Nyota Uhura sporting a mohawk.I stumbled upon a pic of Kelly Palcy some months ago (Oh, hell, fucking September) with this awesome hairstyle and I wanted to have Uhura to have it too.
Not sure if I was inspired to her works (I probably didn’t even remember her post by the time I found the picture), but definitely dedicated to @rachaelstott because she did these awesome sketches of Cadet Uhura with some different hairstyles.
I know Uhura is not the least being a punk here. I gave the manip this title because 1) I didn’t know how else to call it, 2) to pair it with the Captain Jim Punk Kirk I made in the 2014. :D
Actually, she could definitely sport this hairstyle everyday on the bridge.Tec stuffs (aka Behind The Manip): Does this look simple manip? Well, it wasn’t. Besides the damn lighting of the ST promo pics, the model wasn’t really by profile and finding a Zoe that fit was a mission impossible so, in the end, I had to resort to old Uhura’s promos.
Also, sorry for the very heavy abuse of shadows but Kelly Palcy’s pic was of low quality and I had to mask it somehow. :(

Black History No. 6 - Star Trek: The Original Series, is one of my favorite shows of all time. It also was consistently breaking social and political barriers throughout its 3 seasons. Always fighting for an equality among all and focusing on the expansion of knowledge and discovery. The first interracial kiss on American network television is attributed to the 1968 episode of Star Trek, “Plato’s Stepchildren” between Nichelle Nichols and William Shatner. Also, whether it’s Nichols or Saldana, Lieutenant Uhura was always a fox.

"I tried to put into Uhura the qualities that I admire and demand of myself. Then I tried to develop the kind of person who would be entrusted with that kind of responsibility. She’s head of all communications on that ship, so she’s not just there pushing buttons. Those buttons are talking to people down in the bowels of the ship…For her or anyone to be entrusted with that kind of responsibility, I felt she had to have a strength and a dignity and a command of authority very much like Spock has."- Nichelle Nichols in The Official Star Trek Fan Club Magazine, Issue 51 (1986) [x] (via trekkiefeminist)
