Awesome photomanips

 

[Wingsley]

The pinup photo is a hoot.

I'm not sure what to make of the "foursome" image. You're mixing "prime Universe" and "JJverse" actors together? I think it would be more interesting to see that younger lady (Jennifer Garner?) you photomanipped into becoming "Number One".

 

[fleetcaptain]

Awesome. Love both of them. The foursome is kind of funny through. I have to agree through, would be nice to see Garner since you did have her as Number One.

 

[Tara]

I always use Garner as fancasting for my work, but the OT4 image was done for a series of Round Robin stories by several writers, hence using Majel (since she's the only actor to play Number One in canon).

 

[Bry_Sinclair]

Ok, wow!

Amazing work Tara. I love the Pike and Number One images, makes me wish they'd actually made the series with them in charge.

If anyone can help me, I was going through referrer logs at Photobucket and apparently the Number One pin-up image above got hotlinked at myspace.com via a tool called "Coolchaser.com" on March 2nd.

I'm trying to find out where? I am pretty sure if had to be someone from this board... any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated!

 

[Tara]

Sorry for the long hiatus! It was unintentional. Here are some of my latest manips from 'Ship Wars "Fairy Tale" challenge:

The Snow Queen


The Goosegirl


and an illustration for Boosette's story "Bring The Mountain To":

 

[Data Holmes]

Could you do that last one with Garner and Greenwood?

 

[Tara]

I'll see what I can do! It all depends on what hi-res stock I can find of the actors.

 

[Data Holmes]

Wow, didn't expect that fast of a response.

Anyway, no rush. I do love your work, by the way.

 

[Kaiser]

very awesome new art

 

[Tara]

Still working on manips and such... but in the meantime, I've been playing with dolls.

Gaila:

First go at a custom Uhura Prime:

When Universes collide!

The final result (different base doll):

All of my Uhuras together:

 

[Kaiser]

very cool

 

[Tara]

I have one last attempt at a custom TOS Uhura left, and then I think I have to stop with the crazy doll obsession. But I had ridiculous amounts of fun this spring with Plastic People. I think I have maybe one doll left to customise (TOS Spock, so the Uhura I'm actually keeping isn't lonely) and then I'm done done done.

I am thinking that I'd make customs for others, tho, especially Gailas, now that I've pretty much got the hang of it.

 

[Tara]

Remember how i was stopping customising doll?

Yeah.

So having made-over a half-dozen Queen of Hearts dolls into Number One in Star Trek (2009) continuity, I finally laid hands on a Tango from the FAO Schwartz gift set to be made over into Majel Barrett's Number One from "The Cage".

Clearly, Pike approves!

 

[Tara]

And just for kicks...

I actually got retweeted by Nichelle Nichols when I posted that to my twitter. It was quite a day! Alas, she still needs to go back up on ebay.

 

[Shaw]

Are you making these uniforms yourself? They look awesome!

 

[Tara]

Alas, I have no sewing machine. The AOS uniforms for Uhura and Gaila come from the officially licenced 2009 dolls by Mattel. TOS Operations red uniforms come from a Barbie Star Trek anniversary box set from 1996, and Number One's uniform tunic came from a 9" Pike figure, and I made the collar. I'll have better pics of her next week as I'm waiting for her new body to come so she can wear her ring, and I got her a new tunic without the stain below the Enterprise delta.

ETA: I actually have, erm... WAY more Trek dolls now than I did when I first started posting snaps. Including a custom Gaila, Boyce, Cait Barry, Colt, Rand, and a 1:6 scale diorama of Pike's ranch in Mojave. So I'll update eventually with more pics!
