IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 
Some will say it's rather crazy.I will reply that 
it's a flight of free art. A Gooey atmosphere floating over a 
glass-flower (Copied and rotated arms on a transparent base) on a 
distant planet,with a complex (Bezier) Lifeform, happily reflecting.
Some colored light-effects and reflective spheres complete the 
"unnormal" appearance 


DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 

Moray was used for all modelling work.
The central unit was created,the arms copied and rotated,and
the textures edited in the texture editor.A cylindrical 
bezier-patch-group was created,the top and bottom selected and closed 
by scaling,and was wildly transformed.Underneath 
reflective balls were placed, as well as a level consisting of a 
colored,whorly disc.Colored spotlights and a pointlight from below 
were added.

PSP was used to contrast/Brigtness- adjust the final image.
