Wow, this is amazing! How on earth did you create this image? And how did you make the colours fade and merge so well like that? I most also ask this, feeling kinda silly but what do you mean you used "brushes"? I have seen you say you have made a new brush but err.....I am kinda confused ^^ Do you mean you painted this and made a paintbrush to use? I'm sorry I am not the brightest bulb of them all. Did you draw it then paint it and scan it? Or did you produce it on a graphic tablet or something?

This was actually created with a fractal program called Ultra Fractal
Fractals, as this particular art piece is, are mathematical generations made by such programs as Ultra Fractal and Apophysis. The key is knowing how to manipulate the equations to make a lovely image and/or editing several fractals in photoshop or other photo editing program
I hope I cleared some things up!

These are awesome, are the programs hard to use? I'm not very mathematically incline but I adore fractal art.

Thank you!
The programs can be difficult to use until you get used to them, but I can tell you right off you don't need an inclination for math to use them
Ultra Fractal isn't free, that's what I used to make this fractal. you can find more info at [link] to check out pricing for the newest version.
My favorite program is absolutely free though, it is called Apophysis. You can get the beta version at [link] , just do a search for aphopysis, or the old version at [link] .
A couple of other good freebies are fractal explorer and chaoscope, both easily found through google
Hope that helps you out!

Oh wow! so your using maths in art. I see now. You must be very clever to be able to manipulate it as well as you do, and there I was thinking of bristle brushes *slaps forhead* Ummm......if I were to do a picture would I be able to use your brushes if I disclaim them. I guess I seem kinda lazy though for not making my own background, but I can't seem to make a decent background of stars no matter what I do. Would it be ok?

You can use the brushes as long as credit is attached and it isn't for commercial use outside of DA prints
And before you think me a math genius (I tend to fail math lol) I do use it but the program calculates everything for me; I go for more the visual aspect and learning what results in what image (as much as can be done). Apophysis is free (www.apophysis.org) if you want to give it a shot; I promise it is very addictive and fun!

oh! That sounds like fun! I myself am not very good at math and never have been but if the program helps me calculate the equations and such then it should be quite entertaining! Thank you so much for your kind replies! In all honesty because of things like the number of pageviews and the standard of your work I was highly doubtful that you would reply to me because there are so many artists that have these qualities and never ever ever reply to their reviewers out of sheer lazyness. That annoys me, I have very little time for big headed twits!

Hehe well I hardly consider myself "popular" and to be honest I think the large amount of pageviews are highly due to the brushes I offer 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh cool, well I guess being a public artist does have it's beneifits eh? lol I still think its great the way you reply! *Grins* Lookin forward to seeing more art!

Spring flowers? Looks more like jumping jacks on acid to me. But then again that could be the Atarax talking.
It does convey spring and all things springy. Nice color choices also.

I love it. I especially love the fact that the smaller it gets, the more it looks like snowflakes. It suits the spring theme

Thanks so much! Yeah, I'm kind of glad I didn't submit this earlier when I made it (mid winter)...it goes so well with my mood now
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You're welcome. And it does fit the season right now, in between winter and spring.

oh my word.... those colors are perfect!! love the soft flow of the fractal.
and that is definately a new technique... i'm thrilled you mentioned that watermark thingy... cuz i've been so devistated putting it on my images cuz i know it ruins em.

Thank you!
Yes, I'm the same way, I loathe putting a watermark on things. But after seeing work of other artists used on e-bay, photoblog and various other sites, not to mention having my 3D work used as stock a few times, I feel much better putting it on there. I think this one works and looks more professional though; I found a random tutorial online how to do it heh.

it does look more professional indeed. and it's harder to try to remove the watermark too.
