Cuddles

This time I tried my best to keep it simple. Though it was hard, every time I took the bush in my hands I felt deep urge to ad random streams all over the place , splash some random red everywhere. But I had decided to have clean-ish lines and simple background.

But yeah.... since I love color explotions, you'll see later what my repsessed urge vomitted after I got this painting ready.

So, more Garak/Bashir for you nice folk!
I'm still terribly surprised there isn't any more of it. When I think about this pairing, it's quite obvious that it's one of "the big thigs" in the whole ST-fandom in any case. You know, if Kirk/Spock is the biggest thing, Garak/Bashir the biggest of DS9 surely, and it might be biggest after K/S. Or at least in the Top 5 list, if you feel I'm exaggerating.

Still there's great lack of art. I dunno, there's quite little DS9-art in general, if compared all the TOS/TNG art around. I'm not completely sure about why is it, but could it be that DS9's fanbase has greater number of males?
It is a generalisation, but rather true one anyways, that fanfiction and slash fanfiction/art is mainly done by women. DS9 seems to be more serious with credibility science and other space stuff that in stereotype attracts more men, when other Trek-stuff leans more towards charactersoap in scifi surrounding, which, again in stereotype, interests women more.

But hey, that's just few random thoughts I've come up with, nothing serious. Don't take it as an men vs. women kind of statement, just thinking out loud. And there certainly is quite huge amonth of fics around there, I don't know why art is in the minority here.

Maybe I should sometimes try to stick into issue at hand in the desricptions xD Sorry, I have tendency to babble.

I actually don't remember that episode too well where I took the reference for this embrace. It was some sort of mindgame/dream sort of thing where Sisko and Bashir where run throught this simulation of things to reveal how they would react in a situation like that and in that fake-thing Bashir had Garak die in his arm.

Seriously, I dunno why I cannot remember specifics about that episode. Not even the name, gosh I'm such a bad Trekkie today. But I did took the reference from there. At first I was planning to do just that, but then my inner romantic took over, and I wanted this to be cutesy and full of love. So I changed it into a nosekiss. And Bashor looks like he's sitting on Garak's lap. Which for reasons obvious, is a huge turn on for me xD

That should have happened for reals xD

And I enjoyed way too much painting Garak's clothes.
Went with kind of cartoony-look, because too much realism just kills my interest. Why did I paint figers like that? For no reason. Simply. No. Reason.

Acrylics on canvas. For sale, if you're interested etc.
