Description As suggested by a user and after some thought, I feel the need to add:



I invest a lot of time and effort into my art and would like to be credited. I fear the possibility of art theft but I want people to be able to see the picture in fair quality. I simply respectfully urge that you ask me if you can use it, and I'll probably say yes simply asking that you credit me. I will flip out if I see someone trying to sell any of my art. This stuff is free for a reason. ;/

=================================

This is from the meme... I just felt like I needed to FINISH something, so I colored this. It'll be simpler colors in the meme itself... actually maybe not. I can't be too sure if I'll go crazy with the colors in the meme. I might.

People freakin' think McCoy's nickname is because he only had his "bones" left after a losing a brutal custody battle with his wife, but that is a stupid misconception created by the 2009 movie. McCoy's nickname "Bones" is short for "Sawbones," an affectionate nickname Kirk gave to the surgeon. The new movie takes the nickname and makes is a representation of pain, but that's not what it was supposed to be.

[/Fanboy Rant]

I wanted to draw a full body, showing his foot all the way, but it would be a looong picture. I might still go back and add the rest of his leg. Edit: Added the other leg. And some more background.

Bones McCoy: the ORIGINAL snarky TV doctor. So take that, House.

This is a great representation of McCoy. You captured his personality very well. Also, his hair looks cool.

Great pic,darlin' Dan!!
If I remember right, the term 'sawbones' was the nickname given to the doctors on early sailing ships,who used amputation as a cure for cases of injuries that resulted in gangrene, no antibiotics back then...Also used in the Civil War era,for the same reason,although by then they only amputated in really serious cases...Now, it's a term of affection for any sort of doctor, but usually a surgeon gets this,for the obvious reason, and Bones got his from Kirk,as you said above,as a term of affection and respect,in that left-handed way Kirk has...

I really like this picture. The reason why I think they did that was to "reboot" the nickname. Sawbones isn't really a reference people would get today, hell the only reason why I know what it is is because of Star Trek. That is the reason why I think they did it, which to me is okay.

enterprising-bones In reply to mozzkitty [2010-10-07 05:49:23 +0000 UTC]

Sawbones is a reference people would have to have had looked up in the 60's, too. That hasn't really changed, and doesn't justify them butchering his name's origins. It's also extremely easy to explain. "A surgeon, eh? Like sawbones? Hey, that's what I'll call ya, Bones..."

mozzkitty In reply to enterprising-bones [2010-10-07 06:19:16 +0000 UTC]

Hm I guess so It's just a movie though and I really wish that they wouldn't make another one as it had a pretty definite ending. IMO there were so many other things about that movie to get worked up over (Like how Archers dog was still alive).

enterprising-bones In reply to mozzkitty [2010-10-07 07:38:57 +0000 UTC]

I felt the ending was open, because Kirk was finally captain. Now we get to see him as acting captain

mozzkitty In reply to enterprising-bones [2010-10-07 12:51:55 +0000 UTC]

Yeah but I think they could have ended it there as well, and I would have almost preferred they did. I don't know I guess I'll just have to wait see *fingers crossed*

This is true but I don't really know how they can make it good without being weird, TOS was so lighthearted and I don't know how they can keep that while not being campy.
