Title: I.S.S. Enterprise: the golden Captain
Artist: Hakka ( prue84 )
Fandom: Star Trek (reboot)
Timeline: AOS Mirror AU
Characters: James Kirk
Rating: G
Tagline: In a mirror universe closer to the mirrorverse canon, how Captain Jim Kirk could look like.
Series: Mirrored crew
Notes: I have worked on this some months ago, then left it alone because I wasn't getting the result I wanted to. My hope was to do something inspired by 4aab's concept here but, no matter how I tried, I was unable to use the green shirt to get what I had in mind. A couple of weeks ago I decided I was going to finish this by finding/adding the mirror TOS insignia and awards. The result gave me another idea (that I will hopefully finish in the near future, by the way) and the manip was once again left in a corner waiting. Four, five days ago I decided that I was going to post it and the hell with it. A couple of days ago I returned to the initial idea (the long neckline). And, just when I decided that I was going to give the neckline a try again (just not now)... I see Petimetrek's post about the Mirrorweek. I should kill her but, actually, this rushing made me found the will to finish this piece so... thank you, Peti. ^^"
Notes 2: Awards are gold, if you remember your TOS right but, since in AOS the insignia and ranks are silver, I decided to turn the awards in silver as well.
Notes 3: For me it's an AU because my headcanon mirror reboot is different in looks (and, clearly, in setting).
Tec stuffs (aka Behind The Manip): Initially I wanted to use the green shirt but, since I failed (after loosing too many hours, obviously), I had to resort to the movie uniform. Then... well, I'm stubborn and the idea of have the green-shirt-like neckline was still in my mind. I managed to do it by using the original neckline of the tunic: don't ask how, it was a nightmare, but I'm pretty pleased of the result.
The original TOS insignia is awful, let me tell you: I hated since I started to cut it so, when I found the metallic one (inspired by the Empire logo one seen in Enterprise), I immediately decided to scrap the TOS one and use this.
