What a most brilliant idea, and such a masterful realization!

Amazing, really amazing! I'm so glad you completed it--you didn't leave out a single element, which makes me very happy because my favourite elements are the kind that always get overlooked

Thank you!
Glad you're enjoying it!

If this had been hanging on the wall when I took chemistry in college, I would have found learning the table much more interesting, and beautiful.
Hmm, there's a thought huh?
Your creativity, the amount of time it had to take to render these individual images, and then to stitch them together, especially at the size you did, indicates a hi level of commitment. This is such a creative, and well realized idea. Congratulations on the DD

Thank you very much for your kind words. I worked on this while I was studying chemistry myself in college...so yeah, it helped tons! More than you would even believe!

It is truly an amazing group of flames, most unusual art, and I sincerely think it would be a great learning tool. I believe it would make learning the table easier to remember because of the association between the elements and the flames. Much more interesting.
And, you are very welcome.

Nice!
I know Carbon has 4 electrons in the outer shell and wants 4. In your carbon fractal each dot has 4 line segments emanating. Nitrogen has 5 and wants 3. The nitrogen has three line segments emanating from the center. Or is that just coincidence?
Is each fractal design some how connected with the element it represents?

Yes, this was done on purpose. I very carefully researched each of the elements before and during their design to try to represent them as accurately as possible.

This is amazing ^o^ haha totally unexpected too! I was just doing my homework when i came across this! Woke me up

Thank you very much! I really enjoyed making this.
To answer your question, yes. I spent quite a lot of time researching each individual element trying to best represent them in fractal form. For instance: Krypton. It is known to have green and orange spectral lines. I tried to replicate that as close as possible. For copper, most people picture the metal color, but I went with the aqueous solution color because for chemist and those in chemistry classes, it would be much more recognizable and memorable.

Thanks for the reply. Now I can see why it took so long to compile. Bravo.

This is just amazing, in every sense of the word. Absolutely stunning. Excellent work.

I thought I already had this in my favorites. This is one of my favorite fractals on DA.

Thank you very much! I'm really glad you like it.
Lots of time and research went into putting it all together.

It really is excellent. I wanted to do something similar with my piece Nucleus, [link] using the valence electron levels as the determining number for the julia xform.. but I hit far to many roadblocks. Unfortunately, I was still far to experienced in Apo for the concept to be met by my skillset.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Think you could give it another shot now?
What kind of roadblocks did you run into?
I was thinking you could flatten the julia xforms in the way that the "wire" / "tube" julia's are made, and if you use the julia power variable you can control how many "electrons" are in each level.
And just as an aside, I'm a huge fan of your work! I love the colors and the flow of the fractals, and have a ton of your wallpapers constantly switching on my desktop.

If I remember correctly, the initial setup is lost fairly quickly, so it was difficult to even change a small amount of params to get what I was after.. at least, while maintaining the original look of the flame. I think it would be possible with a different setup though. It would probably just end up looking fairly different than the original.
And thanks.. I have always loved fractals, so it's my pleasure to share them.

This is really amazing! The amount of effort and time this must have taken is absolutely breathtaking.
How exactly did you come up with what each should look like? I mean, are they based on their composition, or their traits?
