Sascha, the organic modeling you’ve done is superb, and especially effective in the renders you posted of the interior of the Car’lumen. The only part I have any qualms with is the overwhelming and unbroken whiteness of the front part, which begs to have some translucent “bio-circuitry” or just some little detail added so it doesn’t jar with the complexity of the other organic components. But that, of course, is just a minor quibble; this is truly gorgeous work! Look forward to keeping a closer eye on your progress!

@pBarrelas: Thank u Paulo, for your ongoing support here:thumbsup:
@Gunilla:Thanx a lot, Gunilla. Glad that u like it 
@KennyM: Hahaha - wifes are doing always the same: they don’t understand us:twisted:
…and many thanx for such a compliment…but don’t u think it’s good to wake up with such ugly and evil species…jellyfish for breakfast…
@nuclearman: Yes, you’re right with that overwhelmig white:thumbsup:, this comes from the environment (gradient ramp) and some glows. Later on, the space should be slightly reflected. But i try to bring in some little organic touches. Thank u for your objection, mate and of course the sweet words…
cheers:-))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

…here is the final weapon symbiont which is really a useful companion for the jellyfish warships…the symbiont gives ultraevil rayenergy into the brotherhood of extraterrestrial horror <-> the jellyfish warship take it to places no symbiont can imagine…ahh, btw the symbiont is an intelligent lifeform with natural targeting systems and integrated energy production units which are fed by the gravitational forcefields in the space…especially found at ship implosions…
