One more idea, this time in 3d:

1. Create an icosphere with maybe 6 subdivisions
2. select just one vertex
3. Use the same random proportional editing tool to randomize the surface radiating away from the selected vertex
4. Set a material and use a diffuse black shader

As a bonus, you can have the object rotate to give it an animated, portal-like look.

I'm a novice, so I'm sure there's probably a better way to do this, but I would probably make a 2d shape that I can move around and scale. Here's what I would try:

1. Create a circle with an even number of vertices, like 32
2. In vertex selection mode, checker deselect. (Select > Checker deselect)
3. Scale just those points outwards a little bit
4. Bevel the vertices (Ctrl + Shift + B) and use the mouse wheel to create three points. Make them more or less evenly spaced. It should look like a cauliflower
5. Select all vertices
6. Repeat steps 2 through 5 a few times. It should start to look like a carnation
7. Using circle select tool (C, mouse wheel adjusts radius) pick just the inside vertices. There should be 16.
8. Turn on proportional editing mode and set it to random (squiggly line)
9. Scale those points in or out, playing with the radius using the mouse wheel. The deselected points will move random distances, giving a jagged/fuzzy look. You can get a lot of variety if you play with the radius.
10. Select all points and hit F to fill.

Here's how mine turned out.

Thank you for introducing me to Your Name. I just finished watching it. Absolutely wonderful film.

I love the intro explaining that sweet spot between something you are interested in and something everyone is talking about. Great video!

I was going to translate but you’ve already done it. Great wording!

They should have sent a poet.

I see a Lyapunov fractal in your soap.

Dragostea Din Tei by O-Zone, though I think I heard it on NicoNico Douga before it became known as the NumaNuma Song.

Came here to say this. If you haven’t heard this remix yet do check it out!

Lots of folks saying “why don’t you just dry and put your dishes away?” but I have this exact model and use it mainly for storage. Zero cabinet space in my tiny kitchen. With this I can actually own enough plates and bowls to feed guests!

Rez is also one of my favorites. I think I can still play the majority of the soundtrack in my head when I want to.
