This piece is exquisite. Words alone do not build upon how great it is. However, there are some things that can be done to improve the overall flow of your masterpiece.

One thing is the overall darkness of the piece. I know you may have been going for this effect in the black and white composition, but a few more splashes of light on another layer may make a very prominent difference.

Another is the Mandelbrot spirals in the background. I see that you used them for texturization, but I feel as if a smoother composition would have made the piece flow better.

Thanks for the vote of confidence man

I totally agree with you on the texture thing, I'm finding it really hard trying to figure out how to texture at all. Any of the other formula I use seem to just make it a big noisy mess if you get me, any pointers on how to get smooth textures are welcome!

Do you know about coloring algorithms? I would suggest something from the tma.ucl file to texture your Mandy spirals. I personally use the Thin Orbit Traps option along with the Trap the Light Fantastic option. They can produce amazing results. Also, there are texture settings embedded in those Algorithms. Things such as FBM and Noise. These can add wonderful textures to your works

If you get a chance, note me, and I will gladly throw some texturized pieces together for you to learn from.

Thanks for the advice, I've given it a try you've probably seen in your message centre (Or here ), what do you think? I'm not entirely sure what you mean by colouring algorithms but I've always been a fan of tma.ucl, as well as sam.ucl and dmj.ucl

Actually I'd really like if you'd help me out if you've got the time Will send you a note

Well, TMA.ucl and SAM.ucl are coloring algorithms Just terminology I've picked up along the way.

And of course, man. I love helping those who want to learn.

I'm always interested in learning though i tend to do it in hops and jumps rather than a steady process lol
