Another new Processing sketch I've been chipping away at. I had an idea in mind a while ago to run some polygons together in a strip around a central axis and skew the colours, position and size for variation. Took a heck of a lot of work to get here though; thinking with trig in 3D led to a lot of false starts. It all finally clicked tonight.
I'm pleased with the unexpectedly architectural quality of this one. Next step is to up the variation so the central circles aren't so obvious, and hopefully rotate around the Y axis as well so the result is a bit more spherical.
Finally figured out a good way of sharing high res versions of these sketches. Here's a link to my public Dropbox folder that has this one and others at 1600px and up.

Dave this is really beautiful, I love how the piece maintains a central tone and motion but then has these great surprises of color and angle.

Really loving the colors and how it remains recognizable as a shape with so many level of colors. Great work!

I'd love to see some watercolor/gouache paintings of these.

I agree about the architectural quality of the sketch. It looks Guggenheim-ish. Very cool.
