I Like How This Turned Out

Hoy he estado practicando para dibujar fondos realistas. He hecho uno facilito. No está mal, pero sé que puedo mejorar.

Today I've been practising to draw realistic backgrounds. I've made an easy one. It's not bad, but I know I can improve.

Spones headcanon. Their love (part 1)

BRIEFLY DESCRIBING THEIR PERSONALITIES

What are they like in love? This is a general question that I like to ask myself a lot. This includes more specific ones: How do they show their love for each other? Who is more affectionate? What do they like to do? Who is the big spoon and the little spoon? ...

Well, I think I have to differentiate between the normal universe and the Mirrorverse. Spock and McCoy are the characters who most resemble themselves in those universes (in personality), but obviously there are differences, and I think those differences are reflected in their relationship.

1. Spock and Mirror McCoy 2. Mirror Spock and McCoy

Normal Spock is logical, calm, thoughtful, thinks long and hard before he acts, and chooses not to use violence. Mirror Spock is forced to use violence (even if he doesn't really like it), is prepared to manipulate to get what he needs, is also thoughtful, but a little less calm (I think), and is still logical.

Spock and Mirror Spock

McCoy, in my opinion, is the most similar in both universes. The normal McCoy is sentimental, somewhat sensitive (even if he doesn't want to show it), cares a lot about others (especially if they are his friends) and would sacrifice himself for them, likes to tease Spock, isn't violent at all (if the situation requires it, he prefers verbal harm) and is brave at times. And the most important trait: he knows how to bring out Spock's emotions. Mirror McCoy is pretty much the same, only he tends to threaten. People are afraid of him because of threats, but they never come true, and if they come true, not by his hand. Spock or Jim are the ones who incite him to torture or hit someone, he almost never decides it on his own. Perhaps he's more fearful than his counterpart, because that universe is terrible (violence everywhere, death if you don't have allies, betrayal...), and he's not so daring with Spock (the Vulcan imposes him quite a lot).

McCoy and Mirror McCoy

With that out of the way, it's time to answer the questions, but that will be in another post.

IT WILL CONTINUE

Me gustan mucho los videojuegos de Minecraft Story Mode. Por eso, he dibujado a Soren el Arquitecto. Más adelante dibujaré más personajes de MCSM tanto de la temporada 1 como de la 2.

Sé que llego tarde, pero aquí tengo un dibujo para el día del primer contacto 😁

I know I'm late, but here's a drawing for the day of First Contact 😁

Los vulcanos no estaban interesados en los humanos, nos consideraban primitivos. No contactarían con nosotros hasta que los humanos desarrollaran por nosotros mismos un motor capaz de superar la velocidad de la luz. Zefram Cochrane fue el que lo desarrolló en el siglo XXI, después de la tercera guerra mundial.

Lo que me da gracia es que en la película hayan puesto esas ropas tan raras a los humanos, como si nosotros lleváramos eso ahora 😂

Vulcans weren't interested in humans, they considered us primitive. They wouldn't contact us until humans developed, on our own, an engine capable of exceeding the speed of light . Zefram Cochrane was the one who developed it in the 21st century, after the third world war.

What I find really funny is that in the film they put these weird clothes on humans, as if we were wearing them now 😂

El hecho de que Solkar no rechazara el apretón de manos de Cochrane implica que se besaron de forma vulcana?

Además, para aquellos que no lo sabían, Solkar es el bisabuelo de Spock

The fact that Solkar didn't refuse Cochrane's handshake implies that they Vulcan-kissed?

Also, for those who didn't know, Solkar is Spock's great-grandfather

The only thing I can tell is 💕💕

On Leonard McCoy

An old rant I made dedicated to my favorite doctor

You see, I have fallen in love with every single one of the characters in Star Trek, they all have such diverse personalities and fun quirks that makes them so enjoyable to watch, read about, and even just think about.

