Storm #3

I love these messy chaotic images. I know they are not for everyone's taste. But I find them fascinating. I encourage you to look closely and discover the fine details.

I mentioned that I consider these constructive. That I apply selected formulas, and colors, to achieve a desired effect. I am getting better at doing that, but often the effect comes with side effects.

Here I started with everything expanding out radially from the lower left quadrant. Then I got the color dialed in. Mostly black and white, which makes the blue pop, with a little complementary rust on the left. Then I got the details on the left side, the streaking, the contrails, the 'eye of the storm'.

I was not happy with the right side. The water drops seemed too large and too calm compared to the left side. But when I tried to make changes to the left side, the delicate right side fell apart.

After many attempts, either I gave up, or after studying it long enough I discovered it was actually perfect as it, or the universe was telling me this is the way it must be. In truth, now I have no desire to change any of it.

My program is set up to apply effects (formulas) globally. I am working on modifications to apply effect to isolated areas. It is not there yet, and I am having plenty of fun as-is.

I have stopped describing the algorithms that generate these. I feel every one of these images deserves some words. But what is there to say? When I try to explain something, I end up just stating the obvious. So what follows is mostly just pictures without words.

If you have any questions about anything, just ask in the comments. I will explain as best I can.

The previous images in this series were mostly created a month ago. The final touches, the finishing was done a week ago. As was the selecting, sorting, ordering, to put them into a series.

Yesterday, as is often the case, I was preparing to move on, but instead revisited the storm theme.

This one emphasizes fine parallel lines and curves, giving the vague feeling of brush strokes. These were present, to a much lesser degrree, in some of the other pieces in this series.

So, a few more for this series. (And I can put off organizing the next for a few days.)
