Oh, and the new Captain Christopher Pike from Star Trek: Discovery. He's such a fox! Just look at him there on the right. Anson Mount Pike is easily the equal of the original Jeffrey Hunter Pike from Star Trek's pilot episode.
Anyway, back to some hastily slapped together artwork, and the challenge that inspired it:
Well, a New Year is upon us and maybe some of us (like a certain Discovery character) are planning on spreading our wings and trying something different this year by joining a new organisation or club.
Star Trek has its fair share of secret or clandestine organisations from the Tal Shiar to the Obsidian Order or Section 31.

After reminiscing with some of you lot about TV programmes we used to watch as kids, I wondered if the Red Hand Gang might have inspired children in the 23rd or 24th centuries. So, out came the red paint:
The top two hand prints are obviously (hopefully) Vulcan, and the bottom two are my take on Terellian (of the four-armed variety).
