What do you think this looks more like - a UFO or a spacecraft?
(It's not the technical definitions I'm after, just your first impression.)
Anyway, it's not finished but here's the basic design. I don't go for
realism, so I've kept it simple.
What do you think? Comments please! :)

Spacecraft to me. I think you've captured an appropriate style for Al, if it
were my project I'd lean toward "retro" designs like on 1960's american
automobiles.

Reminds me of the space craft in the Roger Ramjet
cartoons.

Not bad, some propulsion system would be nice.
I think AL would probably look quite good in a more contrasting environment, for
example in something like H.E. Day's new landscapes or something else natural.

It looks like a very futuristic Beetle! Maybe it is??
AL's Very New Beetle!
Sounds good!

I think it's fitting for Al.
But shouldn't the steering wheel be a joystick? :)

Thanks! I'll add a propulsion system later but it wouldn't be visible from
this angle anyway.

I agree.
I don't go for "functional realism", but I do go for some degree of
"graphical realism".
Example: I want AL to be believable as a living character, but not in the
sense that an alien could look just like that in reality.
Example: I want his spacecraft to look like a real object with somewhat
realistic textures and so on, but it doesn't have to be realistic in the
sense that a spacecraft could be designed like that in reality.
So the point is that I would indeed like to place AL in a somewhat realistic
landscape. :)

Rune

Hey, I like it! Kind of reminds me of the Jetson's. :) I think George's car
had a bugle type bell for engine output, which wouldn't be hard to add here.
:)
I think AL's "Explorer" should have a touch-screen quidance system, or
thought control. Something like that.
Good job!

That was my first impression as well. Instant recognition.

It looks great. I really like it. I'd say spacecraft. UFO is bigger in my
book, and doesn't have fins.

Funny, I didn't use the Jetson's for reference at all. Rather I used
Spaceman Spiff's spacecraft (from Calvin and Hobbes).

Thanks for the suggestion. I might go with a touch-screen system. You did
mean "guidance" didn't you? If not, what does "quidance" mean?

I'll go with "spacecraft".

I'm not going to use toon filters with AL as I prefer him in 3D.
Besides, there are many cases where the toon filters in MegaPOV doesn't work
well.
Things behind transparent surfaces won't have the edges traced. For example,
in the scene with AL in his spacecraft, AL won't have his edges traced
because he is inside the glass hemisphere.
On the other hand, the transparent surfaces themselves will always get
edges, even if you don't want to. For example, when using media, the edge of
the container object will be traced.
