The result of playing around with an Apophysis render, adding layers, recoloring, rotating, etc. Loosely inspired by this, using the same base fractal as this.
Prints of this and other works are available at RedBubble and Zazzle.
Lovely fractal, bright and colourful! I recognized it... I remember your wallpaper 'Storms of Life'.
The jewel is a spot too dark on my monitor, and needs more 'tones' and gloss, but the 'embedded' effect is unusual, as though the background is a bed of soft yarn cushioning the orb.
For in and out, above, about, below,
'Tis nothing but a Magic Shadow-show,
Play'd in a Box whose Candle is the Sun,
Round which we Phantom Figures come and go.
From Edward Fitzgerald's Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam
