My POV_learning_curve is very slow.
Now, is the turn of the quartics.
Something wonderful especially, for someone like me, understands nothing of
mathematics and polynomial shapes...

So, I found myself playing with an pov-source of the extraordinary Tsutomu
Higo.
....Well, I changed the quartic, I added a couple of lights, I rotated ninety
degrees and, in postprocessing, I cut the edges of the image, I changed the
saturation of colors, and a touch of sepia.

Nothing extraordinary, a quartic alien-skull?
:)

reminds me of the head of a real mean blood-sucking bug, or something :)
If it's an alien however, it doesn't look like the good natured-type ...

Whatever it is, it is very beautiful... and intriguing. Texture and lighting 
are optimal imo.

Oh, I *definitely* like this one! Your choices of colors and lighting are both
superb. This is what I imagine a 'real' alien would look like--strange and
mysterious, even bizarre, without the usual cliches of 'scaly skin' or big
teeth. Far better/creepier than many of the so-called 'aliens' that show up in
big-budget films. A thing of beauty!
