monologe on free transform fractals

[Thunderwave]

Here's another one using this method.

And here's another one!

Okay, I am obsessed!

I made one for ice, earth, but now I must make one for fire.  It reminds me of anime.
Now I need one for air, water, space, time, etc.....

the purpose of this artform was not to be pure fractal. it was to let people have more control over fractals so they could be more artistic therefore they are sort of hybrids between fractal and photomontoge.

and by the way sorry about the punctuation I will fix it when i talk i get so excited I forget. 

[matty686]

very nice fractal.  do keep in mind however that there is pretty much unlimited ways to do this. you can make trees, ferns, spirals, gaskets, millifiori  beads (virtual ones) and many other things you don't have to follow the directions exactly that is the fun part. I can't wait to see how you develop as a new artist.    by the way just curious what license is your art I make my stuff public domain so people can use it as fractal seeds (just my personal choice) 

[matty686]

OK clearly I did something right because you mastered this pretty well.

[Thunderwave]

Thanks Matty!  I love this idea!  I'll have more later.

[Thunderwave]

Oh, I don't really know where to put my art in what domain.  I guess it's free to use as long as I am credited and thank you for the complement!
Here's my latest:

[matty686]

yup that's called a creative commons license you must credit the maker

sorry I may have confused you with why this is important but these fractals can involve lots of reusing art and that can be a fun way for too artists to have an art conversation  by me making things public-domain it  means it no-longer belongs to me but to the entire human society i would not advise doing this if you aren't OK with other people selling your work (they can't copyright it however so you could still sell it) but yeah any way I use public domain because of my religious beliefs

 the background was made to look like a cake on gimp  four roses were placed than I assembled modules  from the roses in a separate inkscape file  when the modules were complete i placed them into the first image and tiled them into place  


the first image is the fractal

the second image is one of the modules

[matty686]

this fractal is my best example of how you can achieve near perfection by trying hard enough even without formulas

[Thunderwave]

I admire your work.

[matty686]

It's not that hard you just have to plan everything out, grow the appropriate modules to grow the modules you need after you have built those put them together the modules must begin to converge around your idea also key-framing (re-saving as you go under a list of names) helps a ton as it allows for time travel so you can fix mistakes
