Two changes today that made world of difference. First, each of the 14 different shapes types that are used in this drawing program are now ordered in some semblance of order, with straight lines on one end and circles on the other. This makes the transitions between shapes a little less jarring (which really helps with coherence, since there are now hundreds of thousands of individual shapes in each image). Second, I took the “baseline” and “ray” shapes (which are lines that zoom across the whole image surface) and made them uniformly thin hairlines. Previously, they had varied in thickness based on color density, but this usually just meant that they obliterated the rest of the image. Now, even images that are predominantly composed of these two manage to maintain a lightness throughout. Some fave results below (the two without finished edges are detail views):

  1. i particularly like the one with the red/yellow near the lower right - i assume these are “photo decompositions”, makes me wish you’d post the source image too (and post them all to flickr :) ) nice work, cheers.
