      Some optical illusion, i made a while ago.
      The base was simple a yellow stroke where i place a pattern Brush
      in the same size above and the copy scale and rotate it.

      Here the Base

        Another interesting optical illusion.
        Made in VectorStyler and Black Ink

        VectorStyler
        Dashed Lines, random colorized, the whole thing copied, and
        two copies placed underneath, each with a Gaussian blur image effect

        Black Ink
        Only for Symmetry, because of its symmetry Fusion Feature.

          Played a bit with a multiccolor gradient in strokes.
          You could look at this little tutorial of mine

              Thank you.

              Yes it looks nice and its realtive easy to do.
              I just had to relocate some stroke gradients

              Yes, it looks nice and is relatively easy to create.
              I just had to reposition some of the gradients a bit.

              I did this with separate strokes that weren't combined or grouped.
              If you select all the strokes and then apply a gradient (see the method in the link)
              over them, the gradients will be in slightly different positions.

              Ultimately, I actually liked the slightly more chaotic result here even better.

              Btw i used a concentric gradient

                    Created using:
                    The colorize feature in the Repeater, which can also colorize strokes with a bitmap.
                    (See Manual how)

                    The Style Picker Feature, which allows you to transfer style attributes
                    from one group of objects to another.

                      I used a shape with a multi-colored gradient to colorize a bunch of strokes using the Repeater,
                      and transferred the color (style)—using the new Style Picker Tool Feature— to a bunch of
                      other Strokes created with the Blend function.

                      The strokes colored with the Repeater

                        Took a a gradient from another App with a screenshot and use
                        this raster graphics then to colorize a bunch of strokes with the Repeater.

                        This time no Style Picker Feature where used.
                        I create a a color Palette instead from that bunch of strokes
                        (create Palette from selected Objects)
                        and colored a Swirling Lines Shape after converted it to curves
                        via Colorize with that new palette

                          Made in Vectorstyler, recreate a pattern i found on the Internet
                          mine look a bit different but i am fine with that

                          .
                          For anyone who is interested, you need to split the Line
                          in different pieces to create this pattern

                            I more or less replicated a pattern I found online.
                            I couldn't resist using the "Along Stroke" feature
                            in VectorStyler's gradient editor.

                              This was inspired by "string art"; I wanted to experiment with creating it
                              as vector graphics and applying gradients to the individual paths to see
                              what kind of patterns would emerge.

                              The String Art was made in Nodebox because its very easy to
                              create Point/Node Pattern with it.

                              The coloring was created in VectorStyler; which allows to create gradients along a path
                              and allows them to be applied to the design's paths using the "Style Picker" group function.

                                  @Subpath These graphics look quite unique. I’m curious: can VectorStyler create them at the moment?

                                    I think some of the Designs would be possible in Vectorstyler
                                    all you need is a straight Line, rotate it a bit and copy and repeate it

                                    But i think it is way easier to do it in Nodebox because one would have more Options
                                    when you could set single Points and connect those Points with a Line i dont think
                                    that Vectorstyler could set single points.

                                    To set single points and connect them its very easy in Nodebox. (Nodebox is free, PC and Mac
                                    in the mean time there is also a Version for Silicon based Macs )
                                    All you need is a Path and a Point Node which say how much Points a Path should have.
                                    This way you could create all kind of Point Patterns and connect them.
                                    .
                                    .
                                    Here how the base Structure is made

                                    .

                                    and here the whole Design

                                      Some additional notes regarding Points in NodeBox:

                                      Points serve not only to connect lines or paths.
                                      They can also be used to specify positions for shapes or designs.

                                      And since this all is Node-based in Nodebox, it is very easy to replace
                                      one shape with another or to modify the design.

                                      Not to forget that Nodebox is a pretty good compainion to Vectorstyler
                                      NB has .SVG and PDF Export and you could import .SVGs

                                        @Subpath This is a node-based program, which I’m afraid won’t work for me. Just like creating materials in C4D, it requires connecting nodes. This kind of workflow isn’t my strong suit.

                                          No problem if it doesn't work for you or isn't a good fit.

                                          I only use it for specific tasks myself. Creating vector graphics using nodes certainly
                                          has its merits and its fun to use. I didn't find the basic principles hard to learn—and

                                            The design was created using Nodebox (which is free).
                                            I tried to copy and scale it within VectorStyler, but I couldn't find
                                            a way that produced a good result.

                                            However, the coloring was done in VectorStyler—and this is where
                                            the "Style Picker Group" feature really shines. The design consists of 80 objects;
                                            I created a single stroke, applied a gradient along a path, and then duplicated
                                            it until I had 80 copies.

                                            Finally, I grouped the design elements and the strokes, and then applied the styles
                                            to the whole set using the Style Picker.
