Description

Ultrafractal 4.02 -- Photoshop 7 (kanji text) Finally something worth showing to someone other than my doggie-bud, Lars, happened on my monitor - lol. I played with this one thru like 23 versions over a week and a half b4 I finally settled for this one. Sheesh - talk about picky! lol Been a while since I got that wrapped up in one of these mega-layer thingies. This one started out "painted" on a wrinkled, brick red background but 2/3 of the way thru I changed to the colorful backdrop. I tried to duplicate the style of japanese art where things are painted sorta "2d" without much shading - the leaves - and are "stylized" like the "sun". But I ended up shading the "bamboo" anyway. Tough figuring out the ribs in the bamboo but then I remembered a "trick" (the colored, diamond "lights" along the side of the rollercoaster "track") I found on one I made last year called "Space Mountain": If you use Toby's "Simply Spirals" formula and the Mode Switch, there's a certain "location" where you can make the forms in the spiral go in a straight line. So I made a line of Orbit Traps "point" balls and then stretched/skewed them so that the balls were long, skinny ovals and Walla!...no, that's a town in Washington....Viola!...no, that's a tiny cello....Voila! lol. Anyhoo - hope y'all enjoy this one. Sorry I've been absent a lot the last month or two. Just got burnt out and exhausted but I think I've got my second wind, now. Thanks for stopping by! :-?) Rick ***(Fine art giclee' prints of most of my work are available in limited edition on archival paper or canvas - e-mail: drahcir3@hotmail.com and get busy filling that empty spot on the wall! Unique, "one-of-a-kind" (edition size = 1) prints are also available*** :-)

Well, I guess the Hot20 is good for something, for I missed this one earlier ;-) Unbelievable that this painting is a fractal. It's truly amazing. And beautiful too!

I honestly don't know where you find all these things in UF, and your ability to composite them is incredible. Just wonderful work

this is like, ridiculously good. for a week and a half of work and dominating the hot 20, I would definitiely think it was worth it. Hokusai, the great japanese artist would probably be doing something like this were he alive today. as for filling the empty spot on the wall...there's plenty of them...hmmmm...
