Ultra Fractal 5.01My recent uploads have all been older re-worked images. This is one I've worked on many times.

Absolutely incredible! The textures are all done in UF? I know you are an expert with UF textures and this is pretty mindblowing!

This just goes to show that there's no reason for greyscale to be any less exciting than colourful work. The mix of textures, shapes, details, shadows and accents, not to mention the variety in shades of grey, adds up to a very interesting piece of work! It *does* remind me of that Klingon weapon, which I think is called a Batleth - no, I'm not really a Star Trek geek, but it's amazing what stuff sticks in the brain

Thanks! I like the idea of a fractal Batleth.
Greyscale can be difficult at times but I return to it again and again in the same way that photographers turn to black and white images. Strong shapes and good contrast are key to a decent image when there is a lack of color to draw (or distract?) the eye and not all images lend themselves to greyscale.

Wonderful colors! Really love the orange and red accents!

I'll tell you now, I missed these works. Glad to see you still around too.
On to the picture: when I first saw the metallic arcs in the spiral they immediately looked like little robotic bugs to me. The main crescent being like their "shell" and the red jewel in center being their hand. All space invaders style. That's neat.
I also like the entire metallic atmosphere you have here. Lots of bolts, even those not placed in the background, and very sharp sharps give it that techy appearance. Not to mention the colour-scheme. It's solid, and I love it :V

Fascinating! I'm not sure why but it brings to mind an old video highlighting computer animation, "Beyond the Mind's Eye" I think it was called, that had a sequence on robots in love. I suppose because it had the same theme of steel-acting-biological that I'm getting from this piece.

Great attention to detail as always. I love the screws at the corners. The spare color palette also appeals to me.

This is my new top favourite LaPurr. It is artistically beautiful and technically stupendous. A real pleasure to look at.

Some nice brushed metal textures going on here and the background plaque, complete with screws and the a hint of a hammered finish, is a great backdrop. I like the little touches of vibrant red/orange on an otherwise greyscale image too, they provide little areas of highlight and interest without detracting from the main metallic theme too much.

Awesome piece of work here Kat -- I like the look of 3 distinct separate pieces connected together and all being metallic. This is a very unique design!!

I love the red accent in the piece. You have captured the true essence of steel in both color and texture. The background is a perfect complement to the main fractal structure..... beautiful, Kat

Cold steel warmed by touches of red and orange. Perfect stamped metal background and textures and love the shadowing.
