oops I was supposed to be doing homework today.
/sigh for Garak’s eyes
And I love Bashir in Cardassian clothes. Those great big necklines!
Awkward Adventures of Julian Bashir : Cardassia Edition ~
Click through on that image will/should take you to the first of a long string of illustrated awkward. Image is the full version of one that had to be cut for the sake of consistency within the written thing itself. You’ll understand.
Greetings from Cardassia~
k, late

it’s random doodle time
These doodles have been orphaned a little, ironically left to sit alone because I’ve been drawing actual orphans. Not that I’m not planning on making more drawings of just Garak and Bashir, but I wanted to get these stragglers on a post so I can start fresh with the next one. Especially because one of these has been sitting around since like, sketch dump number 2, and I kept forgetting it.
Truth be told, I have no idea what the first one is. I found it today when I opened a random photoshop file. So whatever ‘that was supposed to mean’ will remain a mystery to In-Bed!Julian for a while.
The others are a random Bashir head that just kind of is, doodle for the ~fancy dress party~ Awkward Cardassia Adventure and some kind of Bashir being dramatic and princely while Garak is just ‘wtf, i am at work’ Also random ‘wtf bashir’ Kira, who has said and done nothing but ‘wtf bashir’ in my drawings thus far.
I love sleepy “what was that supposed to mean??” Bashir. He looks so put out.
So people asked for more of this and I may have vaguely promised more of it. It’s Orphan Time~
Again, sorry for the random color splashes, and some of the grey masses on people - the paper in this book is horrible and it seeps when I watercolor on it and erases poorly. I’m doing my best to just fill it as quickly as possible, haha. The color seepage on this is actually from the New Year’s Bashir and Garak picture, though, so it’s almost appropriate?
So as I said in the last one, I’ve got focus on the other kid this time. This is the Romulan/Cardassian hybrid with the serious issues.
First on the agenda here is just a continuation of the last doodle (‘gonna catch Romulan AND DIE’) from the previous set.
Then we get into damaged kid zone.
Damaged kid, as it turns out, I accidentally named after Garak’s not-father from A Stitch in Time? When I was combining syllables to try to find something that sounded like a name, I landed on ‘Tolan’ and liked it, forgetting that it had been mentioned a glancing once, and totally out of context in the whole chapter and a half of that book I’d read. So now I need to decide if I can name this kid after the man responsible for most of Garak’s awesome, especially when this kid’s sister, Mira, has a name so close to Garak’s mother’s name. I’ve gotten really used to his name in the time it took me to realize I’d borrowed it and I don’t know what else I’d call him! But there’s the background on that, feel free to voice an opinion. For the sake of my sanity, I’m just going to use it for him for this hunk of commentary.
Also, in the event you are interested in more background on these shenanigans, the comments on the last one have a conversation between me and a friend here on dA that turns into a giant spew on my part about how some of this orphan business goes down or was thought out. It’s the one I linked to up there, check it out if you’re interested in watching me talk in long paragraphs about orphan drama even more than I am here.
AS FOR DOODLE TIME, next to the ‘contagious’ drawing is just an older head shot of this kid. The Romulan in him gives him the kind of creasing in his forehead, pointed ears, and a greenish-yellow tinge to his grey skin. He looks more Cardassian than Romulan, by far, but Cardassians would look at him and think something was off, which is totally demonstrated by Mira in the drawing below where she tells Bashir that Tolan’s face is broken, and they should get her a different non-broken new sibling. This drawing is part of a series of ‘break Bashir’s heart’ that I am apparently fixated on with regard to this kid, because that doodle, with Bashir saying ‘there’s nothing wrong with him’ makes the one on the bottom of Tolan getting angry kind of very sad.
NOW THAT I’VE LED YOU ALL AROUND THIS PAPER, the remaining drawings are him and Garak, because I needed to do some of Garak with these kids that wasn’t all >:[ I became really fond of the top one and decided to color it both because it was sweet and I thought it would be a good chance to show some skin color.
TA DAAAA ORPHAN TIME
YAY MORE CARDASSIAN WAR ORPHANS DOODLES!!!
I can’t express how much I adore these. (I would watch this show and/or read this fic in an instant.)
Okay, people asked for Cardassian war orphans. Here’s some bits of them with tiny shreds of background. Sorry about the random blobs of color. This sketchbook is utter crap and the spacebackgrounds I do leak through like five pages each.
Picture captions are your friends~! There will be more, I’m sure.
Less focus on just one kid next time, promise. Or at least focus on another one, haha.

I’m an apprentice tattoo artist. An artist who owns a few shops invited me to their team.
I’ve got a long way to go. I’m still learning basic shading techniques. Working with a tattoo pen adds depth to the traditional flat plane I’m used to working on.
One is never too old to learn a new skill.
At times I feel like a complete newb.
So, here is a meme that I love. I’m sharing it for everyone who is learning something new.
