Description

STXI - Pencil line work with digital coloring. August 2009.

Inspired by Sidara's fic Subtracting the Stars [link] this isn't a scene from the story but rather a reinterpretation. In her brilliant story, immediately following the final battle in the movie Jim works himself to the edge for the sake of the ship and crew, and I believe at some point McCoy renders him unconscious for the sake of his health. I was inspired to show the aftereffects and in doing so, I was struck by the dichotomy of the advanced medical equipment in the med bay contrasted to a subconscious effort on McCoy's part to gauge Kirk's physical condition through a simple reassuring touch.

At least, that's what I was going for.

This is fantastic. I love it when I accidentally stumble across real art gems like this one. I love the look of concern on McCoy's face. Well done!! :clap:
