern regelmäßig, sie "spontan" um Jahre altern zu lassen, wenn ich Linien zeichne *pfeif*.) Daran werde ich auf jeden Fall noch arbeiten.
Ganz besonders gut gefallen hat mir Dein Hinweis wegen der Uniformfarben. Da hast Du absolut recht, das hätte viel harmonischer gewirkt, wenn ich da noch Töne aus der Umgebung hätte einfließen lassen. Das war ein toller Hinweis, den ich für das nächste Mal auf jeden Fall im Kopf behalten werde.
Vielen, vielen Dank für Deine Mühe

Wie schön dass du etwas mit meinem comment anfangen konntest!
Manchmal schweife ich echt ab xD
Gesichts ausdrücke hinzukriegen, ohne dass die Falten die Person altern ist meistens echt fast unmöglich.
Ich werde auf jedem Fall deine art noch weiter verfolgen!

Hahaha, this made me smile when I first saw it ^^ The oblivious expression of the two humans with the seriously evil looking Shroom in the background is so funny! I also like the contrast between the realistic characters, and the more cartoonish style of the Mushroom. The contrast between the saturated dark blue of the suits and the desaturated green of the shroom emphasizes the difference between them, and the red background conveys as sense of danger, as well as adding another contrasting color. Very nice work!

This was a first in trying to draw a cartoonish character. It was the first time, my sons got interested in one of my pieces

Wow, you did very well for a first time!

Hab's dir auf TN in Kurzform schon geschrieben: Großartig! Was ich aber immer noch nicht weiß: Wie kamst du auf die Szene? Oha, versteckt sich da etwa ein Plottribble hinter dem Pilz?! (Abseits von DS9 ... ????) Ich freu mich noch mehr auf die Serie, weil die dir mit Sicherheit ne Menge toller Vorlagen zum Malern liefert.

Als die ersten Photos des Mycologen kamen, wollte ich ihn dann in einer Pilzlandschaft malen. Aber es passte irgendwie nie eine Referenz. Ein angefangenes Bild, wo er sich zu einem Pilz hinunterbeugt, liegt schon länger hier, aber irgendwas an der Nackenhaltung sieht komplett unnatürlich aus und ich komm nicht drauf, woran das liegt, was mich kirre macht.
Dann kam letzte Woche dieses Promophoto mit dem Kommunikator und dem leicht verwirrten Blick raus und - Zack! - der Pilz bekam in meiner Vorstellung ein Gesicht, das Bild mutierte zum Comic-Cover und da war er, Florian, der fleischfressende Fliegenpilz, wie Damon ihn getauft hat.
Plottribble ist da keiner, es lag einzig an Anthony Rapps herrlichem "Hä?" Ausdruck.
Ich würde auch gerne mal Lt. Ash Tyler für Dich zeichnen, aber da ich bisher beides an Promophotos gesehen habe (mit und ohne Bart) bin ich mir immer noch nicht sicher, wie er im Endeffekt aussehen wird.

MIT Bart!!!!!!
Florian gefällt mir! Ein trefflicher Name. ^^

Ich hoffe auch, dass er mit Bart zu sehen sein wird. Die Photos ohne wirkten ein wenig ... komisch

I'm glad you like it. I couldn't resist

Lol!
Können wir eine Fan-Kampagne aus dem Boden stampfen, die Florian den fleischfressenden Fliegenpilz zum Hauptcharakter der neuen Serie macht? Das würde ich gucken!
Ich finde den Pilz SO stark gemacht! Du hast ihm mit einer herrlichen Mischung aus Cartoon und Naturalismus richtig Charakter verpasst - ich könnte mir ein entsprechendes Wesen tatsächlich als animatronische Puppe bei einer guten alten Star Trek-Produktion vorstellen (hat ein bisschen was von Bernd das Brot). Einfach toll! Klasse gezeichnet, schattiert und schön koloriert. So was verrücktes/verspieltes würde ich gerne öfter aus deiner Feder sehen.
Der Rest gefällt mir aber auch, obwohl echt alles neben dem Pilz verblasst

Seems pretty intriguing ^^

Star Trek - Discovery starts today in two weeks on Netflix (I have yet to subscribe to it since I haven't got Netflix)
The drawing has nothing to do with the series. It was just the fact that the blond Lieutenant is a mycologist (which in itself I find intriguing, since so far we only had "science officers" - as if one person would be able to cope with every field in natural sciences) and that his first official promoshot had him looking so confused with his communicator. So I HAD to draw this

Argh, well since I've just subscibed to a illimited access card to movie theaters for this year (yay), I won't afford Netflix too
I'm such a mushroom lover myself XD Both for ascientific interest (mushrooms are such fascinating living beings, yes they are!!!) to recognise them, collect them and eat them XD

I'm glad you like it!
I read about your shoulder still giving you so much trouble! I'm so sorry to hear/read that. I keep my fingers crossed, that some medication will help and that you can use your arm again in not too long a time. My thoughts are with your well being, dear Yagellonica!

Gosh that mushroom is both equal parts humorous and terrifying.
Great piece! I sort of reminds of TOS with the colors and atmosphere. Ooo That was a funny promo photo when it came out. I was tempted to draw it myself but I'm glad you beat me to it so that I could see it.
As for liking mushrooms as a food you have not tasted real mushrooms until you have stuffed mushrooms with scrambled eggs. Delicious. Those sliced canned ones are awful. Guh.
The metallic parts on their uniforms came out really well and I like how you drew their features.

At first I wanted to colour it lightly, cause the sketch didn't look too great without colour. But then I couldn't figure out which brushes to use for the kind of colour effect I had in mind, so I ended up with my oil brushes and saturated colours.
The promoshot is gold isn't it? With the others looking stern into the camera, holding weapons or just seeming very determined, Stamets came along with his "huh? Who did send me this photo to my communicator?" look -and I instantly fell in love! If this character doesn't live up to my expectations I will silently cry into my pillow
And for mushrooms ... ever tried them breaded and fried? I could die for this! Just so delicious! (I am a mushroom lover, I have to admit ... unfortunately both of my sons go "urgl, argl, baaaah!" when I serve them.

Yeah, give me more of a reason to hate mushrooms. Anyway, great drawing!

Ooops sorry ... I kind of remember that you told me of your fungi phobia before. So Stamets being a mycologist will definetely not be the character for you
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I don't remember mentioning a fungi phobia and I don't really have one. I just don't like mushrooms as food. Though, I'll have to admit, I watch a preview on YouTube for a sci-fi series premiering on Fox by Seth McFarlane that I mistook for Discovery at first. For a minute, I actually thought this was a drawing for that series. Second time I've gotten the shows confused.

Hmm ... who else was it then? Somebody told me about fungi phobia, which I found quite fascinating since I mentioned it in ff of mine as a joke and I had no idea it really existed.
Not liking mushrooms as food, of course, is much more harmless
I've only seen one trailer for this other show. And I thought it was a fan persiflage, til somebody told me that it's meant for real.

I wouldn't know.
I only have streaming, so I'll be missing that show.
