Art in memory of Kenneth Mitchell

I was messing around and decided to redesign the Star Trek Discovery Klingons in the style of TNG/DS9 Klingons. I don't know if I did a good job - that was actually my first time drawing Klingons - but it's out there now! ^^

I didn't really like the portrayal of the Klingons in Discovery. They felt more like space orcs, and I know a lot of people thought it was a racist portrayal. When we don't like something, we try to think of what to do to improve it. So I tried the redesigns.

Bonus: Voq also gets his own bald cultist version.

I've put Tenavik in my wishlist and posted it yesterday, because Kenneth Mitchell really touched me with his portrayal of Tenavik.

Little did I know yesterday just how much that scene means to him for his personal life.

Anson and Branan just published a new episode of their podcast The Well, in which Anson interviewed Kenneth on the Star Trek Cruise 2 years ago.

Please check it out. But be warned, it is going to mess with your heart.

Knowing Kenneth still pursues his job as an actor, I still hope we'll get to see Tenavik again. I feel like there is so much more to tell about that character, and so much more for Kenneth to put into him.
