Thanks to all the assisting POV-Ray users who answered my previous
questions and gave me truly good advises! Without you all, each of you,
I could not have reached with this project where I am now.

See here the first images of the Seneca space ark "Mankind" (where
SENECA is a ship type). I decided, after so many years, after the
tragical loss of all my POV-Ray scene files of the previous SENECA I and
other projects, to rebuild this ship. Much is still missing, but the
shape reminds already for the first SENECA (that can be searched for
here in this sub forum). The two giant side hangars are still missing,
the midship hull is at this moment just a place holder, but the command
area is almost completed. The smallest details on the ship are as small
as 5 cm! At this time, there are over 70,000 elements in this scene
(many of them inside the hull, like decks, rooms, and such).

CONTEST

These space arks bring human settlers to new worlds. I am intending to
create a series of space arks, and need your help: design symbols for
the sides of the ships. The "Humans" shows two future human settlers and
the Earth and the terraformed Moon, Mars and Venus. Other ships will
have names like "Life", "Nature", "Fauna", "Flora", "Ocean", "Air",
"Soil", "Harmony", "Promise", "Peace", and so on. You are invited, to
join the artwork competition with your graphical visions of these ship
names. An example: for "Flora" or "Nature" I could imagine the stylized
picture of a mighty, old and very large gnarly tree. Feel free to post
here your graphical translations of these terms. The originals must be
maximum 17,500 pixels tall and maximum 6,500 pixels wide (in order to
fit). Please make sure, the items you create are looking stylized and
somehow impressive. A cartoonish design with black edges (as seen on my
human settlers) is required, too.

If you want, you can even offer a new version of my human settlers: I
imagine the real humans in the distant future as around 2,80m tall and
of a very thin shape. Women will still have curvy body parts (front and
back) despite of the elongated, thin extremities. I also imagine a
higher forehead, and skins of all colors (genetically modified). While
men lost all hair, the women manage to keep some hair on their heads,
maybe artificial, not sure. Their natural skin color might be a pleasant
outdoor tan of brown, or a very light complexion. The races will have
merged more than today, and the faces will reflect that. Forgive me my
imaginations. And let's start the competition!
