Nothing inherently wrong with the current image (which was selected through an earlier IP thread), but the "living" aspect is not really visible.

Someone suggested this image in the Eldritch Starship thread, which I think is a better illustration of this trope.

I do like the suggestion. Others that I thought about were this or this. Even if we end up keeping the current, we can have a helluva Image Links page.

1.1 is better than current or 2.1 and 2.2 as it's the most clearly "living".

Mayhaps. Though I feel that it looks alive much the way coral is alive.

As an alternative, what about the Leviathan from Starcraft II? [1]

I like both 1.1 and 4.1.

I like 2.1 and 2.2, though they may need some serious cropping because the other stuffs are distracting.

4.1 is good, but I don't think it looks like a 'ship' enough than it is an Eldritch Abomination...

Would we need a crowner?

4 looks like a Space Whale. I think the other suggestions would lose too much details and be unclear at wiki size.

What about this Yuuzhan Vong ship? [1]

[up]That's a good contender.

Anyway, this is what the OP suggestion looks like at Wiki size. Does it look unclear?

It's a hard choice between 12 and 13. I can't say I prefer one or the other. I'll be fine with either.

[down] You mean 12.

[up] Same here. Here are some other options along the same line as 12: 1, 2, 3

EDIT: Fixed post #, thanks.

I dunno, 12 looks pretty cool.

We'll definitely need a crowner for this!

This is ready to call. The new pic's up, potholed, the tag's adjusted, and I've put the rest on the Image Links page. Since the clock's way past due, I'm gonna go ahead and lock this; add a caption if you want one.
