Trippy Triangle Tangle

Tippy Triangle

When I started this piece I didn’t realize just how difficult the triangle would be to design. It required math. Math?!? What math?!?  Nobody said there’d be math! Hurmph.

In the end I suppose it was worth it.  I love the trippiness factor of this piece. There’s nothing quite as satisfying as a little op-art project.  The bunzos don’t quite pop out of the triangle as much as I was hoping they would, but c’est la vie.

And even more impressive, I remembered to take before pics! GO ME!

Here is the finished triangle, before the bunzo or shading was added. (The part that required all of that dangnabbit math. Humph.

This is the triangle with the bunzo before shading:

And the final piece, all shaded and ready to pop!

You can view my first Bunzo attempt here, and my first Tri-Roda attempt here.  This time around I combined the two.  I find anything with the Bunzo tangle turns out pretty trippy.

 

Looking at it now I realize I probably should have added some shading shadows around the whole thing to give it more depth.

 

Regardless, I’m going to keep playing with these two designs til I’m finally satisfied with both of them.  I’ve been working on Norwal too, haven’t quite grasped the concept of it quite yet but I’m getting there… I think.

First Attempt at Zentangle Pattern: Bunzo

This pattern is fun, if not a little dizzying.  The pattern tends to spin as you focus on one spot, at least until the shading is done. 

I half remembered to take a before pic; had just started the shading when I thought of it.

First pic shows the finished piece, second pic shows a side by side (though badly put together) of the unshaded and shaded contrast.
