Giftart for Mawaridi!

Title: Keep Them Closed
Gift for: mawaridi
Artist: charpieinuse
Rating: PG-13
Fandom: Star Trek Reboot (2009)
Artist's Notes: This was fun for me to do since I've never done femslash before. While I'm generally a UhuraSpock or Spock/Kirk fan, I could see Gaila talking her into this and Uhura somehow take over (being the dominate woman that she is). I hope you enjoy this despite the coloring and weird anatomy. I'm still learning how to properly color and shade.
Summary: What could result after Uhura and Gaila go out drinking. All Gaila's idea; Uhura decides to play along~

Why don't I have any Uhura or Gaila icons???

Eee! It's for me! Oh Mystery Artist, I can't tell you how awesome it was to get this today, which has not been a great day for me, but is now ending on a much brighter note. I love it!!

And not despite the colouring but because of the colouring; the jewel-bright colours of Gaila's skin and hair and that awesome purple background really make the whole thing pop. It's all so warm and intimate. I love the shine on Gaila's knee and hair and that darker green blush on her cheek. I love Uhura's half-lidded eye and the hand on Gaila's face - dominant like you said, because Uhura totally wears the pants in every relationship, but really tender as well. And Gaila's hands fisted in the sheets and and and, oh it's lovely, really, thank you :D You're doing great with the shading, by the way (I particularly love the shadows around Gaila's back/waist/hip area, totally soft and sexy).

Also, how much do I love that they're wearing the same "outfits" from that scene in the movie with Kirk under the bed?? Uhura's sensible white bra may be the most adorable thing ever :D

Thanks so much, Mystery Artist, you're awesome! <3

Mmm, have to say, I really like this idea. (There is never, never enough femslash.) I really love how happy they both look! Posing's nice too, and I like the way Gaila's already holding onto those sheets. ;)

The colors here are AWESOME. And they both look so happy!

I am getting more and more into Gaila fic and this is helping me along! Very cute and playful...

[slash4femme.livejournal.com]

this is gorgeous. Just Gorgeous.

I love the colors and the characters' expressions!

Gaila is so adorably seductive, and Uhura looks like a kid in the proverbial candy store. YUM.

GUH. I love the coloring in this. Gaila's hands gripping the sheets is such a great detail. Wonderful picture!

[ani-bester.livejournal.com]

pretty, very pretty, the pose is so tender and sweet. Great job! Love the pose and you know the lighting on this just adds to the tenderness of this all.

How very cute! I like how young and fun this is, I think it really captures the Starfleet Academy idea. And yay, you did away with the awful seams on Uhura's bra cup, thank god.

OMG! FEMMESLASH IN ONE OF MY FAV FANDOMS!! this is so totally adorable and hot!! omg!! I love it!! guh. the shading is divine and the colors are beautiful. love it.

Oh boy do I love this pairing. I love the vividness of the colouring (if you've got a character basically made out of red and green, I think vivid is the best option) and the friendly kind of hotness to the athmosphere. Mmm those clenched fists.

Always thumbs up for Uhura/Gaila! I especially like the obvious glee and delight going on between them, two happy slightly sloshed women finding happiness in each other. The fondness comes right off the picture and the colours are amazing. Great job!

First off, I'm thrilled for the femslash -- there's never enough femslash in this fandom (or any fandom, really). Now, onto the picture. I love, love, love the bright colors in this - it really matches the pairing. I love the blush on both of their faces, which I assume is both from being turned on and because they're both slightly tipsy. I love Gaila's expression of pure trust and joy, and being in the moment.

NAWWWWW this is so CUTE!! I love how Gaila is gripping the sheets in willful anticipation and Uhura is taking charge (because, well. She's Uhura, ahahah) and also so full of genuine affection for her green friend. Your cartoony style just makes this even more delightful!

[dualbunny.livejournal.com]

This is so sweet, but little touches like Gaila's hands grasping the sheets really make it sexy too. I also love your choice of outfits--it's not hard to imagine a new end to that scene now. ;D
