hello! You have an awesome ability of making beautiful and mysterious art. Use it wisely. Use it for Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. You should make images of the crucifiction the crosss, and other scenes from the Bible. God Bless You.
I agree with what Correnna says. I would also love to see images from the Bible and some images of the Cross of Christ. My site, http://www.angelfire.com/vt/stevozip/ could use some Christian pictures. Anyway, your art is amazing. Gotta love the pictures of nature. God bless you.
Stunning image. But.... The fractal part of it I don't see much. Is it the background?? Or is the donut also one?? Maybe my definition of a fractal is all messed up... Plz explain. Thenks. Kewl anyway.
Benoit Mandelbrot (who coined the term fractal) said that it describes something which exhibits self-similarity and/or has a fractal dimension greater than it's normal everyday dimension.
Usual fractals are determined by recursive functions on the complex plane. Complex numbers are of the form a + bi where a and b are real numbers and i is such that i*i = -1. You simply plug a number inside a function and then feed the result to that same function and so on for 100 or more iterations, and assign a color depending on the final result. Since complex numbers have two degrees of liberty, a and b, they can be mapped on a screen with (a,b) => (x,y). The different colors and different positions make up the visual representation of a fractal.
There are also so-called hypercomplex numbers, such as quaternions and octonions. A quat is a number x = a + bi + cj + dk where i*i = j*j = k*k = -1, ij = -ji = k, ik = -ki = -j, jk = -kj = i. By using recursive funtions again, you can assign color values to certain pixels in 4d space. By setting a certain dimension to 0, you can create triplets of x,y,z values that can be used to create 3d fractals. You can go to hypercomplex.org for quaternion art and a package designed to create 3d fractals.
If you want to read up on fractals and non-linear dynamics which is associated with it I recommend Chaos by James Gleick, which you can find at amazon.com.
My opinion is poor colors used....good idea on shape but not too sharp. Clean...sharp...crisp is what i like in a piece of art. It gives something for the eye to focus on making it pleasing to look at.
The complexness of the fractals behind the object seem to make it large. also the glare or whatever that is shining back at you gives you that feeling. I think its the light rays that sometimes shine back into your camera lense.
