Rotten Fractal (Dancing Octo) by abmlober

But now it seems I tweaked too long, the whole thing begins to dissolve... (LOL)
UF 3.03, no PP except resize, USM, signature.
Do you know? The world is full of patterns and designs. If you have seen one, it leads to others, you can vary them, play with them, ...BIOBorn in December 1, 1963, Germany. Studied mathematics and physics in Heidelberg (lost my heart there :-) I still live not too far from this wonderful town and enjoy visiting it as often as possible.
I started with Fractals in October 1999. It did not take long until I noticed that writing colourings is my true fractal desire :-)
Inspired by Damien M. Jones, Mark Townsend, Edward M. Perry, Samuel Monnier, and others
I began to imitate their style. Being a software developer I finally found my own coding style in UF.
After a while I found some friends in the UF world whom I share my ideas and images and ... with.
They give me the impetus for creating new UF code. They show me what an artist can create with it :-)
And now? Now I look over all my pieces of code and try to reorganize them in a way that allows me
to create code with them more or less automatically :-)
Or I take a sheet of paper (!!!) and a pencil (!!!) and sketch some patterns and designs
and hope to find some time to transfer them into UF code.
But these patterns do not really fit into the fractals. Fractal processes distort them and
disturb the geometry. And thus I changed from making fractals to creating 2D geometric designs.
I still use my fractal program - because it can manage making images from mathematical code.
Who inspires me in the real world:
Paul Klee
Wassilij Kandinskij
Francis Bacon
Good old Single Island Malt (colour, scent, taste, warmth, ...)
Sometimes traffic signs or a new T Shirt design (please don't laugh (at least not too loud))
Water colour paintings

I like the inner part of it best, kind of spiral with jewels.

Very organic, I love it.

Very cool! I think there is more than one octo. I see lots of tentacles! This is great, Andreas!
ead
I agree with Jenny - still has the creator's spark and very much alive. Wonderful image, Andreas, and exceptionally well persented. I love the "mat" seen through the holes in the image. Thank you.

this is fabulous, andreas...it reminds me, too, of an old tree--gosh there is so much to see in this image, and all absolutely wonderful!!!!

Fabulous textures!!!! Very organic!
redbeard
It is deep in the forest, light barely reaching, tree branches and roots tangled, searching for air and water, living, decaying, natural.
LindaB
It reminds me of a dark fairy tale forest. I really like it!
Deagol
Outstanding. Worth the effort
beyondthezero
Great design, nice textures, and the frame is excellent. Very interesting too.
thomas_e
Yes, very natural and organic - and mysterious! Reminds me of Alice in Wonderland and Magic Mushrooms... Wonderful image!
figharo
Very strong. It seems to be evolving from the fractal to the organic, or perhaps the other way around? It's very evocative and specific at the same time.
pteb
Love the root shapes.
sophielerlei
WOW! it's definitely worth the effort. this is a masterpiece! i love every detail of it. looks like an illustration for a fairytale. like hsel und gretel should be coming out of this very deep forest.

Wonderfully dark and sinister. It has the same magical atmospheric moodiness as my favourite Linda Bergkvist image.
moeghan
Brilliant render, an image from enchanted forest.
DaMonk
Fantastic textures and a very earthy feel!! Great job!
Rykk
An incredible display of texturing skill, Andeas! I have sat here looking at this for 10 minutes and am still finding new apsects to it - even the frame is a work of art. Outstanding work!

Absolutely gorgeous!! :)

I also agree with Jenny! I think you have just the right amount of tweaking and the perfect colors and designs! I think you have great talent Andreas!

Enchanted forest is right! This is brilliant, Andreas, well worth the time you spent on it. I also applaud your patience and perseverance :)
