Description
Ultrafractal 4.01
Here's one that's actually a VERY radical tweak of a previous abstract piece I made called "Armistice". I went nutz with the new "Explore" feature in UF and came up with this one. When I made the shapes, I noticed this neat zoom that reminded me of a prehistoric scene or maybe some Heavy Metal magazine type scene or a scene from the French animated movie, "Fantastic Planet". I was almost going to call it "Bedrock" after the Flintstones' home town. Since "Fred's wife", Hurricane Wilma, is projected to pass pretty close to Palm Bay on it's way out into the Atlantic, it kinda got me thinking along those lines - lol
Thanks for stopping by!

Added 1-18-06: I entered this image under the title, "Bedrock", in the 2006 art contest at the Museum of Computer Art in Brooklyn, New York (moca.com) - the "Donnie" award. I reckon that's like "Oscar" or "Emmy". To my amazement and joy, it won FIRST PLACE! How cool is THAT???

I am in awe! I just love the organic palette with the touch of green. You have really outdone yourself here Rykk!!!! Beautiful texturing too. Wow. :)
earlier Winter :-) Cool and creative landscape look my friend real orginal!!
Splendid anc very creative work Rick....!!! Very original forms.....!!!!
Way too cool. Very innovative. Nice work.
Strange! My first impression was of the cockpit of a downed aircraft, but that shape doesn't continue into the picture so the idea doesn't "take off." Instead we have bones - a Rykkosorus - a beast that demands a huge imagination to wrestle into shape. A spiky sun too, we seem to have escaped a discouraging world. Anyway I like. of course, and not that the opinion means much. Cliff.
Marvelous. I can imagine a Sabertooth crouching on the upper ledge - like a scene from "Ice Age".
Oh, I like.. Very, very good,,
Firstly, I want to thank you for the lovely comments you left in my gallery that was very sweet of you. I hope you don't mind me saying this. I always like looking at art and use my imagination to what I can see there. Here I see a 1940's plane crashed into a tree like on the films in the jungle. Also the sun is shining. It looks like the wing is bent upward. If anyone reads this they are going to think I am mad but it's what I see. It really is unique and excellent like all your work. big vote Cathy xoxoxo
Another master work, Rykk, and another VOTE for you. ;O)
I too see an airplane that crashed into a tree . But airplane or dry bones it is a fantastic picture that I`d love to hang in my den .

Wonderful pre Dawn fractal scene Rick! Bravo! I hope Wilma passes by harmlessly! How's the job? ;)
These bones were uncovered by the recent hurricanes and storm surges! Rykkosaurus indeed! Isn't it amazing how the greenery pops up and takes over the bared land. This is terrific, Rykk. I love that explore feature too :)
