#probably a bad idea to link to the book on this post but its like... one of three readable trek novels and is SO good and i want people to
#know about it!!!! anyway.
#artist's comments: 1. the armour is a mix between cardassian armour and the arm plating in the joan of arc image
#2. the engraving on the armour obviously isnt from the show. but! rugal makes friends with ziyal and i thought: a. how cool would it be if
#rugal had a set of armour from the cardassian army (though of course he was opposed to them) maybe he looted it off someone idk
#and b. what if... ziyal (good friend and artist) personalized it for him? gave it the sentimental touch that was so removed from army wear?
#3. that's a cardassian rifle! not a phase pistol. i needed him to be holding something significantly larger to fill the space of a sword so.
#anyway the design of that is pretty close to how it appears in canon which is fun (excruciating)
#4. the background is supposed to be cardassia after the dominion war. white flag isn't the cardassian flag (it helps that theres not a canon
#design for the cardassian flag) but i figured a white flag = cardassia surrendering (not to the dominion but surrendering its old ways of
#militancy and violence yada yada yada
#what else. oh this was originally supposed to be garak but i made a sketch and then went 'that's not garak'
#so by the time i'd started the final version i had a whole new plan about rugal re: cardassia/armour/legacy/whatever
#also. from an Art Perspective i dont think this piece is particularly well balanced. i think his pants probably should be darker if i wanted
#it to look better but ive been working on this for three days and its two times the size of the things ive been drawing lately
#and .. my hand hurts. so. this is it!!!!
#also. i did all this bc i got the sm*ths line 'and now i know how joan of arc felt. now i know how joan of arc felt!!!!' stuck in my head
#and i didnt even use that in the caption bc i dont want people to know i listen to them
