Description

Ultrafractal 4.03 (eggs and bkgd.) -- Apophysis 2.05b2-Z+ (plants) -- Composed/layered in Photoshop 7 Happy Easter, y'all! Yeah, it's getting up here pretty late - been spending all day having to render all of the ton of flames in this pic since the current Apo translation ucl doesn't handle some of the new variations in Apo. Namely "curl", which was one of the ones used in these flames. Bummer! What a lot of work! These are the best "plant" flames I've ever made and it was a drag I couldn't composite this in UF. Ah well, I appreciate a lot the ton of work that has been already done to keep the Apo/UF link mostly still open and I DID get really good at scaling, moving and rotating in PS with all the practice, so that's a good thing! There's always some little - or not so little - good thing in any experience we have if we just look for it... as shown by the incredibly good thing that came three days later that was caused by the "bad thing" that happened on Good Friday 2007 years ago :-) The background is a tweak of one of Joie's old UF images. Here's a link to her gallery - http://excalibur.renderosity.com/mod/gallery/browse.php?username=gargoyle84 I got to play around with the "smudge" tool to sorta blend it in some. Kinda fun. Anyhow, I wish you all a very happy Easter holiday - arguably the most important event in the history of mankind, imo. :-) Thanks for stopping by and watch out you don't step in the egg dye I spilled! lol 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*** :-)

You create some of the most wonderful Easter images! Every year I am so impressed with the amount of love that seems to go into them. Easter is a truly important day and a time of rejoicing! Happy Easter to you and yours!

God bless you Rick - that is superb. So much about it that is symbolic. Out of the cross - the flames - representative of the Spirit who was sent to be a comforter, just as the nest surrounds and protects the eggs - new life. Many listen, but not all hear. Well done.

Thank you for this sublime composition in which also the Christian aspect of Eastern is clearly visible (and not only eggs, chickens and hares).

normally i am not a great fan of those objective fractals, but this is so perfectly handcrafted. outstanding! especially the depth of te nest and the radiosity-style shadowing are showing once again, that you are one of the top artists here at rrosity. happy easter to you, rick!
