Fantastic Fractalicious Fractals issue 14The first issue of this year! This time I want to present some of the coolest fractals from 2011, it was really difficult to pick out some faves of the year, you are too good!!! But first, a short resume of last year's happenings.
What happened last year?
Pretty lot! There have been fractal circles with tweaking fractals around, both in the group :#fractalcircles: and ponging parameters in :#aposhack: , Light `SuicideBySafetyPin introduced us for the Inspiration station, the fractal flash mob, a collective feature of different artists. *heavenriver has her UF challenge going on http://heavenriver.deviantart.com/journal/Ultra-Fractal-monthly-Challenges-Redux-Vol-12-277027446 and `f--l--A--r--k has his Apo challenge http://fav.me/d4l1fc6 and it would be great if we could keep up supporting them! We were catched by :devlindel

Fantastic Fractalicious Fractals #12Here's this weeks' findings from the fractal gallery, and I'm happy to see some new names here! The recruiting for the world domina... oops, did I say that aloud?

Fantastic Fractalicious Fractals # 15Did you miss the series? I have missed it too, but I thought it would be a good idea to have a break from it until I found some inspiration again. You guys never stop to amaze me, I get new and fresh works, journals and tutorials in my inbox every day, and now I thought I should share it with you. First some news from DA's fractal corner.
=raysheaf is planning a tutorial on how to make realistic shapes using concentric circles in UF. Be sure to add him to your watch list if you want this tutorial in your inbox! http://fav.me/d4t8eug
Light has challenged Chiara with this one:

and I think it's a great idea! It's not like the usual parameter pongs, but a co-operation between two artists with different styles, where the result shows off each artist's style. Just imagine =Leichenengel's colourful psychedelic style with :devjimpan73: metallic spirals and shiny gems. Or *LeonieZurakowsky's colourful plastic mandelbulb shapes with ~kr0mat1k's quirky metallic bul

Fantastic Fractalicious Fractals #11-THE HUGE ONEThis week is :iconcheerplz: Fractal Week :iconcheerplz: held by #projecteducate and I'm happy to show you some of the lovely works from the fractal gallery from the latest two weeks.
No idling, just go and take a look!

FFF series issue 13You wonder what's with the weird title? Yep, I thought I should submit with sta.sh instead of my journal, and of course, it was the famous 30 character limit again. Nevermind, I've heard that it will change soon. I'm back again with the series. And from now on, the series will come out semimonthly instead of each week. It gives me more time to dig up new goodies and collect resources and news. And you'll not be tired of the squirrel and her instant chattering. At least I hope so

The fractal artists here never disappoint, it's a constant stream of lovely beauties into the fractal gallery. Let us dive into them, shall we?

~chaos-tika sent me a note about another new artist;:iconwhaddad: ~whaddad and indeed he is a find! His gallery is filled of lovely and colourful fractals.

:iconstefanesouny: ~StefaneSouny is a new artist from France and his gallery is really varied from simple abstract works to more complicated fractals.

Go and give them some love

And what's with all those skewed hearts in the fractal gallery recently?
Well, you can blame :iconvelvet--glove: and :iconannakirsten: Those two ladies have made a new group for U

Fantastic Fractalicious Fractals 14Here is the series again. Seems like the title issue is almost fixed. And gosh, there are a lot of goodies to show off! I wasn't sure if I should submit it via my ordinary journal, or sta.sh writer. But it could be good to have a clear difference between my ordinary silly journals and ehm.. more serious features. Nuff squabbling. Back to business!

The BEST of 2012 in FRACTAL ARTWelcome to the biggest journal (always) submitted only one a year for your personal pleasure, with amazing site finds considered in my humble opinion as the BEST of 2012 works from Fractal gallery !!!
The deviations are placed in no particular order (sometimes they do have a chronological significance, sometimes they don't) - all choices are mine & mine alone - grab a drink, grab a sandwich and prepare yourself for a visual feast - colors, patterns and textures !!!

Contest: Back to Fractal Class

Contest: Best of Both Worlds: Back to Fractal Class!
Fractals and Resources are two galleries that get crap about "not being art," so we thought it would be cool to team up for a contest to prove those people wrong!
In this contest, you will be provided with three tutorials from the Fractal Resources Gallery. (See rules below.) Use one or more of these tutorials for a chance to win! It's the Best of Both Worlds (resources and fractal art!) to offer an amazing Fractal class!

Fractal Projects and contests

=Leichenengel has an interesting and funny project going on!

Tasty Tweaks ProjectHello my fellow friends, watchers and also random visitors/readers

This Article goes out to all Ultra Fractal Users/Artists on dA, so it would be great, if you could +fav this article if the message appeals to you - also it would be awesome, if you could spread the word yourself

The past days I discovered my special interest in tweaking other people's Parameters to learn and to just create my own vision from what is already given. There are a lot of groups that offer Tweaking Circles/Round Robins like :iconfractalcircles: or :iconroundrobin-central: just to name two of them.
My project is some kind of a fusion between Circles/Round Robin's and Challenges.
I thought of the following:
Within a certain amount of time (let's say for example 1 month) there will be a Tasty Tweaks "Round". The whole thing will be running as follows.
1. I write a SignUp Journal that will always be named "Tasty Tweaks #Number" or something like that.

That means if you don't want to miss s[link]

Gossips from the fractal corners
Seems like the fractal artists lead a decent and boring life, no juicy news there. Probably I've to dig a bit to find some dirt

Some last words. Please note me if you have some fractal-related projects, or your group has a contest, etc, etc. And if you've some nice and fun gossip to share with us, note me too! Nothing is too big or too small!
