Heh... I've seen bands with album-covers that look like they're trying to achieve this effect. Clean and simple look, but nice ;-)

AWN: an elephant on its hind legs.
QRE: scorpion.
XVG: snowmobile.

What modifications would be necessary to make the resulting image larger, with more detail... i.e., more "spread out" ?

Either increase the y offset in the second Blob rule (ie rule Blob{Blob{y 3}} ) or decrease the chance of the terminating rule (currently 0.003)...

The terminating rule needs to be there since, for this type of design, the size never shrinks to nothingness...
