It's been pretty cool working on Trek recently. I obviously lean towards doing narrative based covers but the movie style ones are interesting to work on with the added element of getting the likenesses right.

This is a photo of the painting as it actually looks. You can see the texture I added at the underpainting stage (using Liquin Impasto) to gie it a bit of life. I used to do that on many of my paintings but it takes an extra day or so to dry and unfortunately I just don't have the time nowadays!
And after I did a bit of photshop editing with filters to make it look more like the cover for volume one in tone and colouring.
