Manip - Lieutenant Kijani Uhura
Title: Lieutenant Kijani Uhura
Artist: Hakka ( prue84 )
Fandom: Star Trek (reboot)
Timeline: AOS Genderbend AU
Characters: Nyota Uhura
Rating: G
Tagline: DB Woodside as male!Uhura.
Series: Rule 63 Trek
Notes: I love DB Woodside's eyes. It's just... well, it was love at first sight since his first time in 24. The cut of his eyes (not well shown in this pic, though) reminds me of Zoe's, that's why I picked him. I know he's a little bit too old, compared to Zoe: I did my best to remove some sign of age from his face.
About the name: In "Parallel lives" (Star Trek 29/30), the male Uhura is called Nnamdi Uhuro: frankly, I have no idea if it makes sense that "Uhura" becomes "Uhuro" (does Uhura have a male form?), nor I have searched what Nnamdi means.
For a WIP of mine, way before this comic came out, I genderbent Uhura, so here's the reason for my name choice: there’s no specific male form corresponding to Nyota (“star”) but apparently the name also means “warrior”: the male name Kijani (pronunciation KEE-jah-nee) means warrior.
Tec stuffs (aka Behind The Manip): There are so few decent costumes/replicas for the uniforms out there: of these few, not all have decent quality pics and, most important, they are worn by real models and the model doesn't look ludicrous and stiff.
This one was decent enough for posture, and of good quality. Sure, pants and shoes and the undershirt are wrong, and the metal pin was a fabric patch (so I had to change it) and the phaser replica is a perfect replica but... all white (WTF??) so I had to find a pic of the real replica that could fit the particular position and was big enough to do so (nightmare indeed). But, hmm, not bad result, in the end.
