Manip - Babylon's caged le-matya

Title: Babylon's caged le-matya
Artist: Hakka ( [personal profile] prue84 )
Fandom: Star Trek (reboot)
Timeline: Mirror (2.5)
Characters: James Kirk
Rating: NC-17 (soft nude)
Tagline: Years before becoming the Empire's most known (and drolled on) Captain, James Kirk was already famous, in his own way...
Series: The Babylon's le-matya
About the manip: This manip is part of the Reboot Mirrorverse me and [livejournal.com profile] aleniakalain are slowly writing (something like almost 400 pages already written... and we're still in the boys' teen years. -.-). In this universe Jim - alongside his long-time friend Gaila - worked for some time as go-go boy at the infamous nightclub Babylon at San Francisco, where many races met and mix to have fun and get partners for the night. Spock meets him here for the first time, and one of Spock's friends will name Jim "the Babylon's le-matya". ;)
Tec stuffs (aka Behind The Manip): I spent an awful amount of hours on this and the file was sitting on my PC since... well, let's say I worked on this some weeks ago (in a marathon of like 10 hours *wristle*); I have decided to share it before I could drop it in the bin - as I always do because I'm never satisfied so... let me know what you think! ^^
Disclaimer: Don't own anything on this. Full credits below the manip itself.

I admit that it looks less ugly in black & white, but the original image was a little bit "spixelated" and even the magic tool (aka The Smudge) couldn't help. :(

And for those who don't like tattoos (or, most likely, prefer our beloved, smooth reboot Jim), the tattooless version. ^^

ohh i really wanted to read it!!

maybe you can do a short version of the 3 books for a big bang? like a story summary?? in 15K, 5K per book *puppy eyes* it would serve you as map *Kirk“s eyes*

and i love the tattoo of xii now that i understand it!

i wonder what Spock will say to the people so they stop wondering what it is?

There's no way to do a "summary" version. Every chapter is there for a reason, though the reader will understand it only after a re-reading. ^^" For the moment we have something like 700+ pages, so you may see how it would be impossible. :P Besides that, we already have our hands full with the main story, we cannot afford to put that aside for anything else. :)

That's an interesting thing to ponder about... I don't know, perhaps he will go all Spockish and order people to stop gossiping about the Captain, followed by a Eyebrow of Doom. Who knows... :-?
