Why this piece is awesome: I love this b/w triptych because of its epic, dramatic mood that fits Star Trek perfectly. The textures and backgrounds behind the characters resonate with them: Spock's third is quite angsty, referencing Vulcan's destruction in the Reboot 'verse, Kirk's is more hopeful, so that he seems looking up to the stars and their future, meanwhile McCoy's expression is calm and his background reminiscent of a planet's city skyline as if grounding them. You should check out the single posts of individual panels because they show larger versions (Vulcan, Terra and Oath) or download the large wallpaper-sized version of the complete triptych that is linked in the LJ post below to see the painting in more detail and appreciate it fully.
