Description Looks like I'm still into Discovery  . I tried to find a new series to disctract me from DSC, but so far nothing worked (tried "The Expanse", "Altered Carbon", "Shadowhunters", "Stranger Things", "Black Mirror", "The Travelers")

So I start a new collection with simple background.
First one is Michael Burnham, who tries and fails and tries again, never forgetting the principles Starfleet stands for.

Try Stargate Atlantis. ;D Maybe you'll start creating Wraith OCs...
I still need to watch the last 4-or-so episodes of DSC, I've been busy. :c

I love Michael's stance on your picture, and the way her uniform sits. Also really, really, really great job on her fabulous hair!

 Tried SGA, and made it to somewhere into season 3 before I gave up ... sorry ... I couldn't get connected to any of the characters. Only the first doctor was to my liking, and the few episodes with Michael, where the went onto morally swampy ground.

They went onto morally swampy ground way before Michael, in my opinion. XD
Well, you could still try SG-1, different set of characters. Or watch all Michael episodes still to come, there are a few left. SPOILER: Carson returns later on, too. I guess you weren't the only one who missed him.
I wonder if I know of any show you might like... What do you like in a show?

What do I like ... good question - I guess I can't tell before I see it. I'm absolutely character driven, so if the writers/actors manage to create a character I do care for, I'm already won over (if the story of the series is not complete BS). And I guess I'm more often than not into those series that don't go well with mainstream and so get cancelled after the first season - or into characters that get killed ... heck! One day, One day there will be a series, where I like the main chara ... I still can dream .

I get it. I'm terrible at keeping up with shows if the characters or storyline doesn't grab me and pull me in entirely. Tbh I still need to watch the last four-or-so episodes of DSC. ^_^ It's not that I don't like it,  but other stuff had priority these past few months and well...
In any case it's really tough to think of good suggestion if the main criterion is "I know it when I see it", lol. Have you thought about reading the DSC books instead of looking into a new series just yet? I hear "Desperate Hours" is quite good.

Dahkur In reply to WhirlwindVio [2018-03-21 18:18:27 +0000 UTC]

Yup, I started with Desperate Hours in November (ahem ... yes, I still didn't finish it). The problem with Star Trek books for me is always the characters. Most of the time I have the feeling a mediocre fanfiction gets the characters better than the official authors do (I heard Kirsten Beyer is an exception, but since she writes Voyager and I don't care for this series I haven't read anything from her yet). So the book is okay, the story is okay, but I absolutely don't care for the whole Enterprise-Pike-Number-One scenario (simply never ever was a TOS fand and never will be). And since I'm completely addicted to Stamets and Culber and those books so far take place in the pre-DSC era I'm also missing "my" characters (*sigh*, I know, I'm hard to please).

I was just thinking about which series did pull me in and I fear I have to go back a long way. Before Discovery came along I even had the impression that I'm just not the audience for modern series anymore. ... no wait ... just remember one - the last I was fascinated with was new Battlestar Galactica.

How about Hemlock Grove or The Handmaid's Tale?  Still, I know what you mean.  I've been really obsessed with Batman lately and it's all I want to talk about.  Anyway, great drawing of Michael!  You really do her justice!

Handmaid's Tale is not available in Germany. I already looked that up, cause it got good critics.
Hemlock Grove I had to look up. I could give it a try, but vampire, werewolf YA stuff normally isn't my cup of tea (tried that with Shadowhunters and only found Magnus Bane worth watching).

suburbantimewaster In reply to Dahkur [2018-03-20 07:50:20 +0000 UTC]

Trust me, Hemlock Grove is definitely not YA. It’s more like a vampire werewolf story if it were aired on HBO. Speaking of HBO, you can try Westworld if you have that channel. Sorry to hear that Handmaid’s Tale is not available in Germany. The show was based off of a book, if you want to check it out.

Dahkur In reply to suburbantimewaster [2018-03-20 07:52:50 +0000 UTC]

Ah, okay, then I'll put it on my list. HBO is not a channel in Germany. I can watch all the series that are streamed on either netflix or amazon.
I hope Handmaid's tale will be available on one of them someday.

Whoa, she looks so lifelike! Just something about how you did the brushwork in her uniform and the gleam in her sKin. Amazing textures!

Her uniform has that sort of heavy velvety look that's really appealing in texture.

Dahkur In reply to summerartistart [2018-03-20 07:47:43 +0000 UTC]

For this I had a reference for the uniform folds. I'm now curious how the next one will turn out, where I don't have a pose and folds reference. I hope I'm able to transfer - will be a very good exercise.
