These designs you see here (I call Blasts), are something I came up with over 20 years ago. I recreated these blasts using BRL. It's a simple design that tends to be different each and every time it's created.

I start with a center point and draw separate lines going through the center point, each line being of a different lengths. Then I connect each lines tip with an arcing line, making sure to go all the way around, connecting each of the lines tips, until the blast is completed.
Then select the inner shapes of the design and fill them using BRL.

Thanks! :bigthup
If you haven't guessed, purple is my favorite hue. I'd like to see that purple laptop of yours.

I thought we did the 'blast from your past' with Elvis.

Thank you for all your support Wallace and have a PURPLE new year.

That looks awesome, the red and yellow makes me think of something you'd find in the game Borderland 2

I'm afraid I'm not familiar with the game Borderland 2, so I have no point of reference to go on, but I'll take your word on that. ;)

it's a shooter game that renders everything with a nice cel shading effect.

That's a pretty cool looking image. I'm a World of Tanks man myself, it's the only game I play. ;)
