Some people have had... interesting... reactions seeing it in color for the first time. My neighbor, who had a black and white TV, saw a little scene at my place where it was the episode about Elaan of Troyius (who had to marry the Troyan prince and didn't want to). The neighbor said, "No wonder she doesn't want to marry him, he's blue!"

That's about the most coppery I've ever seen Jilla's hair. It's pretty.  :)

Since this was a fantasy version of Jilla, I felt free to play with her hair color a little.

Have been sick recently -- but here's an illustration I've been working on for a story titled "Redshirts" in which an engineer and a security guard remarkably make it through an entire adventure without dying...

Very nice! :)

But since those two look like Jeremy and Del, I don't expect either of them to die.

I expect that that is Jeremy and Del, now that you mention it.

It is indeed Jer and our Del in a very lonely corridor on a mining station.

I've been experimenting with a technique called "color grading" that allows you to manipulate the color range of an image in certain ways.  In this one, I was working on bringing out a cold, metallic, cyan cast to the machinery while preserving the warm tones of their skin and uniforms -- hopefully to make them look a little more isolated in the uninviting setting of this story.

They certainly don't fit in with the scene in their bright and shiny uniforms. Also, they're both red shirts... :o
(not both expendable I hope)

Nope, neither character is expendable. They've been part of the Valjiir storyline since they were children, and they have  very strong ties to several of the main characters, especially Sulu and Ruth.

Ah yes. Wasn't one of them a former love interest of Ruth?

Everyone's a former love interest of everyone else.
