Hairy Kunst!

New hairy art algorithm! This one draws a picture using particles that grow like hair. Marilyn Monroe(20k shockwave animated drawing)!

Marilyn Monroe by Don Relyea-- Particle Generated Art (click to enlarge)

I have several shockwave tests of other famous people. I couldn't resist doing a big hairy Bush, Marilyn Manson, Tyra Banks and Tom Cruise. These are just tests right now I am still getting the algorithm dialed in although I have it pretty close.

The basic rules are pretty simple, more hair grows in the darker areas and less hair grows in the lighter areas. In general hair growing in darker areas grows longer than hair growing in lighter areas except for hair growing in really dark areas, that hair grows shorter and maintains a tighter curl. This is to preserve some of the detail that would get overgrown otherwise.
