Oh man, she looks like she is gonna EAT HIM UP! (and I mean that literally!!!)

Very cute and sweet. I love the lute and the sculpture!

Thank you! <3

I love Spock's serious/sexy expression and Nimoy chest hair. You rock those eyebrows, Spock.

[red-eft.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I worked quite a bit on Spock's expression, so I'm glad it worked for you!

This is awesome. I really like their expressions, and the lyre in the background is a nice touch.

[red-eft.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I'm so pleased everyone noticed the lyre in the background, heh.

[red-eft.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

This is really great! I love the recreation you did of his bedroom from TOS, and the coloring is very warm. :)

[red-eft.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I did a lot of work to get the room accurate, hee.

There can never be enough Uhura/Spock! And this is a yummy one -- so warm and connected and intimate, and even though it's not explicit there's a press of flesh against flesh that's utterly sumptuous. Not to mention the two sensual, curving pieces of instrument/decor in Spock's otherwise austere quarters, which picks up on the theme of contrast so brilliantly! Just lovely.

[red-eft.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! This is such a lovely comment. <3

This is, um, HOT. Her expression! So predatory and yet affectionate! I love the understated use of color, too - the palette of grays and corals.

[red-eft.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Uhura's expression is probably my favorite part, so I'm glad you like it.

[dualbunny.livejournal.com]

This is sweet and sexy, and *so* atmospheric. Gorgeous coloring and shading. :D

[red-eft.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much!

[ieke85.livejournal.com]

I'm loving the color palette, too.

And is that a hint of green modesty I see in Spock's cheeks? Fantastic! XD

[red-eft.livejournal.com]

Thank you! And hee, yes it is.

Awww. ♥ I have to tell you, I'm almost as delighted by the environment here as the pairing. Eee, TOS-inspired quarters! ;) They are beautifully rendered, and the Vulcan Lyre is really kickass. (Lovely level of detail there!) And awwe, so cozy. Uhura is just gorgeous (I love her nose and cheekbones), and I like Spock's chest hair and green blush. :D The lighting is absolutely lovely as well, so warm and intimate.

[red-eft.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much!

[fangirlism]

Very sexy!

[red-eft.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

[inknose.livejournal.com]

cuuute!! I love that you included the lute XD and even the random TOS red screen thingy! awesome job.
though I always wondered how anyone would fit two people on those skinny little regulation beds... XD

[red-eft.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Heh heh, yeah, I *had* to include the screen thingy. It was just so... old-school Trek.

Dear Mystery Artist:

Your characters are shaped squishy and soft and Not Like The Media, and they are pretty, and they find each other attractive, and they're confident enough be naked and still know they deserve someone as wonderful as the attractive squishy person they're looking at.

Just want to say, that is awesome.

[red-eft.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I do have a tendency to enjoy the squishiness. <3

[kaiserkuchen.livejournal.com]

The sheer mood here is just lovely to look at, and it seems almost palpable. I love it! The coloring, the warmth in Spock and Uhura's expressions, their comfortable body language and just all the little elements of the background (the lute is fantastic!) all come together to make a wonderful picture ♥

[red-eft.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! That so many people recognize the lute makes me happy.

[lady-ganesh.livejournal.com]

Lovely!

[red-eft.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[dramedy.livejournal.com]

d'awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww I love this. it's so romantic and cozy!! I love the lighting, the characters. I just adore all of it! :D :D :D

[red-eft.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much!

[themostepotente.livejournal.com]

Sweet and sexy! And I love Spock's Vulcan lyre in the background!

[red-eft.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[mashimero.livejournal.com]

OH MY GOD. I don't even know where to start - the lute and the sculpture, Uhura being all sexy, Spock's eyebrows, everything is just perfect. So wonderful and atmospheric.

♥♥♥♥

[red-eft.livejournal.com]

Thank you! <3

:D He is hot, but she is GORGEOUS. Very nice work--I love the screen and the lyre and her smirky smile and his chest hair.

[red-eft.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I am amused at the people who like the chest hair. (I am fond of it too! Also, it is *accurate*!)

[alchemy]

My being a Spock/Uhura fan aside, this is one of my favorite pieces this year if only because of the ROOM. I love that you put reboot versions in the TOS bedroom. Fantastic. :D

[red-eft.livejournal.com]

:D Thank you! I did a lot of research on the room, so I'm so happy that people like it.

[nuclearsugars.livejournal.com]

UNF, the look in Uhura's eyes is sexay! Spock is one lucky Vulcan. This is really amazing, I really love your inclusion of the Vulcan lute. :D

[red-eft.livejournal.com]

Uruha is totes sexy. Thank you!

[alias_sqbr]

This is lovely, very evocative and adorable.

[red-eft.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[kittehkat.livejournal.com]

Did he seduce her with music first? :D

Love this! And love that you gave Uhura a bit more meat to her. Look at that possessive hand! She is gonna have her way! :D

[red-eft.livejournal.com]

Hey, they had that duet in TOS where Uhura sang and Spock played, so I don't see why that might not transfer over!

[florence-craye.livejournal.com]

Love the textures, their expressions and the details! I love this pairing, and this is such a cute and intimate scene.

[red-eft.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much!

[zephre.livejournal.com]

this is absolutely adorable - and the details just kill me with awesome. emotional and beautiful.

[red-eft.livejournal.com]

Thanks you! <3
