Redirect to original
Description Another architectural influenced fractal. Haven't decided on whether this is a reflection of the sky on a building or some type of futuristic bridge with the support cables shining in the sun. You decide.

One more formula that I almost gave up on. I've been working on this without success since right after finishing Decay. It pays to save files and chip away from them a little at a time. I refuse to get beat by numbers so I kept jabbing.

100% Ultra Fractal. Yep, those clouds are fractals.

*Framing just didn't work on this one. Might submit for print, I'll see how it goes.

Absolutely amazing UF work!!!! I'm very surprised at the elegance of this one... very inspiring! I just started with UF a few weeks back after spending 3 years with Apophysis hehehe... Take care man and keep up the fantastic work!

LeonieZurakowsky [2005-12-23 03:45:50 +0000 UTC]

Beautiful "shot" - which is what I often consider fractals! I like your use of a monotone palette to convey a grand and universal theme. Super shiny archi-shapes with clouds slipping behind - what could be more perfect! Fave!

Thank you. I like architectural and nature fractals the most so this was a great combination of the two for me to make.

Yep, pure fractal work. Biggest reason I love UF so much is the potential it gives you to create so many types of fractals.

f4ever [2005-11-07 19:05:45 +0000 UTC]

Quite possibly one of the best fractals I've ever seen (I was surprised to learn that the clouds weren't PS-ed). The repetition backing off into negative space is really eye-catching and your color scheme works very well in this piece. Personally, I think a black border would have worked fine. Would love to see this as a print/bigger piece (even though I can't quite afford it ^_^). Is this a cropped version, or did you make your canvas taller than it was wide ('cuz this one'd look really nice as a desktop background or something as well)?

oo those clouds are sexy.. i really like the colors.. they blend in very well.. and those block things... the way they kinda just cover the clouds

deloulark [2005-10-18 09:16:22 +0000 UTC]

This is awesome. I love how it's kind of an optical illusion... my eyes seem to get confused when I look at the solid bars - they seem to reverse to the cloudy bars at the bottom. Love the colour pallette here as well.

JayceCruel [2005-10-14 22:16:18 +0000 UTC]

I like the gun-metal against the sky. It really works well

However, there are a few spots where it looks like the sky shows through the metal framing? There is a spot on the bottom that especially sticks out...

I don't know if that was intentional, but, IMHO, maybe you could have used an extra masking layer on the cloud layer(s) so that the sky background doesn't show through the gun-metal slats...just a small suggestion

Otherwise, it's a great image!

Aeires In reply to JayceCruel [2005-10-15 02:48:38 +0000 UTC]

Thanks, that was all part of the illusion. It creates a scene that defies clear explanation, adding to the depth.
