Why can't both things be true? Worked for Moya in Farscape after all.For something really different. Just what the hell is this thing--ship or lifeform?
Definitely looks grown. And it’s probably quite large, if we assume that connecting stem-like thing is large enough to allow a humanoid-sized being to traverse it without crawling.
I can perhaps see it as something like the power leach Orchid from PICARD and/or a phylosian design—which would explain how Enterprise and the D-7 were not able to fire effectively...unless that was also a property of the Delta Triangle as well.
Perhaps a joint design done in concert with the pod ship aliens. Here, I would say the stalk is a collector of some kind.
Sadly, the pod aliens drew the wrong energies to themselves.

It very much reminds me of a deep sea angler fish. That "flying saucer" that's attached to it could be a lure?
"Ooh, look, Zarkon 7!"
"What is it, Husband-UNIT?"
"A flying saucer near that enormous tree that can't possibly be hiding anything behind it! Let's go investigate."
"Very well."

Sounds like the teaser to the fabled 'missing episode 80' of TOS!It very much reminds me of a deep sea angler fish. That "flying saucer" that's attached to it could be a lure?

Playing catchup on this thread, I REALLY like how this came out. Like you said, the vertical orientation is different from the norm. Kudos, @Warped9 .I think I'm just about done with this one. I still might play with the colours some--I think perhaps the green and blue should be more muted or more desaturated. Maybe eliminate the green altogether.
Dammit, I just saw a line drawing of that thing yesterday.For something really different. Just what the hell is this thing--ship or lifeform?
There are drawings of it in the Official Guide To Star Trek The Animated Series.
Is that a gray model with green environment lighting or something else you're doing with the reflection maps?
Huh... curious, then why it's gray underneath without any hint of color. Must be an artifact of the rendering process.
First look at how this is coming along.
I look forward to the added detail. This looks like a flying elephant eating a fried egg.
I know you're not being literal to the drawings, so these are just a few observations about how your model differs. The nose hull of the original sketch appears to curve down a lot more and the neck appears longer and doesn't feature as strong an S curve along the bottom where it meets the hull. Also, the wings on the sketch wrap around the center shape more. The result, possibly intentional, is the 3D version looks less organic and planet like. The front "egg" might be a big kidney shaped as seen from above.
And, frankly, this is one of those designs which probably only has a few good angles, as it's just weird. I bet it's the Phylosian ship.
