Graphic + Manip - Mom's pride

Jan 04, 2017 20:59

Title: Mom's pride
Artist: Hakka ( prue84 )
Fandom: Star Trek (reboot)
Characters: James Kirk, the Kirk family
Rating: G
Tagline: Winona Kirk's tweet for Jim's 29th birthday.
Series: Tweets from the Enterprise
About the manip: Momma Kirk is very proud of her puppy.
Notes: More about the Human!Enterprise here.
Notes 2: I meant this one to be set after Beyond events, but I'd have to change the uniforms in the avatars so... no, thank you.
Anyway, Gaila has become part of the Enterprise crew in 2262.335, according to the comic books, but let's forget this detail, shall we?
Notes 3: One of the name given to her in the past by official-not-canon material was Marjorie Wimpole. I kept it as second name.
I come from a country (Italy) where the wife doesn't and can't take the husband's surname (I woman I knew signed her checks with her husband's name, but that's it. Legally, you have the surname with which you were registered at birth). This to say that a part of me cannot accept the whole "Winona Kirk" thing, because she should just be Winona Davis (apparently that's her surname) or, if ever, Winona Davis Kirk.
With the kind of past she has, I would never see her keeping the "Kirk" surname, especially because she would never want to draw attention on herself and her tragedy.
Notes 4: I decided to turn the manip into a part of the Twitter series because, as stand alone, it sucked. It's not bad, but I just wasn't satisfied by the final result with the Iowan background: the finished piece just looks... fake?
Notes 5: Edit modified in July 2020. Replaced a Tumblr fancasting (Gina Torress) with Discovery/Strange New Worlds's Number One, Rebecca Romijn. To me the two shows above are closer to the Reboot than the TOS: Majel Barrett's Number One will always be the only TOS Number One, Rebecca is and will be my AOS Number One.
Tec stuffs (aka Behind The Manip): Background coming from a (dropped) wip manip of mine, in which Jim Kirk was posing with the Kirk farm in the background. Composed by the construction and other three pics merged together.
Funny, though, that - months later - I've seen the same farm used as the Kirk farm in an "official" comic book (a memory of Spock Prime going to visit Jim's grave in Riverside. The prequel to ST XI perhaps?). XD
