Title: At the farm - 03
Artist: Hakka ( prue84 )
Fandom: Star Trek (reboot)
Timeline: Mirror (2.5)
Pairing: Kirk/Spock
Characters: James Kirk, Spock
Rating: G
About the manip: Spock joins Jim in his captain-slash-mate attempt at be a good captain and do some PR, as per Starfleet gentle orders.
Series: Third shot from the "At the farm" series, started here. See there for more notes.
Notes: Oh dear, Spock here's too beefy to be a Spock, even if a warrior Spock...
Notes #2: Spock's tattooes are Vulcan insigna called terseht, tattooes every Vulcan warriors earns when winning a fight and raising throught the Vulcan males' hierarchy, usually made on the upper body where skin is more likely to be shown. On his right pec there is his clan's crest.
Notes #3: Obviously Jim and Spock don't share a tattoo with my name. XD XD
Tec stuffs (aka Behind The Manip): Originally, both bases were to be turned into Jim manips to follow the "At the farm" series. However, I didn't find a decent Chris Pine face that would come with the "quite unique" - and fucking bastard - angle of the model's face. I decided then to see if Zachary Quinto was nicer and cooperated. Surprise, he did: exactly the damn fucking bastard angle! Love you, Zach! XD
Ok, so I went and manipped Spock, which took me a shameful too little time, even with the whole add-Spock-features bit.
I then go to the next one, as I'm all "let's do that other one with Jim". and I have the idea to try and see if I could paste them as one, instead of two stand-alone pieces. I had to build from scratch the missing part of Jim horse's nose, which was duh, and the lights on Jim are a little bit different from the ones on Spock, but... yeah, it's not that I will ever be totally satisfied so I decided to just go and post it before I could change my mind. :D

About the manip: This manip is part of the Reboot Mirrorverse me and aleniakalain are slowly writing together.
Jim's doing some photoshooting session for a magazine (one of his duties as captain is to do a little PR now and then, mostly when the Empire orders him), so here you have, the first shot of Captain Kirk chilling out at the former-Kirk's farm, with one his favorite activities: bonding with horses. :D
In our mirror universe, Jim had a childhood different from his J.J.Abrams counterpart (first of all, George hadn't died the day of Jim's birth). During childhood, Jim bonded with grandpa Tiberius' horses, especially with a wonderful Friesian named Goliath, to the point that he was almost tempted to inherit grandpa's business in breeding horses. Now, I'm fairly aware the horse in the photo is nowhere a Fresian, so Jim's not posing with Goliath or his sons.
Series: Yep, there are others coming. I have one already finished, plus two other images ready to be manipped.
Tec stuffs (aka Behind The Manip) I feel the need to explain the odd coloring. Have you ever seen a vintage postcard, which images were originally shot in b&w to then be hand-colored? Well, I started trolling playing a bit just for fun with colors (especially to see if I could improve the low quality of the original image) and I loved how it turned out, so I decided to keep it.
I can see that, two centuries from now, some vintage (ancient) filter could be used just for an original touch to the shots.
Tec stuffs (aka Behind The Manip) #2: Do not ask me how I managed to partially hide the fact the original model was mildly haired on chest and belly...
