Alien Pet Shop #1

Hey, so I go to college now.
One class I am currently taking is “Introduction to 3D”.
I have to make a terrarium with a creature in it. I have not gotten far past the “gray box model”, but here are some test renders I did, while learning how to use “Arnold render” in Maya.

Trying to tell a story with the model, I have a life supporting box which displays “error”, while inside the terrarium lives the last remains of DNA-life, although not like anything living today. To make the story sadder, the creature has laid eggs. Working title for the project is “Last mother of DNA”.
