Task Force: Gamma

I've been working on an avatar, but I need some suggestions. I don't think I could Photoshop someone to look vulcan and be happy with the outcome. Which leaves me with existing characters. I need a caucasian male vulcan, of reasonably young age, that is a character somewhere in trek. I need a white Tuvok is what I need. Anyway, suggestions? All the Vulcans I can think of or find are older looking. I am sorely tempted to use the new Spock, but it seems like a cop out.

Anyway thanks in advance.

Colin, Marek,Xavier,Vek, did I miss anyone?

I always forget the boolean part of search engines, I spent hours the other day looking for star trek uniforms on google before I finally found a site with halfway decent images, but not much for Vulcans

*bows before Spots* Not worthy yet again!

Thanks

Well, forgive me, I cannot resist some things as well as I should. No offense meant, but I did get a good belly laugh from that!

All the best, look forward to your next avatar.....

That's way better than anyone I had found, Spots the walking star trek encyclopedia. Now I guess I have to dust off Photoshop

Okay so this is rough I know but this is my warm up I haven't done this in awhile, this is my Croft choice, I know the rank doesn't work (I having trouble with the Vorik always having his head at a weird angle thing so I played instead)

Keep pushing the ears up, trim up the eyebrows, and aside from the mirror-mirror feel of the beard, I like the look overall......just a layman's opinion. Feel free to ignore it, because my idea of photoshop is a place to download my digitals and get them printed!

if you can send me the PSD file with the layers intact I may be able to edit that for you, and change the lighting a bit on the uniform/head to fit together a bit more.

I might take you up on that, although even if you tweak the ears and eyebrows, the hair is just to stylish for a Vulcan. Ah what the heck, Marek is supposed to be laid back for a Vulcan anyway, nothing like a Vulcan with spiked hair to make people go WTF?

PS I only have Photoshop 7 so hopefully that isn't an issue

PSS oh and don't laugh when you see what I did to cut out the part of Picards head that was sticking out, It's a hatchet job.

*nearly spits water all over her screen upon seeing Jensen Ackles in a star trek uniform*

oh man... that's gonna be a difficult avatar for me to see everytime you post... I'm gonna wind up laughing everytime for a while...

I'm a big Supernatural fan and my first thought was the dialouge I could write into one of my stories about Dean Winchester at a Trek convention.... oh boy... that may just be my next story now!

No disrespect, but to me, it's just funny.... *laughsnortlaugh* Oh I have friends that will love it!
