You are getting there. The lighter areas resemble fur and the darker areas remind me of the stars in the sky.

Oh! You mean like star trails, from when you keep your camera pointed at the sky and the the shutter open for hours; thus exposing on frame of film to the continuous path that that the stars take, across the sky, due to the movement of the earth, right? Because that's what I'm seeing. ^!^

Nope, but nice thought. It is more like if you watch the sci-fi tv show "Star Trek: the Next Generation" and you see the stars zipping pat when she star craft comes out of warp.

Yeah, it looks really good, at first glance; nice and chaotic, like real fur, but then, I started to notice this rainbowing effect, as the lighter fur transitions into darker fur.

Also, I think the lighter hairs, in the middle, are are all parallel, and that's what's creating the star-steak effect (like I described above, or one could think of Star Trek, when the ship goes to warp). The more I look at this, the more I feel you need to "mix-in" a fair handful of anti-parallel hairs. ^!^

That's what I was referring to is Star Trek.

lol yup! Give me a chance and I can figure out what was meant . . some of the time . . .

Join the club, we got jackets.

Cool! I'll join just for the jackets. Wait? Is this a club that will have me as a member? "I won't join any club that will have me as a member."--Groucho Marx ^!^

nice use of quote

What can I say? The mess of a brain that I've been given has got to be good for something! ^!^
