John, on my desk I have a Lobatus gigas.
I got it from an uncle when I was a kid. He found this conch on a beach during one of his trips to the Caribbean. He then told me to put the conch on one of my ears and with it I could hear the sea rustling. It's probable that my interest in the sea arose at that time. However, I did not become a conchologist, but a seaman, 😁 !

Thanks for this beautiful render that brings back my story to life!

What a rich interchange goes on here! And your fertile imagination expressed in a proliferation of intricate forms provides the opportunity for interesting interchange. Here the image provides a sense of going inward...as well as a sonorous chamber!

This daydream might scare the average person John but no one here at Caedes is average ha ha:):0 Great render buddy!

Wonderful ! conches abound here :)

I have this faved, what a terrific render this one turned out to be.
tigs=^..^=

I could see someone in their 20s and 30s not seeing conch shells but rather thinking it is an homage to the Saw movies series. Luckily I am far away from my 20s, 30s, and even 40's. I saw the shells immediately but, at the end of my viewing, was a little unnerved by the eye staring at me from dead center. As a child I watched an old b-and-w film about a boy who sees the eye of a murdered person, laying on the floor above with their dead eye directly over a hole in the floor. It has stuck with me for years. Otherwise, your creation is fascinating as the others... neato, as usual.
