Description I tried to make this look like 2 eyes, where one is open and the other one is closed. The closed eye was the difficult part, so that will most likely be edited.
Full view please

The eye somewhat resembles the seal of the Crimson King from "The Dark Tower" series by Stephen King [link]

Created with Apophysis 7 and photoshop.

this is so cool looking. What kind of program/tools do u use to make something like this?

Thank you, I'm using Apophysis, a fractal flame generator. Don't know how I'm suppose to give a better explanation

This picture reminded me of the "Romantically Apocalyptic" series - have you seen them?
It's like the reflection in the glass of a gas mask. Beautiful!

Haven't heard of "Romantically Apocalyptic"
Though I'm not all to pleased with it, I need to edit some to make it look better.
Thanks for the compliment

[link] <- have a look, this one got me hooked. Weird you haven't come across it? It tends to get featured o_O
What is there to edit? I really really think it looks awesome. And you are very welcome

That did look a lot like it, weird indeed that I haven't seen it before. It did look great
I've tried to make it look like 2 eyes, one which is open (not so hard to see at all ) and one that is closed. The closed one is the thing I feel I may edit as it doesn't look like a closed eye to me.
I had an other image in my mind on how it would look like, might be there my "problem" is

Yup, I keep comparing your art to other things I've seen before. >_<
I can se how you make it look like 2 eyes for sure, but why would you want to edit it? I think it's good. Oh, but I do recon that the eye that doesn't seem closed, really, gives that feel because it's a brighter purple than what surrounds it?
Anywho, I still like it. Because it resembles, to me, the light in the one eye being stronger than the other...
This is where I stop rambling. >_<

I didn't think it was a bad thing, I meant that it's good so I can see what kind of things my work resembles. I didn't meant to sound like I was upset with it, the complete opposite actually

Hmm, maybe I shouldn't edit it if you think it's very not necessary. I just get annoyed that it didn't turn out the way I wanted

I tend to make rather lengthy posts myself, so don't worry about that

ZirconLupa In reply to Volneth [2010-02-22 07:34:43 +0000 UTC]

Alright then, I keep in mind that you don't get upset when I compare your art to stuff I know. (The thing is, I figured you might think that I thought your work lacked originality, which clearly it doesn't!)

Well, if you recon it will make it better to edit it, then sure - but don't delete this version It'll be nice to have something to compare with? Remember what the journal said, it's the artist that should be happy, not the public

Volneth In reply to ZirconLupa [2010-02-22 10:03:08 +0000 UTC]

Never thought it lacked originality when you compared, I understand that you might have thought that, but it never have

I'll definitively keep this version, I have several things from the same fractal when I edited them. Small differences, but those are very important

Exactly, if I wanted to be here to go with what the public wants, I would most certainly do some manga or anime. Not that I can draw or really cares for it, but those seems to be the most popular.

Alright. Well, you might have noticed that I'm somewhat nervous as far as commenting your work goes, and aren't as confident as I usually am. It's because I've never SEEN this kind of thing before, it makes it somewhat weird, because I'm not entierly sure as of what I should say, if I'm commenting on the wrong thing and such...

Ommagosh, do you read manga or watch anime though? I have never been able to get into that actually >_< Some of the work I've seen here has been amazing, I have a couple of friends doing that kind of deal - but I can't wrap my head around it :S

There is quite a lot of fractal artist, but I think it's hard to find if you don't know what to search for. I myself just stumbled upon it many years ago, but it isn't until recently that I knew that it was called fractal art.

No I don't I don't get what the hype with all of it is. I mean, yes it's good drawn but I think it looks like it's supposed to be just cute and that just annoys me.

I checked out one of the groups you were in earlier today, well, just briefly - but I saw some of the possibilities and were awestruck. It's an amazing way of expressing oneself, even if it often seems like it happens 'by accident'

I agree with your view on manga/anime. *nods* I'll keep to my Donald Duck and Pondus, me thinks.

Some people are incredibly talented, it's stunning really!
That's true a lot of fractals really just looks random, which gives them even more different ways of interpreting it

Ooh, this is very interesting looking.


Although, I can't see the eyes in it, the colors and design is beautiful.

Thank you very much , yeah I realize it is hard to see or at least the second one, the one which is supposed to be closed. I will edit it, don't know when, so it is more clear and not so confusing as it is now. But the eye as I am referring to in this is the one to the right

You're welcome, thought it would be better to make it as clear as possible.
