Wow, what's your idea of a perfect one?

While I was working on this worm-bodied, big-fake-eyed creature, I found out that I don't know how to do textures. I'd like to know if someone could make this monstrosity look less like a flat image. Here are the Civ2 ToT unit and a larger image for reference.

here's a funny thing... I've just been working my way through this thread (all 30 or so pages of it) when I spied Mr. Oobir's 'Virus' unit and I thought, it looks almost exactly not-unlike the 'Zontar' barbarian unit from my 'Frank Zappa: Touring Can Make You Crazy' scenario which I'm working on....
Zontar is the monster from the sci-fi movie 'It Conquered the World', and appears in the prologue to Zappa's wonderful song 'Cheepnis' (a song about monster movie cliches)... "It looks like an inverted ice cream cone with teeth around the bottom, a sort of inverted pup-tent affair.. it's very scary...."

I need a unit for ToT with these specifications:
-big, ugly, green virus-looking thing
-five eye things on it (big one on top, four smaller ones below)
-pointy injection-like projections on bottom (first three bent, fourth straight)
-asymmetrical design
-two fleshy arm-like projections on either side
-rests on piece of metal

Very interesting. However, I believe that this Zontar is somehow even uglier than "Virus." It is quite hideous...

I am one of the BIGGEST Zappa fans you will ever meet. I have everything he did on vinyl from Freak Out through Joe's Garage (with one exception: OSFA). If I can be of any help on your project, please cotact me.
