Fractal 194

Another one, In the same neighborhood.

Fractal 193

Same image with monochrome palette.

Fractal 192

This fractal uses iteration count coloring. If you look closely in the big blue areas you can see some color banding.

I was testing software and not in “artist mode”. I prefer smooth coloring techniques for fractals, but did not want the where the extra smooth color code getting in the way.

As often happens, I am easily distracted and forgot I was in test mode and wandered off exploring fractal space.

Shattered

I really have no idea what to say about this one. Perhaps it should be titled “Artist Goes Off the Rails”

Spray Splatter Squares 2

Here I added some chaos to the splatter. The splatter is not uniformly random. There are blank spots and clumping and brushing. Interest is generated by screaming “fix me”.

Spray Splatter Squares

As before, an experiment that produced a nice piece of abstract art. The idea and technique call for more study and development. Just not this week.

Displaced Lines / Faded Bluejeans

A variation of the previous experiment. It is interesting enough to stand on its own. I think it might work better as a background for something else. Again, that is something that I might look into as some unspecified future date.

Displaced Lines

This one was a test pattern for a distraction that I was letting distract me. Despite the origin I think it makes a nice piece of abstract art.

Fractal Color Experiment

This one is getting close to a “Complexity Limit”. The fun decorations around the fractal work well here. But the fractal detail is starting to get lost. When I try this technique with a deeper, more complex fractal, the fractal details become random pixel dust. There are ways to fix that, ways to smooth out the transition from the background to the foreground. I will explore that rabbit hole later.

Fractal Color Experiment

Trying out ways to color the dead space “behind” an escape time fractal. I will probably pursue this further in the future. I was in the middle of something else. So for now, it is a placeholder for a future work.
