Description
A conceptual vision of universal 'heat-death' - not, as I originally took it to mean, death by heat, rather the death of heat. Whole galaxies sit suspended for eternity in icy skeins, testament to an age that only was. Even entropy is spent.The curious rime effect is obtained by use of a small filter radius (0.1) coupled with large master scale (100) and suitable gradient.

This is amazing. The texture looks so 3D and lifelike.

Thanks, Claire! Although maybe "lifelike" is slightly inappropriate

mmm love the texture and the gradient. Gave me the shivers when I first saw the layered stalactitic, amoebic anomaly
(yup big words in my vocab today I'm feeling edumacted)

"edumacted" - surely a coinage?

heh, not really just something I heard from a friend once. I think it stemmed from those hooked on phonics commercials.

Yes, I just checked it in the Urban Dictionary - remiss of me not to originally

Roflmao. Right before I read your description, I was staring at this piece, thinking, "Frozen. Icy? No, it's not cold, it's just the absence of heat. Layers. There are so many layers."

Surprisingly, this program doesn't have layering capabilities - all layers must be generated within a single layer 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
>> Oh, no. I didn't mean layers in the piece, more like layers of thoughts.
But yes, seeing through...

"Melancholic" is such a good word here, and not one I'd previously considered

Excellent detail and the ash-coloured organic look is so amazing!

Holy cow, I was on the same thread with a frozen universe. Love the rich textures of ice in this, and nice job on the spiral sections.

Than you indeed! I shall be interested to see how your own turns out

Looks to me as a sea storm frozen in time... well if the universe has to end... at least let it be beautyful...

This is a great concept and is very unique. I feel as though the heat is leaving my body by just looking at it. Very effective. :cold:...hey there is no emoticon for that.

Thanks! Yes, it's certainly strange, not an effect I've seen in fractal art before - push those boundaries

I don't even know how to explain how incredibly impressive it is that you've managed to mimic the features of frozen water.
To my mind its equivalent to a master painter producing a photo realistic portrait. A job very well done my friend

I stumbled on the effect then sought to maximise it! Thank you indeed
