( Ultrafractal 3.04 with border and lettering in Picture Publisher 8 )
Yesterday, in an amazing scientific find, archeologists uncovered evidence of pre-Mayan culture in Central America. Five miles Northwest of the deserted village of Quetzlchuctl, deep underground in a cavern carved out by the fluctuating flow of a nearby river, archeologists Bertram Banali and Hiram Pedantic of the Nova Scotia Institute of Cultural Relics, Archeology & Philosophy uncovered rare crypt paintings left by a civilization believed to pre-date that of the Mayans. Above is a photograph released by them and showing a partial image of these paintings which cover most of the expanse of the cavern and seem to depict ancient warrior gods in battle scenes with mythic beasts. Said Dr. Banali,

Very interesting piece! The combination of colors and shapes blending into and out of each other is in a mosaic watercolor form is fantastic! Love the story! We must both have Aztec on the brain this weekend!! Wonderful creation Rik! (=

An exquisite image, with superb coloring, lighting, texture.

I must say this beautiful combination of colours brings to mind the effect of petrol on water - stunning :O)

What a great, bold use of colour and form, Rik. This would make a wonderful poster, if not painting! Excellence!! V

Are you sharing those mushrooms, Rik? lol Just kidding! What an interesting story to go with this VERY Mayan-looking painting!! One could get lost in the twists and turns in this image!! Maybe even fall through! Great lighting/shading, combined with the perfect gradient, makes this jump right off the page at you! Excellent, my friend!! V

this is a lovely painting - i think of slime moulds - part of the dynamic life of the forest floor - so much can happen with leaf litter - and sometimes there are glowing surprises - lovely sense of rippling motion (like the reefers) but lush with decay (if that makes sense) which, is the promise of new life

Didn't chew any plant leaves, but I DID put on my 3D glasses, and YOU OUGHT TO SEE WHAT I SEE! I love the story...it is so interesting and funny. I also love the painting. It is ultra dimensional, believe me!! lol.

Hi Rik, This is a unique and striking image you have created here! Bold, brilliant gradient! I love the depth and dimensionality! It feels like you are being drawn into the image! A most excellent and whimsical 'news release'! You know, if they had checked their Mayan Calender Stone, they would have known they were too late to find anything! ;~) Leanndra

Agree with avalonfaayre - try it with 3D glasses.(Don't bother with the mushrooms!) The pigments take on metallic hues. Wonderful! Loved the story too!

very nice archeologistic fractalized painting, Rik ... wonderful interpretation of what could have been something which would 'shock' the civilization smile
