Those of you who have been following my TOS
Enterprise thread and are familiar with my intentions for it have probably known this was coming for a while now. Behold! Matt Decker's Devil, straight out of Hell:
This is, of course, a work-in-progress, and pretty highly speculative at that. It's based on a sketch I did almost a year ago, which I was going to post along with these renderings but my scanner is on the fritz. The overall effect is something between a grasping claw and a skeletal finger bone.
Here's a close-up of the "knuckle":
Exactly what this is, I cannot say at the moment, but it serves to break up the overall conical shape a bit and enhances the sense that this thing is at least partly mechanical. The detailing is still pretty basic at this stage.
Head-on view:
Obviously, I have yet to add "flaming pit" effect. I also plan to put some interesting machinery in there that should provide a rather novel method of emitting the infamous anti-proton force beam.
I was actually going to hold off revealing this baby until I had an animation ready to go with it, but... well, I just couldn't hold back any longer.
