real arowana look like this:

some variations from the final code
I wanted to take a more scientific approach to the idea of generated variations, so I decided to focus my project on variations of an animal species. I chose the arowana because it’s one of my favorite animals, and because I wanted to try and capture its distinctive shape. Overall, I had a lot of fun with this project!
