Commission Special
Here is the current commission special, available until Dec. 20th, 2024. This is for a character portrait in the style of the animated series Star Trek: Lower Decks, including a prop, and no limitation to species of affiliation to Star Trek canon, for $20.
Full details: “Trekkie on your gift list? I’m offering Star Trek: Lower Decks-style cartoon portraits including a prop for only $20. These are full-color illustrations and can be based on OCs, or I can draw you (yes, you!) as a member of Starfleet. Turn yourself or a friend into a cartoon. Any species, any division, you’re not locked to Starfleet either. Visit hpkomics.com/commissions for general commission info and contact information.”
If you are interested, contact me and mention the Lower Decks commission special for us to get the ball rolling.
Please note that I am not affiliated with the show, I just enjoy drawing in the style.
