Description

Ultrafractal 3.02 Since there's a big hurricane fixing to knock on my doorstep 2nite, I figured the occasion called for a spiral - though this one spins clockwise rather than counter-clockwise. Minor detail - lol. This one is an attempt to emulate the styles of two great fractal artists that I admire - Gilles Nadeau and Mint - and a bit of a return to more fractal roots. The brown shades reflect the brown hues Gilles often uses and I like a lot and the texturing uses the "fbm Popcorn Trap" ucl by Mark Townsend of Apophysis fame that I admired in viewing Mint's excellent work over the years. The base formula is "Cubic Julia2" in the "spr.ufm" folder and there's a layer of "Doodads" ucl by Dennis Magar in the "ldm.ucl" folder overlaid. Wow, check this...only FOURTEEN layers! I be slackin'! lol Thanks for stopping by and I'll "see" y'all when they fix the electricity around here - took 6 days last time but I should be able to check in from work maybe mid-week. Provided I still have a roof 2morrow - knock on wood! Take care, everyone and stay safe!

Rykk, you are so good! (Sounds dumb,huh?) This is a delicacy for the eyes. The beautiful browns, golds, reds, and creams...layered to a perfection giving it the appearance of oiled parchment. The sparkled spirals accenting the movement, and the icing, The gleaming pearls. I could look at it for a year! **

Beautiful spiral Rick! Gloriously soft shades of brown, and a very enticing design. That bay leaf is extraordinary, as are the wondrous pearls swirling around the design! Top notch, as always, sir! Unfortunately, the spirals heading your way aren't this pretty. Godspeed!

A really superb image, and the most incredible thing is that you did not used flames!!! :-) I really love this image. It demonstrates how a more 'classic' fractal image can be really magic! Beatiful work!

Bay leaves are often used to keep bugs away from crawlspaces... let's hope these keep hurricanes away from your roof. ;) There's so much to see in this exquisite image, Rick... and I've just got to keep staring! Incredibly gorgeous work!! :)
