I am so, so happy with today's mandala! =)

It was really difficult to settle on the colours I wanted... At first, I want thinking of a pink/purple lotus type thing, but the cocoa sneakily made its way into there.

I'll certainly tweak this again later and try for a lotus again though!

The creation process:

As usual, I loaded up some parameters from an older mandala (this time, from Raízul, which I used before to create Sundala) and started tweaking. I loaded in a pink/purple colour scheme because as I said, my original intention was to make a lotus flower mandala.

I spent 3 hours tweaking the formulae (there are 4 of them, each with about 3-8 tweakable parameters) until I found the shapes I wanted. I saved many along the way though...

And then, it was time for the colours. I was still going for pink/lotus, but this image snuck in some delicious cocoa which I just had to go with:

The rest was just getting the border right, and adjusting curves in Photoshop =)
