Re: Blackbinary's Fractal Art Pack

Well, I'm not going to try and critique anything...
but I will say that I like 6 the best...

I think abstract stuff should feed the imagination and I think you have achieved that in some of the above

It's hard to find something if you don't know what you're looking for.
I have a blog, it's mostly about conky and lua stuff... go here.

Truthfully, to convince myself that I didn't waste my time uploading all of those.

I agree. My favourite type of art has always been abstract. When i design a piece of art however, I don't think 'hmm, will this use my imagination?'
Because, obviously, thats impractical. I always go with what "looks good" so to speak. What that means in a lot of the cases you see above, is that i went with the product
which was the most interesting to look at, without being too complex or crowded, had a pleasing variation of tone, seemed minimal, and appealed to me in any other ways.

For example, i am currently using #4 as my desktop. I think i like this particular piece because it is mostly black, shifted off to the side, both make it feel like its fairly minimal, or not trying to be too distracting to my eyes when im busy working on something. At the same time, it has really great colour. The ends all blend off into black, with little silver highlights which make it seem like parts have been shadowed. The loop on the left is a nice bit of complexitiy, all those little lines are very facinating, and it still has a very vibrant feature in the strong white-saturated lines and curves right in the middle. So it fulfills my goals. I've got a nice piece of desktop art to look at that compliments a minimal black theme well, is pleasing to look at when i login, and yet isn't distracting while i work.


EDIT:

Also, mrpeachy, WHY did you have to mention the faces? Now guess all i can see? a bunch of smileys. Ugh. Hmm, wonder if it says something about me, that all i can see are the happy faces, none sad. Hmmmmm.... I'll go ponder that.

No a couple of clicks with the flame render options in Gimp takes care of any imaginative processes. I should know, I'm a  past master of this one tongue http://omns.deviantart.com/gallery/#Flame-Collection

Seriously though, it takes a lot of fiddling to get it just right and pleasing to the eye smile Nice work big_smile

Thanks oms! I actually use Apophysis which i believe is only for windows (which im stuck on at the moment...), and there is a lot of fiddling, your right, but I like how they all turned out, so it's all good.
