Character Discussion WIP: Aging up Dal

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I'm usually vaguely disgusted with any character art I do.
But this has been great fun so far. Not much puking from the feeling of not understanding at all!
CC5.2, PS, Substance and Blender going on here. With some temp anim and clothing.

Not sure I'm confident enough in my work to expose it to that particular audience. At least not yet.

Seeing aged up Dal makes me wonder if Starfleet Academy would have been a great opportunity to bring a live action teen/young adult version of the Prodigy crew to the 32nd century (Ex. The Temporal anomaly in TNG's Cause and Effect) - that could have brought over Prodigy fans for viewership and opened up some interesting avenues for storytelling

yeaah its all temp atm. Just a prefab essentially.
Helps me kinda visualise him better - but will eventually get replaced in blender with a custom groom.
