thanks luvie! I love how it turned out fractals for me are literally a shot in the dark. If I had to explain how I created them...I'd be screwed for lack of a better word hehehe!

Mine are the same. Play around until an image says "pick me." Then fix the colors et voila. (You, I think, may do more post with yours. I haven't figured that part out yet.)

Actually most of the wallpapers have no postwork at all - it's the framed prints that get the postwork just a bit of framing, color tweaks etc.

This brings up a point I've been meaning to make about several of your works. You usually frame your manipulation pieces. You include the name of the work, your artist's signature, and often other enhancements and flourishes. I have noticed that you occasionally get comments even about the fonts you use. I just want to say that I find your framing to be unusually effective in most cases. You clearly put thought into providing a finished looking piece. Did you start doing this to make for standard print sizing or have you always approached your work this way?

Actually my account used to be exclusively for photography - then someone introduced me to photoshop. I always wanted to have a way to frame my photos - for the polished complete effect. Now I frame everything with the exception of wallpaper (annoying and distracting on the desktop I find).

I do put a lot of thought into the framing - mainly because I know it can easily make a dev look incredible or crappy - depending on thickness, matting etc etc.

There was a dd feature on a framing tutorial - it is now something that I follow with each work.

There are so many custom patterns and fonts on dA - I like to make use of them

I like the stringy tentacle like pieces,
and the outline of the cocoon is really cool.

It's one of my favorite fractals but it was getting ignored - I figured it just needed a little something special - hence the flutterby xoxo
