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 latest gossip among the fractal artists:
Some of our artists have invented a REAL awesome interactive fractal program. You can also download and print it. Go and check these awesome works:

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 #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?

Uh, nevermind. You should rather look at these pretties! *points frantically down*

Autumn in FractalsAutumn in fractals.

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 !!!

2011 BMFAC News UpdateBMFAC winners published in print magazine!
The 25 winners of the Benoit Mandelbrot Fractal Art Contest were contacted in mid February to supply large format files of their winning images and also a short bio explaining their interest in fractal art, software used and general information about their work if they chose to do so. We were also informed that the first exhibit would be held in Logroño, in Northern Spain. Javier Barrallo, a Professor of Mathematics at The University of the Basque Country, Spain and also one of the panelists for the BMFAC was our contact for this. The current exhibit will be in the Casa de la Ciencia (House of Science), in Logroño, the Capital city of RIOJA until June 10th. I'll post a few pictures Javier sent further down. Javier also says he will send more pictures soon.
Also when I was contacted in February, Javier informed me that he had written an article about the BMFAC for a Spanish scientific magazine with all the winning images i

Fractal Features - January FIRST, SOMETHING TO TALK ABOUT...

how many fractal artists are there here at DA and how many worldwide?

is someone using (or have interest in) fractals in professional life (except making tools for us) or some art-unrelated form?

how does awareness of art being fractal change (raise) perception and appreciation?
SPECIAL SELECTION: beautiful 3d fractal scenes

by ~carlx is really fascinating with its clean design and peaceful setting, in an impeccable composition.

by ~Len1 reminds me of an illustration for a dark fantasy novel, with great attention given to both design and atmosphere.

by ~Forgot-my-pen is a beautiful and really creative manipulation with a nice touch of surrealism.

by *LeonieZurakowsky shows great depth, intense colors and a very dynamic composition.

by ~Ectoplaz shows us the wonders and the great express

Project Educate - Fractal Week - Gnarls!

Hi all!
This is *Golubaja, founder of :icongnarlissimo:, giving her contribute to the Fractal Week... gnarls!

I'm quite sure gnarl is my favourite fractal style, I love making gnarls both in Apophysis and in UltraFractal. But first of all...

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?

Fantastic Fractalicious Fractals issue 14

by =CoffeeToffeeSquirrel, Jan 6, 2012, 9:15:34 AM
Journals / Personal

The 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 [link] and `f--l--A--r--k has his Apo challenge [link] and it would be great if we could keep up supporting them! We were catched by `lindelokse's 3D blooms, and after her tutorial we could see magical blooms popping up in the fractal gallery. We had a succesful project week, a collaborative contest: Back to Fractal Class: [link] and DA fractal artists made it great in Benoit Mandelbrot Fractal Artist Contest. [link] and here's *Fiery-Fire's journal where you can find out whom is whom of the DA winners: [link]. *fractek and *BlurWing started to sell fractal pendants
