The Sand Worm was created in Mandelbulb and PhotoShop.

The thought of sandworms came to me via Frank Herbert's novel, "Dune." For my piece, I added the space between Sand and Worm.

Well slap me silly, and call me crazy...but I don't see a worm or sand. No worm I have ever seen looks this purdy or fancy. I never heard of "Dune", but I have heard of Lorna Doone Shortbread Cookies. LOL.

I never read the novel Shads but I heard much about it. I think they made a movie as well. Seems to me that Sting was in the movie so I would watch out for the stinger on the sand worm.
Beautiful work per usual.

I read the first series of Dune novels, gave up after that. A great rendering of the sand worm. Love the 3D look of your beautiful creation John. Gorgeous colours and details, I like the lighting. A wonderful job and thanks for sharing.

This is really great work, John. The 'worm' is very creative idea and very well formed. But most importantly this work has a really great background. The colors of the subject and background match perfectly. Well done, my friend.

Very wild creation. I like the movement and lighting. Colors and energy seem appropriate for the Spice and terrain of Arrakis.

The movie Dune was an expensive and misbegotten vanity project for a lot of Hollywood talking heads. It's an interesting failure that never should have been given to the crew that made it. The predictably grimy director David Lynch throws mud on Frank Herbert's masterpiece and Magnum Opus, the novel Dune. That being said, your fractal is gorgeous in it's organic complexity. It parallels some of the recent 3D models of viruses with their baroque surfaces and weird attachment mechanisms. Fascinating stuff.

And let me be the next person to say this is gorgeous... and yes evocative of Herbert's Dune. It's really fascinating to look at... You done it again, John!

I am not familiar with 'Dune'.
I am enjoying this for its warm and lovely colours and the object does not look at all worm-like to me.:)
Nice work :)

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . .

Oh my god, what a fairy image, I really love the colors you used, it make me think a lot of thing. First a detail of a splendid tapestry of Aubusson (one of the most important luxurious tapestry producers of the world). Nothing to see with your Dune's idea, but this creation is for me, extraordinary.

A marvelous work of Arrakeen art, John! Evocative, with beautiful desert colors and a faint scent of melange. A stunning creation that would not be out of place in the royal palace. I'd swear you have a bit of Fremen blood running through your veins, John. Outstanding work!
