Aliens are reported on a daily basis, in particular on YouTube. However,
and invariably, they are shaky, blurred, indistinct things. Only the
POV-Ray telescope is able to show alien ships in all their pristine
splendour coming to us from deep space.

I like.
It reminds me of Ouroboros. I actually tried to grab it with my mouse to
rotate it.

like the scaly texture ... procedural or uv mapped

uv mapped. I first made an orthographic shot in POV-Ray of a cells
pattern; then I edited that image in GIMP and IC, making different
versions, for use as pigment-, normal-, and finish-maps.
The ship itself is a highly asymmetrical, organic, object, originally
loosely inspired by the alien ship in Alien and Prometheus. UV-edges
have been pretty randomly chosen at first and later edited where necessary.

Good image, start for a story?

Thanks; no story; just messing around (keeps me from the streets) ;-)

Hi Thomas,
that is a very good start indeed, but I see some options for improvements.
First, the structure looks great, but too many areas are lost in the shadows.
This seems to be a general problem with space scenes, since one has only one
light source (star) close by. May be a binary star can solve this. The orbiter
can still have a different color in this case. The second issue is the engine
glow. IMO it should have more turbulence at the edges. Otherwise really great.
Best regards,
Michael

Thanks Michael. Shadows are a problem in (deep) space scenes. It the
reason why I have put Neptune to the left of the image. It reflects part
of the sunlight on the ship with a bluish tint. Making the ship of a
lighter colour helps too.
I agree about the turbulence. I started to work on that and then got
distracted by other things...

It seems an ancient and mysterious ship. I don't dare to imagine what
strange kind of creatures may live (?) on it.
