Below is the first-draft specifications I delivered to the artists I hired for the art assets. It was very vague at first and I think my next go-round will include some sketches of what I want. Maybe if I can sketch it well enough, I won't need artists, but we'll see.
I need one image for this project. You may choose from any
member of the crew, in the pose and with the prop listed. Reference images will be
provided. Each image should be in a minimalist style; no shading, no facial
expressions (except where noted otherwise).
Characters can be identified by
their shirt colors, hairstyles, skin tone, and rank braids on their sleeves,
all of which should be provided in reference images for that character. Most
characters will have a prop, which should also have an attached reference
image, if necessary.
We’d like it if all images could be used for ad banners,
social media icons, or other uses. This means transparent formats and
appropriate resolutions/formats. Most of these images should be vertical,
except for Chief Engineer Scott’s.
Please contact me if you have any questions.
Kirk stands in a heroic pose
reminiscent of a samurai. A broken tree branch is his sword.

3) Commander Spock
The image of Spock is that of the
actor who plays him, Leonard Nimoy, in Spock regalia. He has a relaxed pose,
leaning along an unpictured fence. His right arm trails away from us, holding a
cigarette. Closer to use he’s reading a fan letter in his right hand. He is the
only character with a facial expression and he’s smiling.

4) Chief Engineer Scott
Scotty is in a literal Mad Men pose. Instead of reclining on
a couch, he's leaning on one of the red guardrails of the bridge, facing away
from us. His image is horizontal instead of vertical like everyone elses'. His
left arm is stretched out holding the drink while is right arm is folded in,
hiding his hand. (The rails are not actually high enough to reach up to
someone’s back, but it’s okay.)

5) Lieutenant Sulu
He’s shrugging and holding a smoking revolver in his left
hand because WTF, Sulu?

6) Yeoman Janice Rand
Rand has her arms crossed and is rolling her eyes. Her
“prop” consists of hands hovering around her, but not touching her. She has no
rank braid.

7) Lieutenant Uhura
Uhura is leaning forward, chin up, her hand curved back in
and gesturing at her throat to indicate singing. There is a word bubble to
indicate her singing, but it’s mostly erased.
