Sunflowers is an illo by Shelley Butler.
It was printed in Beyond Dreams #6.
Description by the Artist
—creating unusual poses like this is a terrific challenge. You’ve got to get the head position just right with the body position as well as the light and the expression (it had better not be sour!) Of course, there must be flowers. I love flowers with Kirk and Spock—bold, masculine flowers! And notice the hint of Spock’s butt… [1]
Fan Comments
I like this one even better than the cover art, mostly because I think Spock looks absolutely beautiful in this one. So peaceful. And even though they're nude, the image radiates of love rather than passion, as though this is taking place either right after lovemaking, or they are just content to be together before falling asleep. Very sweet." [2]
Boy, Shelley has drawn a great pose in this loving and tender picture. Spock and Kirk are nude, and Kirk is holding Spock in the afterglow of lovemaking. (At least that’s what I see!) What a perfect Spock body—slender, but muscular. I like how Spock has his eyes shut, and Kirk is gazing into space as he holds Spock with one arm and has one arm behind his head. Considering the story it follows, I imagine Kirk is having some serious thoughts about his and Spock’s future. [3]
