Description
Ultrafractal 3.02 and 4.01 - sig and high pass/vivid light sharpened with Photoshop 7
I've been in sort of the mode of going back and re-visiting some of my older stuff. Got messing around with one I made in '03 called "Season of the Witch" - http://www.renderosity.com/viewed.ez?galleryid=519917&Start=55&Artist=Rykk&ByArtist=Yes
I'd started just messing with the coloring of the "spells" or balls the "witch" is tossing out into the world and ended up changing the background, too, so I figured I'd give this one a new name rather than "#2" since it's a good bit different - better? It got kinda darker and spookier - go figure, a day (or two) late and a dollar short for Halloween. What a slacker! lol
Heading out 2day for an "emergency" safari to Sanibel Island for a quick few days of shelling - woohoo! Only 2 weeks left until I have to go back top work so this is my last chance for a long while. The tides are lined up just right so I'm heading out to see if I find a junonia this year. Wish me luck? Linda, I'm thinking of you and Mike especially now since we both love the place - hang in there!
Thanks for stopping by for a game of "marbles" - lol

Wonderful sci-fi like picture :) Love the colors in this one - very beautiful ::) Great atmosphere :) V
A wonderful and very creative work my friend.....!!! V
Oh my word definitely one of your best this is just fantastic! Why don't you make some background images and sell them on here. I reckon you would sell out V Cathy xoxoxo
Beautiful image Rick, it's a dream!
Cool modification of a masterpeice. I love how the devilshape cradles all the spheres. Fantastic blend of texture. ROCK ON RICK!
I like this one much better than the original - it's more vivid and has more depth of field and mood. The purple-green spheres remind me of rainbow fluorite, my favorite rock.
The image gained a lot of effect on me by your tweak.
Like it all, a great picture and 3d world special compliment for the floor part that,s sublime and also the soft water effect there in the end of the background, that you can create spheres that ,s not a real surpice LOL Very cool end result Rick
This one sure puts a spell on me. What a lovely work you did with the spheres and the background and the colours and the starry night and....
Superb! The witches "arms" are fantastic, it literally looks like they are hurling the balls into the atmosphere. I like the glow of light behind the main ball and just below the witch arm too. Really nice!
Great Halloween image .I just got my witchball it came right through the screen .....now what do I do with it ??
WOW! WOW! WOWZERS!!!!!!! I wish I could give you a zillion votes for this one! Excellent, beautiful work. I love it when you get spherie! You're a master! V (:

Nothing short of stunning Rick! I am glad you decided to work on it, keep the witches in work I say, and full of mischief! hehe
cool spheres , colorwork and composition!
Very fine compositional work. Nothing short of astonishing.
You made a masterpiece even better Rick, excellent done!
Always spectacular!!!
Another superb piece, Rick!! The colors really set the mood, the flooring is awesome, the red glow really brings it all to life! Excellent
I like the picture, like the composition, like the colour contrasts (the blue and orange work particularly well), and the fact that you have imparted an other-worldly mood. I'm worried though to have offered these opinions from a tyro to a master. Apologies! Cliff.
Great work! Great color! Great composition!
Outstanding! A real trip to another beautiful world. Great work! Wen
WOW! What an improvement! The same design and composition are still present, but the depth and color is breathtaking! Truly a stunning piece, and most magical! Bravo Rick!
Great composition
I like the tiled floor:-)
