Hoo boy, lots to say about this one:

This is an exploration of the "Super Mandelbrot" coloring algorithm in lkm3.ucl. It's kind of a weird alg to work with because it basically ignores whatever is on the formula tab, but I highly recommend you check it out because it is very beautiful and unique.

omfg I did so much detailed technical work on this thing. Of course I try to put a good amount of effort into every image but this one took WAY more than average, mostly in the form of painstakingly using masks to isolate pieces of the image so I could get the colors I wanted without screwing up the colors in the rest of the piece.

Artistically, I tried to not fall back on my usual habits... I'm not sure if it really worked but I do think at least the approach to gradient control is a bit atypical for me, in that I usually don't like to allow visible color banding...

Part of my wants to release the params for this but oh my gosh you guys they are so huge. By the end of making the piece UF was hanging almost every time I made an edit, and my computer is BEASTLY. I guess anybody who wants to look at the params can request them, just be warned that working with them might take a lot of patience.
