Good to see someone start this off 
But if it ends up pear-shaped I definately think you should try again because I can't remember ever considering Nimoy OR Spock "pear shaped" 
I think you have a good likeness but Nimoy does have (or did, I guess) a rather long face and your portrait so far is more "normally proportioned".

Nice start Valence, I was thinking if I joined in this would do a pic of spock from the Voyage Home. ( I might skip this month to finally have a finished thread tho 
) I love the look Spock has with a bandana on, was going to get creative and make him really punk rockin. One of my favorite moments involving Spock was this one when he makes the guy shut off the music, also included a painting of spock and kirk to give some ideas.

Dom: Thankfully The Ballad Of Bilbo Baggins was a bit before my time so I'm happy to veer away from that.
I want the actual portrait to be a straight forward one and to stay close to the ref (in a painterly way) because I think it's a lovely photo that has a kind of sadness to the eyes. There's always something powerful about the gaze of an older person and I'd like to capture and keep that if I'm able.
The theme will come in to the background and I have an idea about something that will involve a space scene while also referencing Spock in a way that I hope will be poignant. However that'll be the last thing I do so I'm not worrying about it just yet. Plus I want to keep my options open if it all turns out to be beyond my skill level.

Geeky (or is it nerdy?... Maybe dweeby...) factoid, the punk getting nerve pinched in that scene is associate producer of the film, Kirk Thatcher, also known for writing and directing a load of Muppet films among other things.

Technically I think that classifies as nerdy, but it's both bizzare and cool to know.

Because I just saw it now at the moment: the link which should link to this WIPthread links to the finals... ? ^^
Valence this is a good start! I agree with Charlotte that his face could be a bit longer.... but anyway I know you'll correct this little mistake at the end

I intentionally linked it to the finals thread because I have always perceived that as being THE challenge thread as it is where the entries go, where the voting takes place, and where the winner is announced. The WIP thread has always been an offshoot of that. It probably stems from the fact that the original IFX challenges that these are a spiritual cousin of began without compulsory WIPs, and all the challenge details were posted in the finals thread.
Others obviously see it differently (you aren't the first to mention the link goes to the WIP thread), so I guess it will probably direct people to the WIP thread in future. Details and links to other threads are in the opening post of the finals thread anyway so people can find their way here pretty easily.
