Description
Ultrafractal 3.05 - Photoshop 7
Here's another more fractal one I've hung onto for a good while. Made during my "brown period". I got off (still do) on Gilles Nadeau's great fractals that were almost always in shades of brown and worked in that vein for a good while. The guy is a true artist in the finest sense of the word. Of course, it sorta played into my hand some because my biggest problem in using UF is in coloring - saved me from having to worry about "should this green be darker?" or "should this part be green at all and does it clash with the purple???" lol.
Made this guy with Susan Chambless' great "Embrangle" formula in sdc.ufm. The spirals you get are maybe not so varied but they DO have a distinctive air that is readily recognizable and different from any other .ufm's I've used. And, my much used "fbm Popcorn Traps" in mt.ucl with a few layers of Thingamajigs II from tma.ucl and Sine-mod II from djk.ucl thrown into the mix for good measure.
Thanks for stopping by and for all of your wonderful support that has kept me going when I might have easily just moved on to some other, less rewarding pursuit. Of course it has "rewarded" me with this spare tire around my belly from sitting in front of a pc so much! lol (Starting to get a "handle" on that - pun intended - which is why I'm a little scarce lately. "Roadwork" and iron - 20lbs down and only 35 to go!)
c-ya!

I agree with you, colouring is the biggest problem using UF. But I think you got a wonderful result ;O) This reminds me an octopus just peeping what's happening up there .... LOL. Splendid work!
that looks somehow like a creature of some sort. Look at it and it will speak to you!!
Awesome spiral design and superb texture work! This gradient of colors is very beautiful. Perfect tonal balance- love the shadow play and resulting depth. Outstanding. Happy Easter, Rick!
Wonderful texturing 'n' details! Excellent work! (:

excellent work!!
Definitely has a biological look to it. Great texturing too.
I really enjoy the testures that drive your brown fractal train Rykk. [=
I don't understand a thing you said about the formulas, etc. in UF, but I DO know that this is an outstanding fractal, as usual. You never fail to amaze.
Fantastic! I love Embrangle, and it's so much fun to play with. Great job :)
Very cool shape,top notch here!!!
The colours are beautiful and several wows for the textures!
Oh how beautiful and metalic looking! I love the textures! It is like I can almost feel them. Incredible work and continued good luck with the weight loss!
brown is not a color easily found in the fractal world.it is an amazing color
