Amaglam

"Amaglam" has been described as pastel and silver sound waves, which paints a beautiful picture for this print. I believe this helps to create the perfect meaning and serves a very good purpose for this piece. I was really happy with the outcome of this piece it has an enchantment aspect to its appearance.

Next fractal will be, "Ecliptic Oracle"

Alpenglow

Named for its sheen and composition, "Alpenglow," stimulates the thoughts and minds and is one of my personal favorites of mine. The piece started out very different then what it ended up appearing to look like. The center of the print has been compared to a heart, the center of life that keeps this piece alive. While I was creating the fractal my intentions where to create somthing of an abstract yet, create a very likeness to a sunset or sunrise. The name "Alpenglow," comes from its likeness to sunrays and literally means "A rosy glow that suffuses snow-covered mountain peaks at dawn or dusk on a clear day."Now what I thought was interesting about the title of the fractal was its history. [Partial translation of German Alpenglühen : Alpen Alps + glühen, to glow.] Thanks to dicitonary.com for the translation! This one word I think helps to paint a glimps of what I was trying to portray. I hope you enjoy it!

Next fractal is "Amaglam"

Panoply of Light and Sound

I went back and looked at some of my older fractals that may not be so good and wanted to redo them. I looked at "Iota of Water" to create this print. I changed colors, added more colors and zoomed in a little. I added more layers to create the cloudy apperance around the double spiral, creating a very successful backdrop. "Panoply" meaning array combinds with "...Light and Sound," to give this print its namesake.

Next fractal is, "Alpenglow"

Animus

"Animus" even though looking maybe weak in appearnce took strength to create. I spent a lot of time creating this piece, testing differnt layers and colors out not liking anything that I was seeing. I will admit that I am not full happy with the way it turned out just got frustraited with it and decided to move on. It does however hold a few firsts for my as an fractal artist. I have never fully captured and used the more cooler purples and pinks in my artwork. Using usually colors of fire and water and earthy colors. Instead this print I decided to try somthing differnt, probably why I found myself not being drawn to the piece. None the less its my artwork and I am very happy with the solitude of the figure in the center of the piece.

I will be releasing another print today which is entitled, "Panoply of Light and Sound."

Cadre of Longevity

While I was away not making fractals for those two weeks I got the urges many times to go to Ultra Fractal 3. I held off though wanting to come back fresh and ready to create great works of art. I am very pleased with the way "Cadre of Longevity" turned out. The feeling of perpetual motion in this piece is hightened by the coloration of the piece. The dark "X" through the print I added because I wanted some contrast between the bright orange rings and the bright blues of the water effects. The "X" layer in the piece is the very last layer added to the print. Its actually the same layer as the "Shields" from my print "Intercosmic Aegis." The "Shields" helped with the coloration of the inside of my cell structures that inhabit the middle of this print. The soft blues counteract with the orange rings to really give this piece its energy.

Today's print "Animus" will be looked at next.

Insipid Spore

I really enjoyed the background affect I got from the previous print so I wanted to use it again. Infact I would use it again in "Insipid Spore," named for its cellular appearnce. I wanted to name this piece somthing like, "Protozoa..." or "Amoeba..." but just couldn't find the right words to express what I wanted. I came across, "Insipid," even though it means lacking in zest I believe it works well with this piece. I decided to use "spore" to describe this piece which I think brings across the ambience I was aiming for.

Finally after a two week break I bring a sneak of tomorrow's print,"Cadre of Longevity"

Virulent Soul

"Virulent Soul," infects us with strong emotions of saddness and deep depression."Virulent" meaning extremely infectious or poisonious, brings across its dark meaning. The background was created actually with a backdrop of Quickilsilver flattened into a plain and then cascaded three times in differnt locations. Multiple color layers where then added on top of that to create its effect. The "Soul" or being in this picture is yet another look into a print I called "Troglodyte," except this lonely figure is has a little bit differnt shading and coloring. I believe the most striking aspect of this piece is the thin bands of orange coloration in the "Troglodyte." Enjoyed making this piece hope you can enjoy it as well.

Heres what I will talk about next, a print I called "Insipid Spore"
