I was thinking the same things! I like how the adjustments to the final designs were made to more closely match the actors after casting was done, with Boimler already being Jack Quaid-ish enough to not really need much change haha. I’m curious if they anticipated the characters appearing in live action like in Strange New Worlds from the start and wanted to make sure they resembled the actors enough to pull it off.
Wow, those white Rutherford, non-Bajoran “Xax,” and Latina-looking Mariner concepts are wild. Also Boimler didn’t change at all, haha.
