In my continuing pursuit of relevance, I decided to do a new Star Trek illustration...similar to what I had done with the Khan Trek covers for IDW. I hope they'd like me to do some more eventually. It's a fun universe to play in. For this image I was intrigued by the idea of a team-up between the elder and younger Spocks...established in the new movies. Here, the fiction for this image revolves around the elder Spock's efforts to find all of the Vulcan refugees a new home world. You have to see the last JJ Abrams Trek movie to understand. Elder Spock has visited an ancient Vulcan colony on another world, hoping to establish this as New Vulcan (which was at one time a resort of sorts he and his family visited when he was a teenager...where he met a young Vulcan girl he fell in love with, but never saw again- the Vulcan Idic symbol pendant he is clutching in the image was a parting gift from the girl). Upon arriving at the planet , he makes a horrible discovery...and so, calls for the help of the only other person he can fully trust (and who also understands the emotional gravity of the situation). That person is HIMSELF....Spock, the younger.
