I've tried to demonstrate it here. You end up with straight lines because it's always a middle point so it doesn't curve one way or another between the two points.

If the circles had a set radius then you'd have empty space and more circley-looking spots. But since they basically expand until there's a middle point you'll have these straight lines.

I was joking. But +1 for the effort and this looks like art, btw.

Oh dang didn't realize you weren't the same person. Thanks for the compliment, I had fun drawing it
