Dr. Bashir as Nijinsky's Faun

First Star Trek: Deep Space Nine fanart! I've been getting more interested again in Star Trek lately and wanted to make a drawing related to that.

Context + details under the cut + alt version

There are quite a few "jokes" circulating in the Trek fandom about Dr. Julian Bashir being a ballet fan, or even a ballet dancer himself, because of his ex-girlfriend being a ballerina, so I got inspired by that and... drew him as the faun from the ballet "Prélude à l'après midi d'un faune" by Vaslav Nijinsky, based on the piece of the same title by Claude Debussy (which again, was based on the poem "L'Après midi d'un faune" by Stéphane Mallarmé).

The costume was, obviously, heavily based on the original from the ballet by Léon Bakst, although I made some adaptations to make it look more futuristic (? though this was hard because the original attire itself is already pretty modern), and also make sure Bashir was recognizable (I replaced the headpiece that maintained the horns with a rose crown, which I guess isn't fully off tracks either because Léon Bakst did design a costume made of roses for another ballet!)

And no, this isn't "Vulcanface", that's the actual makeup of the faun in the ballet haha.

I dedicate this drawing to my friend @bashircore! Dr. Bashir is his favorite Star Trek character.

The veil Julian is holding is Elim Garak's, by the way. :)

“All is hell well in the Afton family,”

this is a redraw of a 7 year old piece of mine, this time with the found-family Aftons too. crazy to think of how much my designs and the AU in general have changed over the years.

this fandom is crazy bc the game presents you with the most androgynous cryptid of a protagonist who quite literally beats you over the head with a hockey stick that they are not you nor is anything about them aside from their actions dictated by your preferences. and some people still came out of it going "their gender is up for interpretation and i interpret him as a boy!" anyways happy pride
