Alienpillars #21

"A rare type of bug that supposedly arrived on a cargo ship is destroying crops on planet Uctumi, in the binary system of Extronium. A wide variety of very resistant subspecies has mutated and it is necessary to study and identify all of them to obtain a gen-activated pesticide that will work on all of their variations. The pest department of the Uctumi central government is working hard on it, and they say that these strange critters are probably related to similar species that inhabited the planet Earth of the Solar system a long time ago and have spread over the galaxy."

My second piece using the p5.js raymarcher I wrote. The drawing is made of circles and lines based on the 3D data. I wanted to try something hairy as it's easy to draw lines aligned to the surface normal with this method. I also used a shader for the frame and the glitchy/sketch features.
