Description
fractals + painting + camera + scanner + way too much timeFinally finished. I had an idea and started working on this last year. I love abstract/conceptual work with 3D renders so I thought, why not do it with a fractal render? I made the main fractal (flowers) but my mom saw it and wanted it on her wedding invitations. I was really hesitant because this piece is how I saw them in my head. I agreed to use the render for her invitations, and was going to just abandon this piece forever but the idea wouldn't allow itself be killed so easily. I had a very specific image in my mind and had to learn all of the skills I needed to be able to see it on screen. I thought my mom might be pissed at me for vandalizing her invitation design, but luckily she likes it and I'll live to paint another day.

Amazing! But I must admit, if I just happened upon that on the shore, I'd prolly pull out a sword.

That took a lot of effort I imagine and it came out beautifully. I love the bright colors and it has such a happy atmosphere and so ...what's the word... I want to say childlike but not in a negative way at all. Learning all those skills really inspires me and ..okay, I can't think of anything else. Will a +fav work? XD

thank you, I don't think childlike is a bad thing... children have a lot of great qualities they usually lose touch with as they get older
thanks for the fav too

Oh my goodness! I know it says "Advanced Critique Encouraged" but honestly, I don't think it's possible. The colors and how intricate everything goes together is phenomenal. You deserve this DD, congratulations.
