the great unknown, beckoning to us.

+ Details and some progress pictures

Doing Sisko in the style of an Eastern Orthodox Icon painting because recent events have got me thinking about that type of thing

Details under the cut

[id: 10 gifs from season 3, episode 2 “the search, part 2” from the tv series “star trek: deep space nine”, the gifs show elim garak and benjamin sisko sharing a table in the replimat. garak is seated opposite to sisko.

1st, 2nd gif: garak is shown from the chest up, he tells sisko,"if it means anything to you, commander, i happen to share your feelings about this dominion treaty. i've thought about it a great deal, and the only explanation i can find is that our leaders have simply gone insane." he looks like he is holding back a smile towards the end.

3rd gif: switching to show sisko, who smiles slightly, and tells garak, "it seems that way."

4th gif: "unfortunately, there's nothing you or i can do about it." garak looks around as he tells sisko.

5th gif: "i suppose not." sisko agrees, and lifts his mug to take a sip.

6th gif: "after all, you have your orders and as for me, well..." garak pauses to chuckle before continuing, "i wouldn't dream of opposing the wishes of the central command. a pity." he is looking straight at sisko.

7th gif: "i agree," sisko nods, and pauses for a second, "that it's a pity."

8th gif: "i thought you would." garak informs sisko with a smile.

9th gif: "mister garak, i never knew we thought so much alike." sisko tells garak.

I threatened to do this concept ages ago and I finally made good.
