Interesting. I think I can simulate something like a Chladni plate by using a repeating pattern in the diffusion coefficient arrays. I'll have to try that tonight.

That was my exact first reaction, too.
Those mazes are hard 
There's a style of crochet called "wavy" or "wiggle" crochet that I've been meaning to dip my toe into, and it made me think of that.
Also, a petri dish.
Also, a petri dish.
You may think it's a bit much, but when I see stuff like this, I think back to 8088 Corruption and how the person who made that demo built a routine that tried to match each "tile" in the original image with the closest equivalent ASCII character (so a tile with a diagonal line might become a "/" etc) and I wonder how far something like that could be taken. Of course font choice would be crucial, but I wonder just how closely an image could be matched with text. And let's not even get started on overprinting (backing up the print head to print a second character over the first)...

That's awesome.
Ultimately, this is basically a diversion from more generative experiments that I was working on. Ultimately, it still lets me practice some of the techniques for manipulating an image and turning it into array data. The next step, which may not directly translate with this image, is vectorizing it and cutting them on the laser cutter. I am interested in using multiple cut layers in a method not too disimilar to overprinting.
Well it's a mess but
portrait, half body, centered, a demonic woman with horns, red hair, black eyes, wearing a leather bodysuit, portrait of a person by Anne Stokes and Arina Tanemura, environment design by Artemisia Gentileschi, intricate details, action pose, moody lighting, smoke, vivid forest background
Also remastered the results one I saw a good pose

That's not creepy at all.
I'm working on trying to get Cthulhu in a 3 piece suit..this was one of the intermediate results. It's not Cthulhu...but I really like how it turned out.Getting closer. But I like the suit in the failed offshoot so much better.

I don't know why I was inspired to try to get Zombie Jesus today, but here we are.
For less creepy, I thought I'd see if Midjourney knew what crochet was and if it could make a realistic amigurumi. I'd say it turned out pretty good.
