Organic Kimonoisim

I tried making a harmonious symbolic shape , and i went for a highly oriented theme

I got the standard old yin-yan and tweaked them up a bit to look a little more like tadpole-like-biengs with swirly tails and stuff, puts a little more life into them.
and then seperated them out a little ( cos the standard yin-yan imho looks unbalanced, too much black-white-black-white sequence, and the tight curves required to make it work look like "donkey" )

then i grouped layered sequences of lovehearts and aranged them into oriental like flower shapes, and filled the remaining area with them ^_^.

then I put some black-white rings around the outside to seperate the unity in the centre from the outside world, a protective bubble if you may.

I tried designing the colours/layout/style so it would look ok on what my mind recalls a kimono to look like

seems when certain people study certain topics I some how get remote inspiration from the subjects they study . ?ysaada>|

a mere 5 hours work there mostly because the construction of the hearts pattern required a whole bucket load of vectors ( 1GIG of vectors to be precise, and when you've only Got 1G of ram, your gonna start digging into ye old'e swap space ) and it got really slow and had to re-engineer the whole hearts system several times to get it to work ( i at one stage had tesselated heats with smaller hearts filling the spaces, and smaller hearts filling the spaces that remained, but that was obviously waaaay to complex )

edit fixed a glitch or two that was noted, fixed my "not colouring inside the lines"
and slapped on a red background instead of a black one to give a more Kimono style to it.
