I think the blob look really good! Although the bright parts look a bit like
they are a reflection (are they?) and not only being lit up by the lamp. But
they look very realistic with their coloring that suggests different
thickness and density. I also would make the lamp a bit brighter (the
outside light is more prominent than the light in the lamp.)
