The Jolly Nagus



I was bored so I thought I would try drawing the Grand Nagus from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. I was kinda going for a Buddha vibe. I’m happy with it. Watercolor and crayon on 4x6 watercolor postcard.

Great work! Zek probably was about as close to a Buddha as any Ferenghi ever got by the end of his time as Grand Negus, right? :rofl:

Love your style. I think the picture of it with the reference shot, before you finished the eyes, looks like he is laughing!

I was attempting that. I kinda regret the filled in eyes, but I also kinda like it too. Oh, the eyes are metallic gold and the whites of his eyes are shimmery white. You can see it IRL.

The colors turned out well, I like the wrinkliness, and those ear tufties!
The Live Laugh Latinum is hilarious.
