Thank you so much for viewing and all of your comments!

Since I will be busy with this series for some time to come, here's what I'm after.
I'm trying to integrate the Y axis in my spirals, which is pretty straight forward, but it clutters up the centre of the spiral, so I'm looking for ways to avoid that.
I'm fine-tuning a gradient and lighting combination. I like this combo I use very much but it's not realy there yet. So expect only slight variations in colour and lighting.
I only use one extra layer in XD, one which I developed and gives me a nice outline. Here I want to achieve outlines, but not in a way that the image looks too graphic, retains enough of the movement and organic feel.
Last but not least, I want to avoid as much as possible "pierced" objects. Every form must be flowing under, over or through objects (if they are hollow), and that my friends, is not as easy as it sounds, with all the wild and often unpredictable flows and turns that these metamorphs take... LOL

Well, what I understood from all that is that XD is too complicated for me. :D I like those ribbons at the top.
superb work Dirk and very detailed
AIAIA this sculpture is an excellent defender. No one can make his way through these spikes. I don't see to many piercings, you succeeded:-)
What a great mess you make. lol I hope you can come up with the image for what you are looking. Great work. :)
Great metal curls and rings...excellent job
I cannot wait to get this program! This is an amazing creation, full of cartoon fun and complex realism. The shapes are fantastic, as if they were falling...so much like Esher's piece of himself and his wife...THIS ROCKS! (=
Well done ! I wish I had this as well ! Looks like a wonderful program. Excellent work !!!*!!!
Wonderful image. I admire all you XD works. I have been struggling with XD and feel lost when I open it up.
I'm afraid you lost me somewhere after the first sentence. Great looking work, spirals of all sorts here, I'm looking forward to seeing how this all develops!
Terrific beginning! I like the curled ribbons and the 'wedding rings' a lot.
Stunning artwork. You really have done well.
The best in your awesome spiral series..IMO. Worthy goal; I'll be interested in seeing each result. I've been working in XD since 2001..and you have a better understanding than I ever will. Fantastic image, Dirk! Love the curled twirls and shavings..the lovely metallic color and the shadowplay.
This is just superb Dirk! Can it get any better? "NOT", Lol! I would be happy if just one of my images looked this fantastic! But I know the challenge never ends :) Well, have fun and keep it up,k? V
Wondermooie "metaalkrullen", fantastische kleuren en schaduweffecten!Een enorme hoeveelheid details! Great job and vote Dirk!!
a flower of rings. youre doing great dirk.
fuzzy metal cluster. the solitude standing helixes are reminding me of the garbadge, a lathe pruduces, but the rings makes it look very noble. outstanding xd!
I actually do NOT understand what you mean, but I do love all the bracelets and metallic ribbons and twisted metal leaves! lol q-: Nice combination of colors also! Another job well done! V (:
Great conception of ordered beauty unravelling to chaos! Outstandingly powerful, Dirk! VOTE
lovely .. amazing stuff here! color is sublime
Splendid job, have very good dynamics!!! V
Well I understand what you mean, but I'm not about to try to duplicate your works. Trying to keep from piercing anything may be the hardest part. :-) BTW, this is beautiful, Dirk.
