Let’s talk about the texture of Running Moon today. Texture development is undoubtedly the most exciting and challenging part of the dev process that took most of my time. It is also an element that has shifted dramatically over the months.

#generativeart #artblocks Running Moon was initially influenced by my plotter practice: It was rendered in SVG and had a very precise feeling. There were lines and subtle gradients. I think outputs at this stage would produce exciting plotter paintings, but as standalone pieces, they need more.

Today I want to share more about the color palettes of Running Moon. Running Moon has a collection of 36 color palettes. Each palette contains 6 seed colors. The final painting uses variations generated from these 6 colors.

#generativeart #artblocks Why 6? My plotter painting practice influences it. In my plotter watercolor practice, I found 6 to be my stable choice because 6 colors can produce a diverse range of variations with some mixing, but going above 6 could lead to some dull colors for me.

1/ Running Moon depicts the nuanced interaction between clouds and moonlight. It is a search for boundaries between structure and fluidity, precision and errors. It's a quest for harmony. The rendering of Running Moon is inspired by stained glass and watercolor.
