No comments? Well, it happens (you post, you check back every few hours,
your post just sits there uncommented and unnoticed, you wonder why everyone
hates you, you start to drink, your wife leaves you, your dog leaves you,
your mother pretends she doesn't know who you are....).

As to the image, the main problem at first glance is the hardness of the
edges of your spots. Try using a more gradual transition at the boundaries -
i.e.

not [0.70 A_Colour][0.70 Transparent]
but [[0.65 A_Colour][0.75 Transparent]

I like the main pigment, but the spots, to be honest, are fairly hideous at
the moment.

In the end, I would have thought that you would need a lot more interaction
between your bands and your spots - are you sure that warps can't help you?
I don't think I've ever used them myself, but they sound perfect for this
kind of thing.

If that fails, I guess it's time for an iso-pigment.
