LOL, very nice, original too :)

I like it!  By the way, is there a little black spec on the sphere in the
middle of the left half, or is it just my imagination?  It looks like it's
reflecting a black object that's a very long way away.

It just needs some arms and it would make a great mascot for the
Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy...

I like it.

Looks more like a patch glitch to me.

At a rough guess, I'd say that the sphere(?) was modelled in sPatch or 
Hamapatch.

I think that that image is going to be a 'keeper' though.  I like it :)

Bye for now,
     Jamie.

It *is* made of bicubic patches, but I *didn't* use a modeller!

The tongue is a blob. The teeth are torii. The "sphere" itself is made of 8
bicubic patches (no modeller used).

I can't remember such creatures from the story itself, but I recall having
seen a version of the book in a bookstore which had such creatures on the
front. Is that correct?
