Description Apo 2.08

Not rectangles, I promise

Also, one minor thing bothering me about this and I'm sure most of you won't notice.
Feel free to point it out if you spot it and I'll fix it if enough of you notice it.

Well, the little central square things aren't perfectly mirrored, but the thing I noticed were the little whirlpool things and how they aren't perfectly symmetrical.

But otherwise, very cool stuff.

The square???

I studied that square earlier and concluded that it was totally consistent with the texture of the design from which it develops. It is the center after all... The whole piece is square, so why the objection to a repeated square?

There are no other intersection points in the image where all directions converge and that's why it shows as a square. Totally fitting though. Consider... 4 is used as a symbol of universality. The four directions, the four winds, the four corners of Earth.

Thanks for your work on this one!

it is indeed the square
and it's jut that the square is so solid on there.
I could probably easily smooth it out a little...

There is a square in the center, is that it?

Now that we know what's bothering you, I cannot keep my eyes off that center!

It's wonderful!

Is it the not-quite-100% symmetry that's bothering you?

Platinus In reply to Pharmagician [2009-02-11 21:03:45 +0000 UTC]

it only appears to not be symmetrical, it is though

Very Cool Picture!
Whatever the detail your obsessing about, doesn't affect the effect at all!

Just an observation though, the horizontal and vertical 'minor' spokes that arrive at the center seem to be 'on top of' the major diagonal swords. Compared to other intersections where they seem to arrive behind the larger features.

Nice .

Is it the center not being filled with the metallic/gray?

Nice guess, but no
That's intentional.

I'd say the very center is a little crooked, but that's not it, is it? Even so, I like this very much. Love how the gradient lends to the medieval, sword-like appearance. Did you work at that, or did it just happen?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Platinus In reply to blackdragonBDG [2009-02-11 07:00:40 +0000 UTC]

Nope, it's not the center being crooked
It does however have to do with the center.

And of course I worked at that
Thanks for taking a look!

blackdragonBDG In reply to Platinus [2009-02-11 07:09:51 +0000 UTC]

Okay, I give up. Unless it's the gamma being too much. If that's it, then honestly, the gamma brightness at the corners bothers me more.

blackdragonBDG In reply to Platinus [2009-02-11 21:22:32 +0000 UTC]

Okay, one more shot at this. It's where the tips of the 'blades' connect and sort of look flat or don't flow into one another.
