This is a depiction of Trance Gemini from the TV series Andromeda. This is how I imagine the character might’ve evolved if Robert Hewitt Wolfe had been kept on as showrunner – essentially the same character seen in the first season-and-a-half of Andromeda, just more mature and physically assertive.

I’m particularly proud of this drawing. I have a really hard time capturing likenesses properly; even when I resort to tracing, they often don’t come out looking right. Here, though, I feel I did an excellent job. She really looks like Laura Bertram, not some haphazard caricature.

I drew this back in June. It’s my last serious drawing, and will remain my last. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak. I have the imagination of Dali and Escher, but not their skill; without proper instruction, I never will. So I’m putting down the pencil and calling it a day. I’ll be sticking exclusively to collages and photomanipulations from now own.
