The Space Marlin/Shark WIP "The Snappy Herring"

I'm creating a space ship for travel in my space shots. The idea is a ship that looks like a fish, originally it was being based on a blue marlin, but it slowly morphed to include the front teeth which gave it more of a shark look. The bubble cabin will house an entire living space and storage, as well as the cockpit, the main bulk of the insides done but I haven't added the seats or bedding and such so Ill render those later. I went with a sort of 70s sort of design but with the use of a mini white hole as the power source for both propulsion and weapons fire, although its for defence rather then attack, since its a long term deep space travel vassal. The character is being designed for it at the moment and they all will go into a small presentation of Space based renders and videos. The space in the background is using a image I found but future version will have a procedurally make nebula instead. The main issues is coming up with gribbles for the outside of the ship without making it lose its sleek look, right now I think its look more like a Starwing ship XD

Quick addition, I found a very cool quick way to apply a normal map on my basic images, this allows me to play with colours and lighting inside of eevee and cycles super face, I threw it together tonight on my ship I'm working on and I think its got so real promise, next step is the decal machine and internals.
