Description
Ultrafractal 3.02
Here's a re-work of my old "Pearl of Wisdom" image I thought I'd share with y'all and see what you think. I was in a "brown phase" when I made it and tried to give it a sorta hard, leather and stone midieval vibe therefore the "adamant" in the title.
Sorry I've been so scarce lately and also so slow with IM's. I'm heading up to Atlanta for the DragonCon Art Show tomorrow and I've been hustling my buns off trying to get everything ready for it. BIG show (attendance 20,000-25,000!) and the first one I've EVER been in and on top of being scared to death, I really have no idea what the heck I'm gonna do up there - lol. Reckon I'll just stand around with a dumb grin a lot and try not to be daunted by all the professionals that will be there. They stuck me in the "pro" area even though I'm about as amateur as it gets when it comes to art shows. Ah well - still exciting stuff(!!!!!) and if nothing else, I'll be able to say I did it once and get a t-shirt - lol I'll be back next Tuesday and let y'all know how it went. I'm hoping they'll let me donate the proceeds from one of my images to Hurricane Katrina relief but since it's an auction, they might think that's cheating or something. Or maybe they can ask all the artists to donate a piece and have a separate auction. Can't hurt to ask, I reckon...SO sad the situation in Ala, Miss, and New Orleans. I get choked up thinking about those poor folks.
Thanks VERY much for stopping by - if not for you guys' support, I'd never have been invited to the show. Y'all are the BEST!
Rick :-?)

This is such wonderful news Rick! Your art will really be a big hit at the show! You did a fantastic job on this Fractal..I thought it was an XD creation at first! WOW! It really has depth and detail! Excellent! My heart and prayers go out to all the Hurricane victims also!
I really like this one too. Great textures. Good luck at the show.
Wonderful work Rick.....!!! Impressive realization.....!!! V
You're too modest. From the litttle I've seen of your work so far, you'll wow them. this one is in the "tradition." As for that hurricane, our TV has shown something of the horror. Nature seems to be making this world into a vulnerable place. Regards, Cliff.
You'll knock'em dead at the show! Beautiful image, great colors and texture. Good luck.
wonderful designed scenery, Rick ... and good luck with your prospects =D
GOOD LUCK!!! The news is showing the devistation as I write this. Anything you do for the victims will be appreciated by them. Beautiful image here.
This is an awesome render...you succeeded in changing the whole aspect and feel of the original. I love your work, and IMHO, you deserve to be called pro. Good luck, hon. You have a heart of gold.
great mood. wonderful organic textures and colours. a fascinating artwork. #:O)
Very creative image with rich tones & textures & subtle use of lighting - great work...
Excellent dark and somber tones. Good luck at the show. If I had known about it I would have attended myself. I only live 150 miles away in Augusta, GA.
This is really a classic Rick, with your signiture sphere! I love how you were able to incoporate the design into both so seamlessly! I can't enven invision the effort that went into achoevin that! Awesome texture as well! Bravo, and wishing you the best at the ART SHOW! Now go and knock 'em dead! :)
Again, great textures, earth tones and abstract subject. Just love it! Best of luck at the show!
there is nothing about your art that is amateurish. pure professional quality!! good luck and I know your talent will bring you through with shining colors
Your artwork IS going to blow those folks away, Rick! Jest be yerself, and you'll knock 'em dead. This is a powerful and beautiful and outstanding piece of work. Love the textures and the sense of dimension. Perfect light and shadow play and palette, IMO. Excellent+++ Yes, what's happened in Ala, Miss and New Orleans is tragic. I have to say, I'm not surprised by your generous gesture.
This is great Rick...I like this colouring and texturing. Good luck with DragonCon (although I don't think you need it) I know your work will knock their socks off!! Have a 'wootabulous' time :)

I LIKE the old brown looks to your images Rick! This is no exception, and it's an excellent fractal! I hope the exhibition goes well - yes I can understand you feeling the way you do, but everyone has to start somewhere....
A perfect peice to bring into this "brown phase", Rick. Love how those rocky textures accentuate the design. Good luck with the showing my friend. Relax and have a great time.
