Description This twisted, spiraling snowflake was purely Apophysis 2.07 beta and my imagination going wild with the rendering. I really do love blue-- its shades are just so cold and icy that it appeals to my frozen soul so very much. LoL, so emo... but I love winter.

Thank you so much! I'm glad you caught it right away. Perhaps you can visit a place one day where it snows and get a feel for it. It's really awesome.

yeah, i know... i lived on a much colder place when i was a child and i loved snow... but in our part of germany, it mostly often snows twice or thrice a year and even then it's just a little bit...

now that i've looked on your pic i'm missing snow so much Oo

Ah I see. Perhaps travelling a bit north sometime might help. Hope you get a chance!

Papagei In reply to ??? [2008-01-06 10:22:47 +0000 UTC]

I like how its spiralling away and dissolving... Makes me think of a fir tree with snow on its branches that is getting chopped down. It's very pretty! (all fractal works I've seen so far are )

simonsaz3 In reply to Papagei [2008-01-07 17:29:04 +0000 UTC]

Hehe, thank you so much for the insight. It does look like a chopped down fir tree with snow, now that I think about it. I didn't intend it to but I guess that works too! I love multiple meanings behind art-- it's so awesome. And yes, of course, fractals are truly amazing!

Me too, it's amazing how differently people interpret images, especially in more abstract works!

I agree... I abstract art for that reason.

overlordofthepies In reply to ??? [2007-12-31 22:40:21 +0000 UTC]

It almost looks like a flurry, especially with the sort of particles sweeping around the edges. The cool shades really suit the theme for this one.

Hehe, thanks! I kept the design that way on purpose so it looked like it was gaining speed, and of course I couldn't resist the blend of blue shades. Oh, and thank you so much for the !

anthonydraco In reply to ??? [2007-12-31 03:37:33 +0000 UTC]

Wonder if it's gonna be cold just like the real? Or if it's gonna be crunchy and crispy in your hand? If I break the flake, is it gonna feel like breaking a piece of snowy ice?

This piece makes me wonder...

No prob.! I just love the snow and snowflakes as well! You should consider making this available as a print.

Hmm... that's not a bad idea, to be honest, but I still haven't read up on how prints really work.

Dats true. I should make some of my stuff prints too.

simonsaz3 In reply to Liquidfire3 [2007-12-31 18:33:55 +0000 UTC]

So how exactly do they work...? I read about them in the FAQ section but I'm still confused.
