#genuary Day 27: 1 hour

My first attempt failed because the old component I was trying to use stopped working somewhere along the line. After a morning debugging that, I switched gears to this: needs work, but some promise.

#genuary Day 23: 16x16

Not into tiny pixel art: here is a 16x16 grid of extended stars, varying number of points, pointiness, and number of interior edges to keep

#genuary Day 22: point-line-plane
This really got away from me. Started as perspective lines and circle abstract. Now we have the boardwalk to the Time Tunnel.

#genuary Day 13: Wobbly functions

Here: family of modulated torus knots (adjusting ω) in isometric projection

f(θ) = (
σ cos(pθ) ω Σ(rx[i] cos(qx[i]θ)),
sin(pθ) ω Σ(ry[i] cos(qy[i]θ)),
0.2 sin(max(p,qx[i])θ)

#genuary Day 9: ASCII
I took inspiration from the table of glyphs for ASCII control characters & transliterated bits of Moby Dick into that range, mapped onto wavy paths & a fish (yeah, should be a whale, but a fish is what I had on hand)

Day 8: Chaotic system

Any excuse for a Newton fractal

(2+2i)sin(z)^3 + 3sin(z) + (3+1i) using the glorious "managua" gradient for colouring

Smoothed iteration colouring
