Description
Ultrafractal 4.02 - Photoshop 7
Here's one with a little more color and a little more traditionally fractal. The next few I upload (unless the groove happens and pulls me off on a tangent - again! lol) will be fairly abstract. I'm trying to "disguise" some fractal images and make them look more like paintings. I'm thinking that maybe they might go over in the "mainstream" art world more if I can get a look like they are "hand-made"? Like many paintings, you need to stand back like 4-6ft away to get the full effect rather than looking way up close. This guy has a neat spiral that I found using Toby's "Painter's Trap" ucl during a 1-layer "challenge" in the Forum and just seemed to be dying to take a dip in the "lake". Spring's comin' and the water's getting warmer - woohoo!
Thanks for stopping by and I hope y'all enjoy this one. Holler if you need a towel! lol

I love the way you have used a textured 'paper' background. I will have to try this... Lovely work. Roz
Hey Rick, good to see an image from you... yes, this does have a more painterly feel to it. The "canvas" helped a lot with that... I adore these soft colors and your textures. Very nicely done!
What an elegant and tender beauty .This is perfection ,the shape those pastels and it does have a *handmade * look .Rik if you ever decide to make prints of this one let me know, I
dlove to have this .That's so wonderfull Rykk ;) warm colours, lovely. I think there is a group over here that are doing new things, thats great cause Digital Art is unlimited, just imagination, creativity and our self touch ;O) Thanks for this one !!!
A lovely work of Fractal Art Rick! So soft and tender with stunning and artistic postworked effects! Bravo!
a stunning piece of art, indeed worthed to print in huge size. RS
Whatever you try turns out to be a winner. Respect!
Exquisite image. Love everything about it.
Well nice Rick! Wonderful delicte art! :D
wonderful soft feel to this image; the colors are so delicately applied; background texturing is a nice, warm touch
A ~Caress to the Eyes~ EXCELLENT!! v
The colour, softness and texture make for a delicate painting - you have achieved what you set out to do - a joy :O)
Excellent texturing and colors! Beautiful details. Yes, I love it when you post a new one! V (:
Excellent and very creative realization....!!! Creative postwork......!!!!
Wonderful piece of art, Rick. I love the colors you used, the texture fits well for the painterly effect!
This is like watercolour on canvas. The shape was familiar too having seen it in the one-layer challenge. You're right about trying to create more fractal images that appear to be created by hand. I think this appeals to the general public more and I couldn't argue that this image would look great anywhere. You've certainly achieved your goal with this one and I'm really looking forward the next few you upload. This one is beautiful, I love the colours, the water, shape and background. Very well done.
Mit Schwanengesang hast du wieder ein kleines Kunstwerk geschaffen mein Freund. !!!!!!!
IMO the strong texture takes away a bit from the charming beauty of the spiral.
Lovely, graceful lines and elegant coloring! The texturing is very good, but maybe just a little strong for the delicate image. Absolutely gorgeous swan :)
I really like this but I would just rather you'd created it because it's beautiful and not to try and fit into the mainstream. Fractals are a genre in their own right - they don't need to look like they've been done by hand - if you want to do that, go get a paintbrush!
Amazing! Really looks like a painting on canvas!
Very nice Rick! Have a great day.
Stunning composition, as usual ! Love the colors and the postwork.
cool watercolor feel to it- a little too much canvas touch...see you;-)
Excellent!
Great success at achieving your goal! Beautiful softness and background texture!
Rick, Elegant, beautiful, breathtaking fractal art!
like a dragon tail as it goes underwater. super job
Nice one Rick!
Last one in's a rotten egg :) What an inviting environment! I particularly like the cut edges and pastels in conjunction with the awesome texture. That's some mo' fine painting you got here, Bubba!
