Wow! Mind boggling! How did you do all the detail in the different shades/patterns? Different colors and pen widths?

Refilled a spent black Micron 0.2mm with Liquitex Acrylic Sap Green and got...well ok I got black because I guess that Micron wasn't as empty as I thought.

Thanks for adding that context! I was not familiar with Equals Three but had a few laughs catching up real quick.

Love it! Can you share what technique you use for the brush stroke?

I'll look at the art in a sec. But first, let me ask: Why would you put gay as a synonym for dumb, bad and fake?

RAW – A lot of vector math in this project. I love how the extra anchor points magically appear when needed. Using tangent lines between circles to find the right anchor locations.

Looking back on Genuary 2025 -- I completed 23 of 31 prompts, and here is a replotted grid of alternative versions of my 16 favourite designs.

These look awesome. I just love the analog look of actual plots. So much more depth then their digital counterparts. Also love how one of the designs spills over into the other in the bottom right.

Ah so it works based on the colors in the individual SVGs and creates a file per color? Clever.

That’s smart! Did you combine the SVGs?
