Yeerk Pool Ship 3D Model

Update: Texturing almost complete. More pictures and stuff coming soon.

Suddenly, a window opened in one of the walls. It just grew, the same way the door had
before. Like the steel was alive. It formed a round porthole, large enough for all of us to see -
even Rachel, who could only turn her massive head enough to look with one eye.
I gasped.
Below us, blue and white and so beautiful it brought tears to your eyes, was Earth.
Sun sparkled off the ocean. Clouds swirled over the Gulf of Mexico, a big spiral, maybe a
hurricane.
<Look,> Cassie said simply.
We looked. Through the eyes of the animals of Earth, but with the minds of human beings,
we looked down at our planet.
Our planet.
For now, at least. For a little while longer.
Then something different came into view, as the Blade ship rotated away from Earth.
<This is why the Yeerks opened a window,> Ax said. <This is what they wanted us to see. So
that we would despair.>
The mother ship.
It was a gigantic, three-legged insect. The center was a single, bloated sphere. The sphere
was flatter on the bottom, and from the bottom hung a weird, mismatched series of tendrils.
Like the tendrils of a jellyfish. Each one must have been a quarter-mile long.
Around the sphere were three legs, bent up, then back down, exactly like a spider's legs.
<The legs are the engines,> Ax explained. <The tendrils hanging down below the belly are
weapons and sensors and energy collectors. That is also where the shipboard Kandrona is.
The Yeerks must bathe in the Yeerk pool every three days and absorb Kandrona rays. There
must be one on the planet below, too.>
<Yeah. We know,> I said. <Your brother told us. For all the good it did us.>
It just hung in orbit, like a predator gazing down hungrily at blue Earth below.
<I can't believe people on Earth don't see this on radar,> Rachel said. <I mean, it's huge. It's a
city!>
<It is shielded,> Ax said simply. <It cannot be seen by radar. And it would normally be
invisible to us. Visser Three is showing it to us. To terrify us.>
<He's doing a good job,> I said.


Original post:

So I'm taking an intro to 3D art course, and for a final project I have to texture and animate something. I chose to try to create the Yeerk Pool Ship landing from book 53. I only have a few weeks to do this, so for now I'm just showing the Pool Ship and the ground, not all the other stuff that's going on.

Here's the illustration I based my model on:

And here's my Pool Ship model as of now, without any textures. Keep in mind I'm pretty new to 3D art/Maya, and I only have a short time to put this together. Made this much in two days:

Comments/advice appreciated.

I believe the schematics for the various ships in the Animorphs series can still be found on their official Scholastic site if i'm not mistaken.

Anyways, good job with it so far. I'm sure you'll get a really good grade for it :D