They have become iconic through generations, and I love every single one of them. And to think of the impact that they have achieved on the world and how society is today, is unbelievable. Truly incredible.

Now, with these said, I love all of them, but right now let me talk about our dear southern ol’ country doctor.

Dr. Leonard Horatio “Bones” McCoy, nicknamed bones (a variation of sawbones, a term used for doctors back in the day) by none other than his life long friend Jim Kirk.

He is wonderful. And he is a character that goes through so much pain. They all do, of course. Who can forget the racism Spock ensued, and the tragedy of seeing a massacre when Jim was still young. But right now, let’s tak about McCoy.

He was a simple man, an emotional and irrational man in comparison to the logical Spock, who he always has philosophical arguments with (which I really enjoy watching), yet one of the smartest men in the Star Trek universe. In comparison to his colleagues, he is a simple man. He grew up on earth, studied to be a surgeon at a regular school, yet still with his incredible wit became the chief medical officer aboard the most famous spaceship in all the federation, the USS Enterprise.

As said, he has his friends and colleagues, yet something we are always able to tell, is the feeling of loneliness that bones always carries around with him. He has an ex-wife, and a daughter that barely speaks to him. Apart from his crew mates, he is utterly alone. And him, being such a warm, kind hearted, caring, and loving individual, doesn’t let show how badly the lack of romantic love in his life affects him. Which it does. So much that in the last episode I watched “for the world is hollow and I have touched the sky” he was about to marry a woman he has just met, just because she was besotted with him and because he was convinced he was going to die of a terminal illness and his whole life had been lived without love. Nothing shows how badly alone a person has felt their whole life, than this. An excerpt taken directly from the episode:

NATIRA: You have lived a lonely life? 
MCCOY: Yes, very lonely.

It is probably because of this loneliness, that he carries himself around with a grumpy exterior. But anyone that knows him, knows that is not how he really is. This man always carries himself with such joy when it comes to his patients and his friends. A truly remarkable trait. Something I personally admire deeply.

Apart form his sadness and grumpiness, what this shows is that Bones is the most human of them all. Jim and Spock, even with Spock not even being a human, assert their humanity a lot, which is wonderful. But out of the three of them, the one that was created to act as a moral compass, and the heart, was bones. He is the most human of them all, and I like to show these with quotes said directly by him.

“"Jim, every doctor and nurse from here to the Rim lives in hope that one day we'll wake up and find that everybody in the Universe is perfectly healthy and in possession of a signed certificate from God saying that they're going to die peacefully in their sleep. Then we can all retire and go fishing”

"You see, I feel sorrier for you than I do for him because you'll never know the things that love can drive a man to. The ecstasies, the miseries, the broken rules, the desperate chances, the glorious failures, the glorious victories. All of these things you'll never know simply because the word love isn't written into your book."

Apart form this, it has been shown countless times, that he has a strict moral compass which he follows even more than the rules, something a true heart would do

"To blazes with regulations! You can't let him take command when you know he's wrong." - McCoy to Spock on Commodore Decker

He is human, kind, caring, intelligent, and very very fun. He is a joy to watch on screen and the way he interacts with other characters just gives me life.

And yet again, he always feels alone. No love in his life, except for the few people that appreciate him and have the pleasure of calling themselves his friends.

I cannot explain, but he is wonderful, a role model, someone we should all aspire to be. And my feelings towards him are those of deep rooted admiration. He always manages to make me smile.

And so here, I leave one of my favorite inspirational quotes said by him:

"In this galaxy there's a mathamatical probability of three million Earth type planets. And in all of the universe, three million million galaxies like this. And in all of that... and perhaps more... only one of each of us."

I have ranted too much. Do forgive me.

Esta semana he dibujado esto:

This week I drew this:

Sé que la pose es demasiado estática, aún tengo que trabajar dinamismo en poses y anatomía del cuerpo y muchas cosas más (no voy a dar abasto 😵). Me puse a dibujar la cara de Mirror Spock y como me gustó cómo me había quedado, añadí el resto del cuerpo para probar (esto no me gustó tanto cómo quedó 😆).

