And you know what, the submission made my week, too. I honestly did not think it would be so well received. Personally I don't think it is as good as it could be, but you know...it's alright, I guess. When I read the comments I get, I can forget about the imperfections for a bit, especially comments like yours, they're something to look forward for me (Thank you!)

You actually describe what I want to achieve with such a thing, a dead, cold, mechanical thing, looking alive, in a different way than we're used to it. And yeah, it's not really pure coincidence that the main shapes look somewhat like alive animals. Nature uses powerful shapes, in an artistic sense, chaotic but ordered (as mathematics can show ). This is what truly fascinates me (also, have you seen Pi yet? You know that I have quoted something fitting in my journal...although I'm not obsessed with it but the idea of patterns making up our nature is...overwhelming.)

While I'm at it: there's also this guy who proposes a "Theory of Everything", the holy grail of physics, that explains the fundamental interaction of all particles using a highly abstract object, the 248-dimensional Lie Group E8. And yet, if you look here, you can see that this pattern would be exceptionally beautiful (visually at least): [link]

Too beautiful to be true, maybe. (Sorry for making such a long entry with all kind of strange, seemingly esoteric stuff >XD )
