,

Summary:

A Vulcan Reform Era Spock portrait made in collaboration with the great artist Grem (allgremlinart/noknowname)

I can finally show this amazing collab I had the pleasure to do with one of my fav artists, and it was a blast!

Sketch by me and awesome coloring and rendering by Grem (Noknowname) 💜✨

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Work Text:

Digital illustration, with base sketch by Purple Enma (yours truly) and color and rendering by Grem (@realgremlintime), depicting a bust illustration of Spock from Star Trek The Original Series. He's framed by a red background decorated with several floral and vegetable shapes surrounding him, with a simple geometric composition orbiting around a halo behind him. He has his left hand raised in the ta'al or Vulcan salute, with his other hand posed below it in the same gesture. He's wearing the style that by my own headcanons became popular when Surak's Vulcan Reform took hold, features with a short bowlcut with shaved sides and a mullet braid in a style that's like a bridge between the ancient Vulcan tradition of long braided hair, and the known bowlcut we think of now for Vulcans who follow Surak's path of Logic. He's adorned with gems and jewels; big IDIC earrings, collar and several rings on his fingers, together with green nails, his signature indigo eyeshadow and green markings on his lower lip.

Notes:

In my mind this is the style that became popular during the Vulcan Reform, a passageway between the ancient tradition of keeping long and braided hair (this from my personal HCs but we do see it has still prevailed in some instances in canon even in contemporary Vulcan) and the bowlcut we all associate with Surak's teachings and the path of Logic.
