As a child i loved soap bubbles and my Mum often wondered why her washing-up liquid was empty so fast *grin ... now in fractaling this is one of my favourite styles, so many different ways to present bubbles ... i never get tired of making these and love the transparency and how different gradients bring out different parts of the bubble, just as real soap bubbles in the sunlight all shine and reflect differently. For me they have something magical :-)

Many fractals are abstracts, a lot look like flowers, spirals are very common... but occasionally i have the pleasure of making fun fractals, creatures or defined forms that leave no doubt as to what they represent. Here just a few of my favorites from this Category, hope they bring a smile to your face too.

If there is one type of fractal that i really enjoy and cant stop doing, its fractals that look like flowers or plants. Its a challenge every time for me to try and get different petals and shapes. So here is a small selection of some of my favorite nature fractals.

Plants of Purity

Plants of Purity

I named this one "Plants of Purity" because of the colors i used, in color symbolism some of the positive associations to white are light, purity, peace, innocence, cleanliness, simplicity and security, and gold is the color of riches, wealth, extravagance, praise and excellence. For me this fractal is in one way simple looking but also portrays a feeling of warmth and positivity.

Textured Spirals

Crackled Spiral 1

Crackled Spiral 2

Crackled Spiral 3

Crackled Spiral 4

Crackle is more commonly used to describe a sound but it can also be used to describe glazed pottery or glassware bearing a decorative surface network of fine cracks, and as you can see thats exactly what the variation called crackle does in Apophysis.
By changing the variables (size, power, distortion etc) of this variation you can get many different types of "cracked" looks, here just a few results i have been able to get on a simple spiral.

Happy Anniversary

English Rose

This one is a very personal one for someone very special to me.
"Happy Anniversary" my Love!
(again a bit late lol, sorry :D )

Faintly Flowered

Faintly Flowered

Not very often i do a render on a white background but sometimes i like this faint pastel look that shows up the details of the texturing on this one nicely. Second Post today because i missed doing one yesterday.

Water Fantasy

Down the Drain

Experimenting with the new version of Apophysis 3D, using the DOF which gives a fractal more depth by softening and blurring some parts. Im happy with the result even if i haven't quite figured it out totally yet.

Fractal of the Day

Enchanted Garden

I named this one Enchanted Garden because it looks like a place where fairies and elves might like to dwell on a wintery moonlit night. The cool glowing colors add a mysterious aura, a gradient that worked very well with this image.

Happy New Year!

Champagne and Fireworks

A Fractal a Day keeps the doctor away...well it does for me lol, so this year im going to try and post at least one fractal a day, sometimes i render more than one but i will pick the one i think is my personal best of the day.... For today my personal "masterpiece" from 2008 is called Champagne and Fireworks...it took me nearly a month on and off to make it, i made it from scratch, carefully placing each transform to shape the champagne glas i was determined to get.
So heres wishing everyone a bubbly, healthy and prosperous Happy New Year!
