I’m waiting with my judgement until I’ve seen it. The thing is, if Trek in the 60s had had the technology (and budget) the way shows have today, I bet TPTB would have made aliens more alien. This week’s alien with a funny forehead is a Trek thing, so trying to break with that isn’t necessarily a bad thing. The thing we don’t want is for Klingons to be more like animal predators. That would be a mistake.

The point is that the designs from TNG/DS9/VOY/ENT were good enough as is, and all of those were the intended designs that TOS never had the budget to do. This change was UNNECESSARY. Now we have to retcon YET ANOTHER canon Klingon design for no reason.

#also it just messes with the flow of the design#they said this show is a prequel of the original universe#not the alternative reboot universe#so like#the fact that the Klingons look practically exactly like the aos ones????#idk hopefully they explain it or whatever#maybe they are going to go into detail about the Klingon genetics war#even though I'm pretty sure that happened after tos not before#IDK

“ART SKILL” Is subjective, someone might have a worse grasp on anatomy & technique but great ideas or grasp of color/design, or vise versa. someone might be INCREDIBLE at drawing detailed anatomy but be completely shit at composition and color theory.

The only thing that makes someone a “bad artist” is if they have a shit attitude.

people are reblogging this post & it makes me glad to see people being aware of their strengths/weaknesses in art cus being aware at both what you are good at and what you are bad at is how you improve as an artist
