Well, the sand is cool, but I like orange myself. I live overseas in a country that is almost completely sand, so I do have these weird preferences. And why does it look solid instead of a lot of grains? I think the pod could use a color change, but I'm not sure what you could use...... Maybe a solid color instead of streaks.... unless you can get the streaks to blend together (don't ask me how. Or you could make it some kind of dark metal. That'd look cool. Other than that, the only thing I can think of to add is a nice big worm. :-)
