I did post it to his wall, and for a while it was included in his facebook banner (cracked-stars-shining.tumblr.cā¦ but he never acknowledged it directly unfortunately. Still, it was pretty neat to have it in his banner.

Awesome work! I think it's so fab that I've even pointed George Takei on his FB page to this artwork of yours so he can see it for himself

Very nice! It is simple to use a tablet with CS5? I've never used one.

It takes a bit of practice to get used to drawing on a different surface than what you're looking at. But with practice it gets to be second nature. The only challenge I have is that my tablet is a little old and rickety and the nib wobbles. Not a problem with broad strokes but makes small details difficult.

Thanks for the insight! I hope to try one someday.

YAY! SULU! He doesn't get enough love and he really deserves it. I'm curious though, what did you use to make this?

He does deserve more love! This was made in Photoshop CS5 with a Wacom Intuos3 tablet. I used one of Photoshop's stock brushes to get the hatched effect.
