Another beautiful piece, Brent. That graduated haze lends itself well to creating the feel of mammoth size, as though this were a machine the size of the county I live in. I could see this as an illustration in Arthur C. Clarke's "Rendezvous With Rama." Love it.
If you've ever wanted to make a difference but found it hard to believe that one person could... check out the Kiva Team Caedes discussion thread and discover that anything is possible.
Wow, this is just stunning! Fantastic levels and design and the colors are perfect! I really love the fade out look at the top as well. Excellent work!!
I don't understand fractals whether Mandelbrot or Mandelbulb, but this seems to me a gorgeous golden image... the haze at the top creates a glow as if an alien sun was about to set. mary
