So rotate around to the back. Click on Create Sketch on this back plane. This will be our back base plate. We want to keep this more in the organic realm. So click on the Thick Point spline and just create a spline that extends above this. So maybe start somewhere in the center and go around. And it really can be any shape you want as long as it is a closed profile. Going to press Escape to exit there. I can move this around. You can make it vaguely symmetric on top, because I don't want it to be too off.
