So I was trying to imitate the background on this gorgeous painting by Maxim
Revin: http://maximrevin.blogspot.com/2011/02/spaceship-concept.html

Anyway, I blocked out the rough colours, then decided I needed something in the
foreground so I coded a random blob. And, as so often happens, this little
diversion became much more interesting than what I was planning on doing!

So, it's a random blob, with some randomly placed negative-strength components
cut out to reveal a concentric inner blob for the windows, and some random
grooves carved into it (squashed negative-strength blob spheres). And
considering how often I've used the word random in that sentence, I'm rather
surprised by the results!

Here's a LOT of pictures, annoyingly the web interface doesn't seem to let me
post multiple attachments so I've stuck them together into one big pic.

Impressive. Artistically superb.

Floating within that semi-abstract scene, the blobs stand really out. Very 
well done.

Very nice. Iain M Banks as illustrated by Chris Foss! :-D

At first glance the title looked like "Random Sci-Fi Boobs".

and obvious first 2 images are Barbarella and the 3-breasted hooker from Total
Recall (guess an Eccentrica Gallumbits ref)...

Neat idea with the negative strength to make the windows the effect looks great.
The textures look good simple but effective.

Now run a few different ones, but duplicate each component, mirrored 
across the x-axis.  I'm thinking that you will get some body designs for 
highly impractical but highly cool flying cars.
