Ok, here is the first post containing an early revised version of my final piece. The related essay is yet to come. There will also be an accompanying piece here to come in the next day or so as well.

This piece certainly looks better in Photoshop in which the effects were done. It is still a work in progress and I'm contemplating revisions to the final design. So much work that is yet to do. This has certainly been a fun project to work on.
