nice job taco :D

I really like this design taco and i have been messing around with it alot lately. i have tried many different variations. When i follow your directions exactly mine comes out looking almost exactly like your but for some reason your image seems smoother, if that makes sense. mine almost seem a little pixely. Its not very drastic but i was wondering if there is something i can do to make the image seem smoother and flow better i guess.

What resolution are you using? That could be a huge contributing factor to it.
