Description

The character of Gul Dukat ( Deep Space Nine ) is the property of CBS/Paramount Television.

I'm pretty pleased with how this came out- even signed it! I chucked the first version and the generic Cardassian in scraps in case anyone wondered...yup, this pic was an eye opener for me. I've made a vow to stay true to my natural way of drawing and just skip those artificial constructs I tried so hard to stick by that just hindered me before.

As for the character: it's Marc Alaimo, who played the role of Cardassian Gul Dukat from the Deep Space Nine series which ran from 1993- 1999. I seriously wish they could bring back the series just for this personality who they 'killed off' in the series finale- before he gets too old to consider it! Edit: Read that he's retired- don't know if it's true. Bummer Marc.
One more edit: this was based off a very tiny picture I found on the web that was up-sampled ( :( ) and then probably flipped- it's bugging me now that I've noticed it.

Hell yes, Dukat is the man. I am currently having a DS9 marathon on Netflix. In the middle of season 3. Best of the Star Trek Franchise ever. The character relationships are incredibly rich. My guess is the only reason it ended at all is the budget was too high due to the demand for quality effects, wardrobe, writing, etc- but you gotta give props for Gene for making it happen. Thanks for this lovely drawing! Wish I could draw that well! :)
