Kai Winn

Slowly but surely I'm trying to get back to drawing more, but the series of unexpected events in both my work and private life just keep piling up so I'm not sure how it'll turn out. 🙄

Apart from the Inktober challenge, this is the month for spooky drawings leading up to Halloween, of course, so I chose some... villains? OK, maybe more like anti-heroes or annoying characters that aren't real villains per se, but they often challenge the heroes or main characters in movies, TV shows, anime etc. Anyway, there are many blurred lines when it comes to defining fictional villains today and some of them have become fans' favourites (Joker, Loki, Darth Vader, Harley Quinn, Ryuk etc.).

My first choice is a religious leader Winn Adami (or Kai Winn) from Star Trek: Deep Space 9. It may seem unexpected and many of you may not know anything about this character, but the actress Louise Fletcher died last week so I remembered one of her most famous roles and how furious I was every time she appeared in an episode. As the Trekkies say, "Kai Winn is someone who we love to hate" and Mrs Fletcher played this role to perfection. I can still hear her famous condescending line "My child...", especially in interactions with Major Kira. She wasn't the real villain, but she managed to stir things up on both Bajor and DS9. And we all know someone like her - at first look they're nice smiling people but they often push their own agenda by tricking other people into believing they're doing the right thing and support their views, especially when it comes to politics.

As for the costume, there are a few, but I chose the scarlet one. I believe she's more famous for her golden costume and you'll find it more often if you google her name, but I liked this one more because of the details and its more interesting headpiece.
