Manip - Embracing the Vulcan culture
Title: Embracing the Vulcan culture
Artist: Hakka ( prue84 )
Fandom: Star Trek (reboot)
Pairing: Spock/Uhura
Characters: Nyota Uhura, Spock.
Rating: G
Tagline: Spock and Uhura in Vulcan clothes.
About the manip: After the events of Altamid, Spock and Uhura decide to take a sabbatical year on New Vulcan while waiting for the Enterprise-A to be ready to sail again. And Uhura embraces the Vulcan culture - and couture.
Notes: Something thrown together in three hours for Uhuramonth because I discovered it was up, seen that in two days there was AOS!Uhura/Ships theme, and I really wanted to participate despite my "no manips to be rushed" policy. Cheers to me!
Double cheers because I gave up to make this manip in 2020 when I discovered the two Zoe Saldana fansite I used to get her pics were either gone or started from scratch and their big galleries gone.
Notes 2: Yes, I know, that's Yorktown in the background. Don't care.
Spock and Uhura taking a sabbatical year is adressed in IDW's series Star Trek: Boldy Go.
Tec stuffs (aka Behind The Manip): I do hate Zach, he's got big brows so transfom him into Spock is a nightmare, and he has too few Spock promo pics, and the ones he got (99% coming from Star Trek (2009)) are so photoshop-brushed that they're ugly. And yes, I had to use one of those. Meh. So I can see he's not the right Spock for the time setting I decided for the manip, as you can see he's a 7-years-early Zachary. Sigh. I know, might be just me, and a Spuhura fan might not care, and just enjoy the piece (thank you!), but I'm anal. Forgive me.
Anyway, it's been trickier than you might think, to fix Zoe's face: she was over-light in her pic, and I had to remove those light points, and then fix the Vulcan-woman's hairpiece on her, and that damn lock! All the while, Zachary has no light points, I did what I could but light/shadows aren't my strong manips points.
All in all, it doesn't look as bad as initially looked to me. Although Zoe looks like she's playing a Japanese in traditional costumes. *lol*
Disclaimer: Don't own anything on this.
The Vulcan couple of the pic are two background characters who appeared in the Yorktown set.
