Description

This picture here was rather complex and took me several hours (over the course of several days (thank the gods for native formats!)) to perfect. Basically all I did was take a bunch of layers (all transparent except for the back ground) and placed different renders on each layer. The first (bottom) layer is black. The second layer is the star in the upper left (although it was the last render I did), the third is the spherical lines of flame. The third layer is a dark red spot done with The GIMP's Supernova effect. The fourth is a yellow star rendered with The GIMP's gradient flare effect (the red supernova added a ruddy hue that I think makes for a nice effect). Also, I did an extreme sharpen on flame layer and the effect is not unlike solar prominences (e.g. flares).

Thanks! I actually had to rework it because I had accidently flattened the original before I was completely satisfied (:

Thank you Dawn! I am really excited and impressed and astounded with all the feed back I'm getting from this image.

There's a certain part of the brain, when stimulated with a neurosurgeon's probe, that produces the probee to experience sensations exactly as described in near death experiences. You managed to do that without the surgery! Brilliant work indeed! Thank you so much for sharing :)

I like this - good use of colours and a very different use of fractals.
