DC Comic Book Cover, Worf, Star Trek: The Next Generation. Brush, ink, china marker.

Now, THAT'S a big Klingon!

The characters depicted are of all the actors whose likenesses we were legally able to use, with the exception you noted. As I recall, at the time there may have been some uncertainty as to whether or not the likeness of actor Billy Campbell was permitted for use by DC Comics. So, to be safe, my editor suggested I make up a different likeness to avoid any complications. I simply found a model in a magazine, and altered the reference to suit my purpose.

Billy Campbell, best known to most as "The Rocketeer," played the original title character from the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode, "The Outrageous Okona." The character's return in the comic book version was a fun idea. These sorts of cross-media sequels were common, and Harry Mudd was another popular Trek character to experience this treatment.
Can YOU name any others? :)

*Trivia - The actor's full name is William Oliver Campbell. Since there was already an actor of note in Hollywood history with the name of William Campbell, it's no surprise that the younger Campbell went with the nickname, "Billy." Ironically, BOTH Campbells appeared on the Star Trek tv shows!

Reportedly, Billy Campbell was considered for the role of Commander William Riker, but lost the part to Jonathan Frakes.

*Original Art is not available.

I'm a huge fan of details and this...is detail-love. Amazing. Just...wow. (Yes, incredibly inventive and interesting comment so far, I know...:P)

The hatching is superb. The forehead ridges and eyes especially are notable, and there could be no mistaking in a thousand years who this is. It calls to mind all the dramatic Worf episodes where the camera got in close, and we saw all the nuances of his expressions. This hits it dead-on.

It makes me wish you would draw Lt. Barclay. >XD
