Embracing the Vulcan culture Fandom: Star Trek (reboot)Timeline: AOS (2.0) 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. 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. 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* Credits The Vulcan couple of the pic are two background characters who appeared in the Yorktown set.Zoe Saldana from CNET magazine, summer 2016.
