Description
January 14th would have been Javier Ontiveros' birthday.Javier had a lot of friends that he touched in a very personal way that only he could do.
Javier sent me several of his Xenodream files in the process of our friendship and sharing ideas. This is one of them.
It was originally called Arachnoid2. I was not comfortable with the idea of doing a render of his exact image. It didn't feel right. Still, I wanted it to be his.
What I have done is simple:
I resized the image to widescreen- 1920x1200.
I made a moderate change of the camera view.
Lastly, I changed the metamorph and used an apophysis image for gradient.
I take no credit for this piece of art other than that I can say thank you to Javier for your inspiration and friendship.

Thanks Anna. It does have that look with the
metamorph I used. Still it's all Javier's design.

He was Larry. Very talented artist.
He was always involved also. As it says in Lily's
journal he was one of the original founders of the Apophysis group.
He was involved on many websites for art.
