I'm with what seems like the majority here. I like your Photoshopping, but I don't want the Scythe changed at all. I wouldn't mind this being another vehicle though.
I like the Scythe's aggressive look. It kind of reminds me of the Dramiel from Eve Online:
Or the Cylon Raider ships, as was stated here earlier:
These designs remind me of:
Wooly Mammoth
Or of course:
Elephant
or even:
Boar
or:
Smilodon
or:
Walrus
My point? Exactly that, I want my ship to have pointy fang/tusk things as it's very aggressive looking because of the animal kingdom and recent sci-fi use of the design, covering many basis, striking fear in the hearts of TR and NC everywhere... or maybe, at least, convincing some to join us for our pointy ships!
