Different Approach

 

Same keyframes, same regions as the last post. Different approach to doing the painting over time.

Same keyframes and regions as above, but modified the fine line drawing to do a TSP sort, and messed with the dispersion and enhancement elements to get the paint flow in the ballpark. It's amazing how sensitive the recursive painting process that occurs over time in successive video frames is to very minor perturbations in the Mix ratios of those elements.

Dialing it in. Molding the dispersion forces.
