so if someone was theoretically going to write a fic based off of the tags on that one very excellent garashir artwork you did... what would be a suitable villain role and/or scheme for garak to play? i know basically nothing about spy media and even less about james bond. i googled "most homoerotic james bond villain" and that was interesting but not helpful for this scenario... idk i want to really do this justice so i figured i could ask, since you came up with the idea in the first place and i guess that means this is a gift for you? and everyone else who liked that piece? thank you for your time :)
this is SUCH a charming question to receive!!! it's an honor that my art might inspire others to create! that said, here is my advice: i think you should follow your heart, mainly! i say this to everyone about everything but its very true, with writing especially, i think, you might want to write things that are especially interesting to you so that its exciting to keep going with them
personally, i don't watch a lot of spy media, i disliked james bond as a kid and i still dislike him now, so the character archetypes and plots from that wouldn't interest me enough to write a fanfic off of—i could read ds9 fic based off of them easily bc i love the ds9 characters!!! but. i couldn't write like that. therefore, i can't give you useful answers from that canon. i can give you this, but i don't know if it will be helpful: i think i would first start with the question—what about garak excites you? what puts you on the edge of your seat with him? what about julian—what actions do you like to see him take? what decisions of his make you giddy? how do you like to dig into his character? how do you like to dig into garak's? if you write down the answers to your question, it becomes the puzzle of how you can get everything you want out of the fic. the beautiful thing about the holosuite is that anything can happen at all, and while you're telling a spy story, it doesn't have to all be spy tropes. you could, if you wanted, play out a shakespeare play (your favorite shakespeare play, assuming you don't hate them all) as if it were a spy thriller! Sure, what's Twelfth Night as a spy thriller? We already have many characters playing with the fluidity of identity, going by different names, taking on different roles, gaining trust and acting on their own best interests. Just raise the stakes a little. is this insane? i feel insane. is it worth anything? i hope so. my ending point is: i am not so good at writing advice! i'm a much better drawer than a worder, but it's a gift already that you've said my art has motivated your desire to create!!!!!!!!! from there on—don't worry about what i want at all, don't worry about doing my work justice!!! take what excites you about the idea, take what excites you from your own ideas, and build it into something that makes you giddy to work on!!! i believe in you, and you have the world at your fingertips!!!!!!

I don't know much about ds9 but your art easpily your use of water colours I find gorgeous.
hey, thank you :^D! watercolors are a tricky medium sometimes, but i love them, and i'm so flattered whenever somebody else likes the way that i use them. it was really sweet of you to take the time to tell me!
as for ds9, while i love drawing and painting julian bashir, kira, garak, and others, its only one of my many interests, and this is a general purpose art blog, so there'll hopefully be other art subjects here to enjoy as well

first draft nearly done! pretty excited with it. personal sewing progress notes below the cut for anyone interested:
i had to do a couple of alterations to this pattern to get it to fit me post top-surgery, so i've done a practical muslin/draft of it with some materials i had around that don't LOOK similar but have similar properties to the materials i will be using for the actual major kira cosplay—
that's also why it's short sleeved! no point wasting more fabric than i have to when it's the shoulders that worried me, not the forearms or wrists.
i've never had to ease a sleeve-cap into a armhole before, and if you look at some of the pinching where the sleeve meets the shoulder, you can tell.
i also brought the shoulders in too close to the throat in the front, which creates a strong tension there, as well as a bit of a strangeness in the back, but the actual bust deletion adjustments worked fucking excellently, and despite the errors it fits well enough to wear.
:^D i'm happy with it. even with the colors being off, looking in the mirror and seeing a bit of kira in there is really fun :^)

[ID: seven photos showing all angles of a bright, patchwork drawstring-bag, made primarily of linen and cotton scraps, most blank but bright colored (bright pink, yellow, sky-blue) and some with geometric or floral patterns. it's stitched with metallic, shiny rainbow thread.
/end ID]
i used a bunch of fabric scraps to make this little bag, its a very lax project done in a few hours, and my first time doing anything patchwork. i'm pretty happy with it :^D

It was mentioned in Una McCormack's "The Crimson Shadow" that Cardassians grew fond of coffee and I think it is totally true. Also so-called ikri buns were mentioned. But the catalyst for me to draw this picture, however, was a scene that my mom saw in the street: an ambulance stopped near ice-cream stand and two EMTs went there to buy ice cream. We agreed that this certainly had Bashir & Parmak vibes and I got so inspired that literally next day drew THIS. The Cardassian version of ice-cream stand, but with buns and coffee, ambulance skimmer and two very serious doctors while on duty. And I wonder what else do they sell in such stands... Any ideas on Cardassian street-food? :) UPD: Now with fragments under cut!

Hi, just wanted to tell you, your pencil art is art goals for me! I feel like your style is already kinda similar to mine and you draw expressions so well and just little portraits without a load of detail still look so perfect!!! I am going to study it under a microscope now, thank you so much! <3
that's so sweet!!!! thank you so much for saying so :^D! i hope you're able to find something useful in my art, and that have a lot of fun with your studies in general and that you enjoy the directions your art takes you!
