Description
~*Inner Chaos*~
I am trying to experiment with gold coloring lately. I am not totally satisfied with this one, but I couldn't junk it either.

Comments, questions, and critiques are both welcomed and appreciated. Enjoy!

~*Musical Chaos*~
Rain is what this thunder brings
For the first time I can hear my heart sing
Call me a fool but I know I'm not
I'm gonna stand out here on the mountain top
Till I feel your . . . Rain . . . -
Rain, Madonna

The copper colors came out kind of well . . . weird . . . but what the heck. I guess it worked out ok.

snow-valkyrie In reply to bluenova25 [2011-02-15 21:28:46 +0000 UTC]

Because I say things like "tickled pink" and quote things from Lord of the Rings or Star Wars. I am learning the language of the elves on LOTR, I want to be a Valkin and I consistently sing "So Long and Thanks For All the Fish". If that is not a nerd, then I don't know what is.

What a coincidence. I'm experimenting with gold too.
You should make the reddish limits a little less saturated, and it would be even better, in my opinion! Good luck trying!

I'ld say it's a good start but it's lacking detail & texture in a large percent of the image. Even a textured background layer that covers a large amount of the image would have helped. I'm a detail & texture freak myself & don't get enough of either in my work too. Mainly because I'm not apt at masking well yet that's an area I need to progress at. There's a section in the UF help that explains using images in UF, I need to check that out as well. Then loading a texture image & using masking in upper layers would reveal that texture in the fractal. Another good idea that just crossed my mind is creating a focal point in the fractal. I've known about that for years but never thought to apply it to fractal work until just now writing to you. Some thoughts you might want to consider. I'ld say the larger sphere here in your image is like the focal point. Signature's a bit too large though.
