Description
UF3, a Julia with the Distances Loop colouring algorithm (the same that produced the "Demons..." fractal.)
Photoshop for the layering and more postwork.
This image is inspired in one of the most famous frescoes from the Minoan Palace of Knossos, in the island of Crete: "The Bull-Leaping". It depicts a ceremonial game where men as well as women leaped over the body of a bull. The animal was NOT sacrificed at the end of the ceremony. The fresco dates back to the 15th century B.C. Mine is a free interpretation of the event.
A BIG thank you for your generous comments on my renders. You just make me happy in a very difficult period in my life.
