Open full image in new tabDescription
Made with UltraFractal 3. Nearly sixty layers, many for texturing and masking. This is the third version that evolved over one week of working in UF, rendering intermediate versions to disk and enhance.
Thanks go to Mint (fractalgarden here) who suggested to add shadows and to Rick (Rykk here) who proposed a shaded egg in the center of the larger elliptic ring. But unfortunately I am really bad in constructing fractal eggs.
Any comments are welcome. Thank you for viewing.

Its fantastic, great idea, structure, texturing and name! And unusual.v
This is a wonderful image Andreas. Great textures and wonderful shapes and designs. Excellent work!
Great composition and fantastic texturing!
Great idea
Mir geflt diese Formel immer besser. Das mit dem Schatten ist eine wirklich gute Idee. Besonders geflt mir auch dieser "rissige" Hintergrund.
I am glad that Mint and Rick gave their suggestions. You did a great job of implementing them. These kind are the toughest to do and you have stepped up to the challenge nicely.
@Trixi: The cracks and fissures are made with the normal Mandelbrot lines, something I have seen in an image from Zemela: Entropy. Although I fear she did a better job than I did...
The shadow is impressive, as are the textures, colors and the whole of the composition. Excellent.
As always a very creative composition and a beautiful artistic concept. Congratulations !
I admire your patience:-)
Very nice image!excellent work!!
Adding shadows was a great idea!
It's a fascinating image! The shadows add a lot to it.
Fantastic! I really like this one a lot!
It is a very ingenious and creative work...!! the combination in ways and objects give an excellent and surrealist fractal as a result...!!!
Your hard work paid off handsomely. This image is a superb example of what can be done with UF by a skilled Artist. Congratulations! "V"
Superb vision and craftsmanship. Well worth all of the effort and time. Absolutely astounding! v
Great work! Original idea and well crafted!
Nice one Andreas! The textures, shadows, and design are all awesome.
Stunning! Your textures are always amazing, and these are even more so! I like the variety of shapes you have highlighted and shadowed. The upper right corner is intriguing as well.
i agree with all. great work in every detail and a original composition!
Since I am a retired teacher, I grade it A++. Let Mint know I love the shadows. ;-)
Just WOW!! Superb!
Very, very good, Andreas. The textures, colors and shadows are superb. I'm not so keen on the squiggly in the upper right corner, though, I preferred it without :)
Wonderful mix of weird and wild elements. Great composition, colors and texstures too!
WOW! Amazing!
Great job. The background texture and shadows are excellent; and the oddball watch-like gadget is fascinating.
Love the shadow and cracks... background, jewelled points, all of it.. guess I am feeling better as i write....
Very creative work!! Bravo!!
Great title for a super image !!!!!
