Done really quickly to keep up with my self-imposed one fractal every two weeks schedule. Hence it's not very original
Usual stained glass technique of mine. Also, you'd think it's easy to not use just one colour, but... it's really not. (If that colour is blue, and the fractalist is me.)

I really like the contrast of the black used here it brings out the details very nicely. KeepingΒ Β minimal colors was a wise choice also I think, too much color would have been a distraction here. <3 it!Β

Yup, I always try different schemes, but the soft gradient in this one worked much better than other possibilities I've tried, with much brusquer transitions. Thank you, I'm glad you like it

That was my intent with this kind of "style" - making a stained glass-like type of work
Thank you!

Oh I thought it was stained glass. I guess either I'm real dumb or you are really good at these.

Haha, wait, you thought it was an actual stained glass?

I love your style and tried to figure out already what coloring and formulas you use, but could not come up with anything useful

You can use any fractal formula to make these, and the simple OCAs work best for the depth effects - Smooth (Mandelbrot), Lyapunov, and Gaussian Integer for lighting
For the black outline, use Orbit Traps (UF3) with the "ring ripples" trap type and tweak the parameters until you get the outline. It won't always work, though, and the setting varies from fractal formula to fractal formula... you have to test it out and try getting the right combinations. Sometimes I keep at it for hours and I get nothing good out of it
I hope it works for you! I may make a tutorial for this at some point

BTW I didn't mean I was making my own work like this, using your suggestions as a guide- playing with simple OCA's for the depth effects and checking out that amazing Lyapunov effect, etc, when I got stuck on those trickyΒ Orbit Traps. ...I meant that's as far as I could read the previous comment before I was lost.
Also this is not supposed to be a critique or criticism or even a plea for help - I just was trying to be funny.
he truth is I'm sitting backwards right now, typing right to left, so it seemed a good time to admire your beautiful images. Β thanksΒ

It's fine, don't worry! I never took your words badly or anything, I took them as compliments
I will let you know if I make a tutorial, it makes me happy to help people and it would be cool if someone started producing fractals after being inspired by what I do. I hope you get something good out of it!

a tutorial would be good. I got as far as tweaking the parameters of the ring ripples trap type and then got kinda lost..

It does? That's an interesting coincidence, then
