Description


Ultrafractal 3.02 Seems like 4ever that I've admired the colors and shapes in the art of one of the "Grand Dames" of fractal art, Linda Allison - "Gumbycat" as she's been known ever since I marvelled at the Fractint gradient maps she made back in the days of AOL and Compuserve. She was the "Queen of Colors" in my eyes back then and still amazes with the shades and composition of her fractals. So, I've searched high and low, Julia and Mandelrot for a LONG time trying to figure out just how she got those VERY cool forms in her work. One day a few months ago, I hit on something while messing with UF on my lunch break that just jumped out and bit me like a Florida gator. I'd found something, finally, that at least was close to a "gumby-fractal". Woohoo!! So I played some and then didn't look at my work "shuttle-pars" again until day b4 yesterday. So, I worked some more - almost Sine-mod'ed it into oblivion, recovered, then got all hung up trying to make an XD looking grid background, recovered again, started feeling like it was actually gettin' "kinda gumby" and I think I've finally made something that emulates, somewhat, the awesome vibe of her work. Made sure to use lots of Florida oranges in the coloring, too! So, this one is hopefully suitably "gumbyfied" and dedicated to Linda A - one of the giants of fractal art and one of the friendliest people I've had the pleasure to meet. Thanks for stopping by! Rick :-?)

It is beautiful Rick! I have the same problem with your art! Gave up trying to imulate it,lol! Guess that with fractals, it is a personal signature that comes out. I love Linda's fractals too! She makes some of the most beautiful ones I have ever seen! :)

WOWWWW! That's really something incredible! There looks to be loads of little "people" in there scrambling over one another to get somewhere - or maybe it's just a real joyride!! Love it!

Not as good as Linda's, but it will do - LOL. I agree, she's a great Lady.

It's a beautiful image, Rick, and I can see you were inspired by Linda (as you said: one of the grand dames), but I wouldn't mistake your image with one of hers. It's more of a Gumbykat being "Rykktified". Nevertheless: beautifully done!
