Tagline: Grace Kelly as Admiral Jean Kirk, Stardate 2284.
Series: Rule 63 Trek
Notes: Just for nerds, apparently. In The Wrath of Khan, the braid was black/gold checks. From The Voyage Home, the braid was changed with a patterned ribbon that had been seen on admiral maroon since then. Despite working from a generic pre-Wrath of Khan timesetting, I decided to stick with the latter.
Notes 2: Final touches given back in July 2022 (7th). It was held back because I had the utopic dream of combine it with Spock's in an OMS Wives manip. Since it's akin to impossible with this specific pics I used...
Notes 3: The PSD file is dated May 2016 but it might predate the coping of the files on this new computer, so I might have started this in a previous date.
For the sake of anal archiving, I might update this note when/if I turn the old PC on and check the original creation date of the file.
Tec stuffs (aka Behind The Manip): Who remembers the hurdle of doing this! I can just say it was definitely harder to change a lieutenant's uniform to the one of an admiral (different colors of collar and other details).
Disclaimer: Don't own anything on this. Full credits below the manip itself.
No AI involved, just Photoshop CS2.

I can't pull up a complete list of the images used because back when I did this piece I didn't keep track of the original pics I used for the pieces I needed to turn Saavik's uniform into Kirk's.
Recent changes include a new version of the admiral cross pin on the sleeve and the patterned braid, both taken from Kirk's original prop uniform sold at Heritage 2010 (pic from
Propworx).
