This is my entry for Apophysis Challenge #35 [link] hosted by

ONE VARIATION ONLY

The challenge this week allows you as the artist to determine it's direction.
You are restricted to one, and only one variation. The variation is up to you. Take your pick.

* Variation Limit: One Variation (Artist's Choice)

* Transform Limit: Five (5)

* Final Transform: Yes (Same as original variation)
