Description

Ultrafractal 3.02 and 4.01 - Apophysis 1 Here's a fractal composition that sorta just took off on me and wasn't sure if it wanted to be a seascape or an abstracted jungle scene. It sat in my WIP folder for a good while trying to figure out who/what it was. Seascape or jungle abstract? The answer ended up "yes"! lol So I added a "lighthouse" shrouded in fog and updated the light with a new lighting layer I made a while back and and voila! (yes, "voila" - not "viola", that's a baby cello and not "Walla", either - half of THAT is in Washington state - lol) The lighthouse is made using the sam.uxf-Platonic Solids and the mt/ufm-Pixel formula with Standard.ucl-Gradient. Just 5 cubes stacked with a tetrahedron(pyramid - yeah, I didn't know what that was either til it rendered - lol) on top and an orbit traps ball of light. Great news on the job front: I have TWO job offers as of this week! Neither pays quite as well as the job I had, but the difference is pretty small and I think we can handle it, Joie and I. Actually, one job pays 100% of medical/dental and, if you add in the $$ saved by that, it's actually a small raise. Cool beanz! They are in very different areas of electronics and so I'll be stressing over the decision til Monday when I need to let them know. Funny thing: We spent a bunch of $$ for a new suit for me to interview in (thank you, Ultrafractal, for making me sit obsessed in front of this pc the last 2 1/2 years and quitting the gym! ;-) lol) since my old one didn't fit. Well, both comapanies stressed that they were casual and not to bother with a suit and tie - go figure! lol Actually, I did wear a tie to the first one. I almost forgot how to tie it but, thank God for inspiration, whatever I did ended up a pretty decent full Windsor knot. And I only ever knew how to do a half Windsor, before. So, I just loosened it and pulled it off over my head and it hangs in the closet pre-tied for when I need to wear a tie again - in like 10 years! lol Thanks for stopping by and for all of your heartening concern of this last few months as I stressed over the impending plant closure.

Fantastic! Lovely colors, too! And, I'm sooo glad for the job offers, Rick! BTW, you'd have hated it if they'd insisted on a suit and tie, count your blessings on that one :)

Wonderful image, Rick, great dark misty colors. And many congratulations on the job offers. Hopefully, the burden and worry that must have felt like weights pressing you down have been lifted. Good luck, I hope it all works out great for you, and that you'll still have time for creating great images like this. :)

I'm so excited to hear your news!! It must feel great. I love this image too. It looks like a veil of unknown being lifted to reveal the gleaming yet mysterious future. Your humoruous story made it all the more worthwhile to take a peek. Big hugs to you and Joie, hoping all works out the best!

Gorgeous image, Rick! You are so imaginative! This really looks like a haunted clipper ship just barely out of reach of the shore. Inspired creation!

Amazing work! So beautiful in palette and mood, the sort of image that sends one dreaming of nights like thus. I am always inspired by your vreations.Thanks so much for sharing, for your visit and comment and are you from Washington state? One rarely hears of Walla Walla because Seattle is the "big city".

Wow, this is my personal favorite of your work so far. I get a really great feel from it. The coloring on the fractals on the left is superb. Neat obelisk in the background. Every picture could use a good obelisk :-)!
