Description
UF 4, Advanced Gnarl ufm, Advanced Gnarl, Gnarly Orbit Traps, and Soft Gnarly ucl's. Added a Pixel/Gradient center light background for focus and Janet says you can never have enough texture so threw in a Chuchulain for the heck of it.
And some Unsharp Mask in Photoshop 7.
Started this last April. It's been languishing in my unfinished folder since then. Dan K.'s recent gnarly abstracts inspired me to explore the ufm more.

very interesting fractal work. - it's a vanilla-chocolate-caramel-mix. very tasty!
I think it's beautiful! It reminds me of some sort of river of fire, swirling around and dissolving anything it touches. Beautiful image, Ed!
I agree with gumbykat, it's really wonderful and it has a very special depth ;O)
Very nice gnarly art.
Nice coloring and texturing !
I'll be interested to see how it looks and your secert of doing it. This looks real nice. :)
Very nice, chocolatey colors 'n' gnarly details! Great texturing, and I like the depth as well. Very nice work! (:
