Sure, you've looked at the sketch and it makes no sense to you thematically.
I do not have to explain my art to you.
For the skybox
To split it
It's kinda fine for the purpose but also it's an AI image generation thing so black box/work of the devil/steal from real artists kinda bullshit and also it kept not giving me what I wanted.
Rigged model I made in blender.
Shaders with textures.
Your vertex shader needs some extra bits if you wanna run a shader on a rigged model.

#include <common>
#include <skinning_pars_vertex>


  void main(){
    #include <skinbase_vertex>
    #include <begin_vertex>
    #include <beginnormal_vertex>
    #include <defaultnormal_vertex>
    #include <skinning_vertex>
    #include <project_vertex>
    vec4 modelPosition = modelMatrix * vec4(position, 1.);

    vec4 viewPosition = viewMatrix * modelPosition;
    vec4 projectionPosition = projectionMatrix * viewPosition;
  

    gl_Position = projectionMatrix * mvPosition;

That's actual useful content.
Ok, the squid called Archie is a refence to a William Gibson novel.
In Spook Country a charachter writng for Node magazine is looking at locative art.
AR art tied to GPS co-ordinates.
One of the pieces is a hovering textured squid called Archie.
The texture on my version were made by combining still frames from GLSL shaders in blnder using its shading workspace.
This is a node based stystem.
