I was bored, and since I needed a new wallpaper I began experimenting 
with blobs. This is the result of about one hour of "work". I don't know 
what this "thing" is, but it surely looks creepy.

The texture is something I'm quite satisfied with, but the geometry 
could need some refinement: The blob components are placed along a 
random spline, and I was too lazy to add checks for self-intersection of 
the "thing".

Wow! I like it. Really Lovecraftian. :P I agree with you on the texture;
it's really disgusting. Have you ever been into Lathamian so-called Organic
Art? His algorithms with your texture added would be scary.

Regards,
Simen.

No I've never heard of that, and a quick search with Google did not give 
me anything useful either. Do you have a link to some website or such?

That's because it is William Latham...
Searching organic art on Google was more effective...
