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
Exqusite Photos (Can you open this link to www.photosig.com?).
Renderosity is a nice place to virtually meet interesting people and begin some nice friendships...

Great composition and fantastic texturing!
creanum
Great idea
Trixi
Mir geflt diese Formel immer besser. Das mit dem Schatten ist eine wirklich gute Idee. Besonders geflt mir auch dieser "rissige" Hintergrund.
Deagol
I am glad that Mint and Rick gave their suggestions. You did a great job of implementing them. These kind are the toughest to do and you have stepped up to the challenge nicely.

@Trixi: The cracks and fissures are made with the normal Mandelbrot lines, something I have seen in an image from Zemela: Entropy. Although I fear she did a better job than I did...

The shadow is impressive, as are the textures, colors and the whole of the composition. Excellent.

Fantastic! I really like this one a lot!
RodolfoCiminelli
It is a very ingenious and creative work...!! the combination in ways and objects give an excellent and surrealist fractal as a result...!!!

Nice one Andreas! The textures, shadows, and design are all awesome.

Stunning! Your textures are always amazing, and these are even more so! I like the variety of shapes you have highlighted and shadowed. The upper right corner is intriguing as well.
sophielerlei
i agree with all. great work in every detail and a original composition!

Since I am a retired teacher, I grade it A++. Let Mint know I love the shadows. ;-)
DaMonk
Just WOW!! Superb!

Very, very good, Andreas. The textures, colors and shadows are superb. I'm not so keen on the squiggly in the upper right corner, though, I preferred it without :)
kymarto
Wonderful mix of weird and wild elements. Great composition, colors and texstures too!
Riverhu
WOW! Amazing!

Great job. The background texture and shadows are excellent; and the oddball watch-like gadget is fascinating.
