I did this one mainly for the fashion design, hence I didn't do anything with the pose here: this is an idea of what a Cardassian man might wear in a cooler climate--that is, cooler in their and my view (i.e. that of a semi-cold-blooded individual!
).
This is a jacket that might be worn in the autumn months, in temperatures from about 55-75 F (13-24 C). The style is one often seen on the frontier outworlds of the Cardassian Union as opposed to the more urban, long-settled planets: the dead giveaway is the prominence of the fur lining. While the fur lining isn't that thick in the case of an autumn jacket, the key to understanding this fashion is that it conveys the image that the wearer is comfortably warm...considering there are few things Cardassians hate worse than being cold, I figured that would be the primary emphasis in such a design.
You can only tell somewhat from this, since it's in pencil, but his hair is rather lighter than normal, with something of a mahogany/cherry hue, a recessive trait that emerges once in awhile in his family.

Interesting design, I like how the jacket has sort of different sections to it :)
(And although you didn't do anything with the pose, if you turned the palms of the hands inwards he might look more natural. It can also be helpful if you just want to get the 'pose' out of the way - because less of the hands would be visible and that can make it easier to draw them quickly)
