Description This was probably the image I should have made after Winter's Grace, it felt good taking my time and working on this with no pressure from other sources. Brutal file, it's never a good thing when the pixels/second drop to less than 25 and the remaining timer counts upward for your render. I was going to render for print but this one took over 8 hours, this size.

Completely made with Ultra Fractal. Somewhat my traditional style but slightly new techniques tucked away here and there.

Probably the top one of all my non-printed works that I would love to have printed. Maybe one day when I can let my computer run for at least three days I'll try again with a smaller print.

The color-scheme has a distinct "Spiderman" feel to it. Perhaps I've seen too many previews of late. Nevertheless, I like how you have everything spiraling from that off-centered orb. Good composition.

Aeires In reply to cooley [2007-01-19 02:11:43 +0000 UTC]

Hadn't noticed that before but I can see it now. Glad you noticed the orb, it's a clear one that's subtle. I used it to cover a way too tight spiral and make it less flat.

Well done!! I know little of UF but have always admired the artists that really know how to use this program as you do. ~Rykk is one that comes to mind as does ~kat

DeepChrome [2006-12-31 05:14:09 +0000 UTC]

Very nice. I like the red/white/black combination here. It feels more like Apophysis' rotational than a UF, and I think that's part of why I like it. It doesn't slot neatly into a fractal done by either of these programs. The center is especially interesting, especially the way it's positioned in the image.

Aeires In reply to DeepChrome [2007-01-20 06:13:50 +0000 UTC]

Thanks. It's more abstract than fractal, even though it's 100% fractal (frame included). I think I pushed my own personal boundaries more on this than any other.

teddybearcholla In reply to ??? [2006-12-31 03:40:28 +0000 UTC]

Awesome render !!! And the perfect title!!!
It reminds me of when we used to take corkboard and glue it on to a thick piece of wood... then layout a pattern similar to the white, in your render...pound nails in strategic places ..then wrap string continuously around the nails until we had the design we wanted. Well that is a poor explanation, but I hope you get the idea!!!

Aeires In reply to teddybearcholla [2007-01-20 06:16:04 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I made a few of those when I was a kid. For a while they were really popular but I haven't seem them done in years.

That's a great fractal! If ya scroll up at the bottom half, it looks like it's actually spiralling inwards!
