everyone who sees me surely knows

So awhile back, I signed up for the second round of trekreversebang, and now I finally get to post! I love the whole concept of reverse bangs (there should be more of them, in all my fandoms); in a neat reversal, fanartists get to see what it's like when another creative person takes our work and runs with hir own interpretation. Fascinating.

As my piece is a bit NSFW, have a thumbnail, and the full image beneath the cut:





I must say, for such a simple concept this was a bit challenging to render. Also, color! I can't seem to escape it lately.

I note that ataratah commented about the nu!Enterprise lighting making it look like they're "making sweet love in a Mac store," which is possibly one of my favorite comments on my fanart ever. :p

I swear I meant to draw something that implied a little more, oh, plot ... fortunately, the intrepid classroomnotes managed to spin one out anyway! You can find the tale here: Dream Weaver (Spock/Uhura, R). It reminds me delightfully of an episode of TOS, only with a bit of AOS spin (and slightly risque subject matter, comparatively speaking). I am flattered that she was inspired by my work.

You guys should check out the community; there is going to be a whole mess of fantastic fic & art going up over there over the next few weeks. I'm looking forward to reading; I've already had sneak peeks at the artwork, and let me tell you, it is stunning. Seriously some of the best overall output I've ever seen for a single challenge.
