Today, I'm sharing one of my early #SciArt pieces. I called this series "Kaleidoscopic Cells" and used my own cellular organelle illustrations to create them.
Got my color rotation function back! Colors are a little bit bland, different to good hue algorithms. But it is customizable with a lower and upper border using trigonometric functions to create thresholds for the colors.
And that gives nice new effects, which don't look bland at all.
(The best is, I can reuse my color mixer render scene, as this is just a color mix with changing values.)
Last December I stumbled upon a quirky advent calendar of challenges.
It introduced me to a wonderful new hobby and a whole community of brilliant, supportive, inspiring people.
This year, it's an honour to complete a circle and make an invite to #LovebyteTCC 2023!
Please consider taking part, and also please spread the linked 👇 invite far and wide.
So very, very highly recommended.
This pattern inspired by a SciAm diagram "an array of hexagonal ommatidia, each containing eight photoreceptor cells (circles) and two primary pigment cells (crescents), surrounded by six shared secondary pigment cells (ovals). The fact that a single ommatidion can have white and normal genotypes shows its cells are not necessarily descended from a common ancestral cell"
@davidpwhelan Oh wow! Had to look twice to understand what's what! Also, the colors and shapes just reminded me of this 10 year old render (from my https://thi.ng/luxor project)...
Well, the "prompt list" for genuary 2023 have confirmed that I will not be participating in Genuary 2024. https://genuary.art/prompts
I'll have to think of something else to do instead. Maybe I'll add a bunch of prompts to my SciArt Prompt Generator and use it to select my prompt list. Or maybe I'll revisit past prompts and take them farther? https://artatomic.itch.io/prompts
Instead of marking intersections, I'm exploring marking the arcs between intersections...as if they are beads on a wire or string. Each 'strand' has a single color for its beads.
