"To boldly go..." (40 years later)

Post by Athos »

In honor of the 40th Anniversary of the debut of Star Trek (September 8, 1966), I present a Star Trek vignette. In the classic Episode 25, "The Devil in the Dark," Spock makes contact with a horta:

This is awesome. I too love Star Trek, and this captures it rather well. Thanks for sharing it.

I've used regular blue torsos in the past, but the littler color works better. Try tan for Kirk. Nicely done from one fan to another. And yes Mr. Shatner I have kissed girls.

Don't worry. There's hope for trekkies--I'm engaged to one. ;)

Steve, I really like the simple style you employ in your vigs.
Knowledge is power. Power corrupts. Be Smart. Be evil.

Well I can't take credit for the idea. Not sure who's it was, but wasn't mine. I think I was just the first to actually do it.
