May Art Challenge - Klaus

[Klaus]

For the first time in a while, I got an idea right away...

...here's a first go: The flag of the Tholian Assembly, emphasizing their crystalline nature.

 

[B.J.]

Nice! And very different! I guess that would really make sense for a truly alien species.

 

[Finn]

Nice

 

[Klaus]

ty! One of the best things in relaunch Treklit is the idea that the big mural in Quark's on DS9 was not actually a Tholian admiral, as Dukat had thought, but Tellarite porn and no one could tell..

 

[Ptrope]

Nice! Looks like the idea crystallized right away, huh?

This alone would make a nice pennant:

The "L-functions and Modular Forms Database," abbreviated LMFDB, is an intricate catalog of mathematical objects and the connections between them.

Interesting. Tholian designs here perhaps

...Thought I try making it 3D, to more closely reflect the Tholian's own geometry.

A 2nd take on the 3D version, flatter but actually crystalline material this time...

OK I think this is the final version, framed and angled for effect.