I know the pose is too static, I still have to work on dynamic poses and body anatomy and many other things (I don't think I'll be able to keep up with it 😵). I started to draw Mirror Spock's face and as I liked how it turned out, I added the rest of the body to try it out (I didn't like it so much 😆).

Why I drew like this:

Yo siempre he querido que al dibujar personajes se parezcan lo máximo a la realidad y el estilo cómic creo que es de los que más consiguen eso y de los que más me llaman la atención (bueno, también depende de qué cómic, pero yo me refiero a cómics tipo Marvel, que están muy bien detallados).

I've always wanted that, when drawing characters, they look as much like reality as possible and I think the comic style is the one that most achieves this and the one that most attracts my attention (well, it also depends on the comic, but I'm referring to Marvel type comics, which are very well detailed).

Además, llevo un tiempo pensando que debo cambiar mi forma de dibujar para que se ajuste más a lo que yo quiero (ahora que llevo un tiempo dibujando de forma seria). Por eso, esta semana me propuse "empezar de cero". Empecé a ver vídeos, referencias, consejos... de gente que dibuja muy bien ese estilo, para ver cómo podía yo usar esos consejos para hacer eso que decían a mi "estilo" (si es que puede decirse que tengo uno) y que me gustara cómo quedara. Esta semana me he dedicado más a la cara y sus partes, rostros y eso.

Besides, I've been thinking for a while that I should change the way I draw to make it more in line with what I want (now that I've been drawing "seriously" for a while). That's why this week I decided to "start from zero". I started to watch videos, references, tips... from people who draw very well that style, to see how I could use those tips to do what they said to my "style" (if I can say I have one) and that I liked the way it looked. This week I've dedicated myself more to the face.

The image zoomed in. In the second image you can appreciate better the features of the face (ignore the rest of the body).

Trataré de dibujar así de ahora en adelante, y espero llegar a cumplir mis expectativas (ahora que me he demostrado a mí misma que puedo dibujar mejor que antes, al menos las caras por ahora).

I will try to draw like this from now on, and I hope to live up to my expectations (now that I have proved to myself that I can draw better than before, at least the faces for now).

Un dibujo hecho rápido y corriendo (pero que luego le puse el lineart) para practicar poses

A quick and fast drawing (but then I put the lineart on it) to practice poses

I listened again to my favourite album of Mägo de Oz (Ira Dei) and the instrumental part of the beginning from minute 1:58 of the album reminds me of a battle against a Pokemon boss 😂😂. Is it just me or does it happen to someone else?

Link to the song, which is called Jerusalem D.C.

By the way, I love the beginning of this album, especially the beginning of this instrumental part, which is Celtic-like.

Mi regalo de Navidad ha sido una tableta gráfica. Es genial porque ahora podré practicar 😄. Este dibujo es el primero que hice.

My Christmas present was a graphics tablet. It's great because now I can practice 😄. This drawing is the first one I made.

No quiero hacer spoiler, pero he querido dibujar una escena de una de las continuaciones del cómic que estoy dibujando del Mirrorverse 😉. Hablando del cómic, a ver si subo las siguientes páginas, que entre las vacaciones y los exámenes no he tenido mucho tiempo (siempre me pasa lo mismo 😔)...

I don't want to make spoiler, but I wanted to draw a scene from one of the continuations of the comic I'm drawing of the Mirrorverse 😉. Speaking of the comic, let's see if I upload the next pages, because due to holidays and exams I haven't had much time (as always 😔)...

He quedado satisfecha con las rocas. Es la primera vez que intento dibujarlas, y es complicado, pero por algo se empieza.

I am satisfied with the rocks. It's the first time I've tried to draw them, and it's complicated, but that's a start.
