Hexali was a test of what I could do with a simpler start than my usual Weavesilk, Artbreeder, or Deep Dream Generator mix and matching.

I literally started with a blank 2000x2000 white square, and began adding simple elements to it:

I added a second shape and a little touch of color, to diversify the feel a bit

Then I created several filtered images in GIMP, using the G'mic-QT plugin.

I used one of the G'mic-QT filters to combine the layers

Then went to town with some symmetry manipulation, trying to make an interesting pattern:

I then began playing with the pattern to enhance the form:

And look, Windows 10's DRM tech somehow broke momentarily, showing what I'm watching right now !

And voila, Hexali was born !
