Very cool! Nice to see original Star Trek art that hasn't just been 
modified from existing pictures.

The viewing angle is different too, it definitely stands out from the
other ST artwork I've seen.

K'Pla' ! (Or however you spell the Klingon word for success!)

It's going into my archive, that's always a good sign. :)

Bear in mind that the following is intended as constructive
criticism only. This is very good stuff.

It's K't'inga (just missing an 'i'). It also can't he head-on as
the neck is horizontal. While boring, the traditional "neckless"
view is accurate... for head on. Lengthen the body a bit more to
make it at an angle like the head, and it'll be perfect.

Looks good. Suggestion: you can make the lines a bit less jagged
by using something like these:

|  '  /,   /    /    ,'        ,-'       _,-'              __,--'
|  |  /   /   /'   ,'       ,-'      _,-'            __,--'
|  | /,  /   /   ,'      ,-'     _,-'          __,--'
| '  /  /  /'  ,'     ,-'    _,-'        __,--'
| | /, /  /  ,'    ,-'   _,-'      __,--'
| | / / /' ,'   ,-'  _,-'    __,--'
|' /,/ / ,'  ,-' _,-'  __,--'
|| ///',' ,-'_,-'__,--'
||///,',-',-',--'

For even more slanted lines, just use more horizontal segments.
On my display, tildes ('~') are not very good "top-lines', and
are more like squiggly dashes, so I tend to avoid them if possible.

This is one where the slanted lines would really come in handy..

Great start! Looking forward to more...
