Looks like an abandoned wreck just floating around in space waiting for someone to come along and salvage it (isn't that what Neelix was doing on "Voyager" before he became a crew member?) so maybe you could base your final pic on something of that nature. Haven't seen much of Lexx, but I think their vessel was actually a living organic creature that they traveled around in. And it actually does look a little like photomicrographs of dust mites. Great design...looking forward to the end product. Please post any wips you're comfortable showing off here.

This is not my "second childhood". I'm not finished with the first one yet.
