YES, there really are some people liking both Star Trek and Babylon 5 (don't scream, I like Star Wars too *grins*) ... and the Minbari always were my favorite race at Bab 5, so I drew them. [black ink]

i prefer the narns(or narn ship designs rather)myself.

Well, you know, Minbari are the alter-egos of Vulcans. But Bab 5 has more character than Star Trek. 2
I love your renderings! You are very good.

:-) Gloria H. Manderfeld replies: "Mh, I wouldn't say Bab 5 has more character, it is better planned than Star Trek, ST is grown over years, Bab 5 has a more logical episode-composition and character work, 'cause the authors stay long time at their work. And thanx for the compliments 12"

Very nicely done. I love B5 and particuarly the Mimbari and the Rangers (or should I say the Entil' Zah.) There really isn't enough B5 art in the Wood.

Keep up the wonderful work.

I have to agree that after us the minbari are the best race its as if they have some dark secret or something. Neroon has to be my favourite though i even made his costume 2 years ago can't find it now though and i'm more into stargate sg1 but in trekkie and b5 terms b5 is better cos the stories follow on and link unlike startrek which is disjointed and hard to follow

B5 is better than ST partly because of MJS and partly because of much better characterisations. I wouldn't say that the mimbari are anything like Vulcans, in fact, they are the complete opposite, guided by spirituality and emotion. They were very cool but often came across as 'superior' and condescending.

Very nice picture btw 1

Hey, another one liking both star trek AND B5? Nice picture, I really LOVE the Minbari! You captured them well!
Ah, btw...I like Star Wars, too!

I LOVE Babylon 5 and Star Trek. Ambassador Delenn is my absolute FAVORITE B5 character (next to Ivanova of course!). I wish B5 was still being aired and I wish TNT hadn't botched the production of Crusades. Rather reminded me of Roddenberry's fight with NBC back in the day. Why on earth can't networks realize that they should just stay OUT of the "creative process" of certain stories/series? Crusades was just becoming really, really good when it got yanked! Oh well. Great picture!
