My second illustrative cover for an Amarillo Design Bureau product. What do you guys think?

Awesome!

Neat! The green eye shading on the Vulcan is awesome! Very reminiscent of Spock's TOS make-up.

Yup, TOS as we know it. The men full of muscles and the women... well, a chapter for itself.

The Vulcan looks strange with his green eyelid shadow.

VERY BESM!

Only change I would suggest would be reducing the length of the phasers hand grip, because it makes it look like a SMG. lol

That's basically what I was going for. I always liked that in TOS. Strong, charismatic men. Sensual, intoxicating women. But I also wanted to highlight that both sexes are strong, capable, and proud defenders of the Federation. That's one of the areas that I feel Gene Roddenberry was very forward-thinking, even while the network forced him to put his female characters in miniskirts instead of pants.

Also, I'm surprised people have noticed the greenish hue above the Vulcan officer's eyes. It's a very definite and intentional throwback to Spock's makeup in TOS. I made it so subtle that I barely notice it(although this might be attributable to my mild color-blindness).

Thanks guys!

That did now help them.

Well it's pretty visible, because of the contrast of the green to the pink of the skin around and the black of the eyebrow.

But a sweet one anyway.

Woman can't become captains in TOS but it's a really cool picture.

They can't? Although I think it would have been a bit before its time for Gene to have put a female in the captain's chair as far as the show, there's nothing in the Trek universe saying that females couldn't be captains before TMP.

Hell, considering there are TONS of female Naval Captains and such in the modern world, I think another 200 years would only make more progress.
