I’ve Drawn A Few Creepy Twisty Odos Before, But I Really Wanted To Explore What It Might’ve Been

I just found this post in my drafts:

Thank you std4! You granted my wish

I can make a fanart that is so out of character

worf

Kay I can't get over "Improbable Cause"/"The Die is Cast" because Garak stabs Odo in the back without a moment's hesitation the second he gets the invite to return to the Obsidian Order/Tain/Cardassia/Whatever, and then he tortures Odo nearly to death looking for info on the Dominion and all he gets out of Odo is that Odo really wants to go home to his people and join the Great Link despite Everything, but when Odo gets the chance to go home, despite how much he wants to, he sticks to his morals and refuses.

So Odo gets stabbed in the back, and tortured into revealing a shameful secret. He should kick Garak out on his ass and never speak to him again, but he doesn't.

So whereas Garak took the chance to go home without hesitation, Odo refused his own chance to go home with equal conviction, so Odo could sit on his moral high horse and judge Garak for giving into temptation, but he doesn't.

Odo might not forgive Garak for what he did, but he understands why he did it enough to stick around and be his friend despite it all. Like, the guy really says "hey you did a really shitty thing to me but I understand, let's get breakfast sometime."

Something about that just hits, you know?

odo art for today

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.

i like his eyes. look at em. what a freak.

GUYS OH MY GOD

The hands 😖

I'm super tired and basically spending NYE on the couch with snacks, but Rick would probably be slutting it up in some intergalactic night club right now.

Saw it on Twitter maybe a week ago and still can’t stop thinking about it

I know this definitely won’t happen but now it will be much more interesting for my pervert mind to watch the new season and think that Aziraphale is pregnant during the whole plot

@snakehoos thank you✨

Have I watched the new episodes? No

Do I have quite specific thoughts on Saru/T’rina already? YES

Just look at this:
