Odo and Quark NEVER looked more married than in this episode!
They’re the total opposites of their DS9’s selves:
Odo is a big submissive to hierarchy twat who doesn’t care about what’s right, almost actual fascist, who let himself getting fucked by bigger fascists cause they have more power than him,
Quark is a revolted, almost up in arms, and progressive as fuck electric battery who can’t stand any kind of injustice, like not letting women be published writers or impeding Black people from writing.
Btw, I suspect these 50’s New York Odo and Quark are an actual gay couple, that no one except their colleagues know, and while Quark wants to yell it on the rooftops, because GAY RIGHTS, Odo refuses at all costs to let the world know. Maybe that’s why he’s so bitter, so submissive and so pessimistic.
While his cute social justice warrior is combative and unyielding. X)
Also that end, wow! Such a meta end!
“What if Benny exists and we are the dream?” says the guy who actually wrote that episode.
and heres just the lineart because i love nice crisp weighted lines.
rene had such a great way with body language which he leaned on during his performance as odo- i assume because his face was covered by a creepy skin-mask the whole time, limiting his facial expressions. very fun to see how he portrays this really gruff grumpy dude in his posture. he’s always skulking around with his head low and his nose high.
so i’ve finally got a good grasp on how to draw odo with stylistic flair. drawing goo is both meditatively fun and horribly tedious, 7/10.
id: a redraw of a scene from deep space nine. it shows odo, crouching in the corner, holding a potted plant in front of himself. he’s smiling and looking off to the right. the background is very simple and colored in using blue, mostly showing geomatrical shapes and two firework-like shapes in the top right corner. end id
hey since changelings can survive without an atmosphere what if odo just yote himself out the airlock sometimes when he Needed A Minute and just kinda hung onto the side of the station and vibed. feels in character for him
I need some art of Quark in his Onesie jammies in his quarters and all of a sudden Odo just slowly floats by with his arms crossed and an “I’m watching you” look on his face and Quark is just befuddled.
