Animorphs - The Yeerk Pool Ship

The Yeerk Pool Ship, from the Animorphs books by K.A. Applegate. I created this in Maya as a final project for my 3D art class.

From Animorphs book 53, The Answer:

It was as big as a sports arena. It moved slowly, cumbersome in atmosphere. It was designed for space, not, like the Bug fighters, to be comfortable in air.
The Pool ship looked like a fat, swollen, three-legged spider. I'd seen it before, up in orbit,
high above planet Earth.
The Pool ship: home of the Yeerk invasion force, base of the Bug fighters. It was a space-going Yeerk pool, well-defended,
dangerous, but essentially a portable barracks, a giant mess hall that served up hearty doses of Kandrona rays, the sustenance that a Yeerk must have every three days or die.
The Bug fighters rose to greet their mother, swarming around the Pool ship, bristling, daring anyone to attack.
The Pool ship waddled down out of the sky, shouldering through the clouds. And gently, delicately, ever-so-tentatively, it rested its bulk on terra firma.

@TheMaxwellVideos This is my own work.

I went back to re-read the first Everworld book, and I really love the way Applegate writes. Do you by any chance have that link to the Animorph books that you sent me before? I remember it was a 3-part book that you said was really good. I lost the link.

Good job! I've recently been inspired to 3d model Visser Three and the Blade Ship in maya!

Love this! They really need to make a modernized Animorphs movie... -sniff-

I really like your design of the ship. Great job on the whole animation overall!

I used to think my parent's were controllers...I covered my ears with my blanket while I slept.I also had "Free will" practices in front of the mirror to get a good grip on my will...
