I think the skin color and hair style do more for his look TBH

He looks better in the right-hand photo because it's heavily altered. The hairstyle actually appears to be (mostly?) original, but the skin tone was definitely changed. Here it is side by side with the original image (source):

The secret ingredient on the right side is money. That's the face of someone who sits out on the deck of their private yacht all afternoon, after playing 18 holes at the country club in the morning.

Naw, the guy on the left is real and has a net worth of ~$165 billion dollars. The guy on the right is a digital creation. If money could make Zuckerberg look like the guy on the right, he probably would have done it already.

Now that someone else has given him the idea he might run with it. I guess we'll see in the next few years

I don't think so. I think there's some Trump effect going on with with what's his face. Like all the money in the world won't cure personal traumas.

He still needs to do something about those dead-fish, soulless eyes...

Maybe put a beard on them?

One of the problems with his eyes is that the sclera are not white, but flesh toned. The same weird flesh tone as his face skin. This gives the impression that his face is paler than it is, and also that his eyes are only as big as his irises.

They are the eyes of an inhuman(e) creature - o-o-oh yeah, the flesh toned thing too:-P.

Skin not being the colour of Greek yogurt will do wonders for one's humanity.

Maybe Dr Soong was a big Simpsons fan. It was probably still going strong well into the 2300s.

  1. Get natural Vitamin D

  2. Put some product in your hair. Moose, bull semen, wax...

These are how a freakish nerd suddenly looks normie. Prob the easiest $230K a year PR job you can get, but it took a decade and a while for them to convince.

/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.

~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.

~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'

~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.

Fun will now commence.
