Description More Mandelbulb microfauna.



Edit: uploaded a new version with slightly different lighting, more background blur and a tighter composition.

Edit again: well, that was a pleasant surprise! A huge thank you to tatasz  and C-91  for sending another DD my way and an equally huge thank you to all the good people who stopped by to fave and comment. Can't wait for a chance to repay you all the favour, so keep up with all your good work! Best, Andrea

Thank you! A lot of fractal art (mine included) overwhelms the viewer with a saturation of detail; it was fun to make something more streamlined and minimalistic for a change...

One of my favorite fractal work I have seen so far! Haha, it looks so cute, the image looked like a photograph at first glance, but then that little thing can;t be a real life creature!

I often dislike Fractal art cause they are just randomly generated and rendered noise.. But this is different ! I like it a lot !

Thank you, I'm glad I've made you change your mind if only this once seriously though, there are many talented fractal artists here on dA and elsewhere who are definitely worthy of your time and attention.

Problem with a lot of fractal software is that they have very steep learning curves, and at first it can be a challenge to create much more than noise and randomness. It's all about perseverance and learning from the masters - myself, I had a very hard time getting the hang of Mandelbulb 3D till I came across HalTenny 's tutorials and resources... and he is definitely one you should watch, among many others.

I think i have stumbled on his gallery once or twice before. Totally superb fractal art there. As well as in your gallery.
I like it when the fractals do more than vaguely resemble something. I guess that's where the skill comes into play.

Thank you for sharing this piece, it really is one of the best fractal works i have seen in Deviantart so far.

NilNilNil In reply to Jscenery [2015-06-10 19:36:18 +0000 UTC]

Well thank you again!

I'm with you in that I also like to see (and make) fractals that resemble something - be it a landscape, surreal architecture or strange lifeforms. Mostly, it takes imagination and a LOT of patience to pull them off properly. In a way, I've found a happy spot with fractal art: while I have some ideas and a half-decent hand at drawing, I've had zero arts training and if I sit down with pencil and paper most of my ideas come up short due to my lack of technical savvy. Using fractal software allows me to overcome this limit, as all I have to do is come across an idea or association and zero in on i it by sheer perseverance. The added bonus is that by their own nature fractals convey exactly the kind of weird, outlandish feeling I'd aim for if I were a traditional artist.

Purely abstract fractals are a different beast - they can look a bit same-y unless the artist has a very strong vision and eye for composition. I've seen some amazing works around but it isn't really my cup of tea.

Well, who'd have thought it'd be appropriate to say a fractal is cute?   This one certainly is!  Nice looking picture, and nice color of the lighting, too.

NilNilNil In reply to undefinedone [2015-06-10 18:47:25 +0000 UTC]

Thank you... you're right, there isn't really a lot straight-up cuteness in fractal land, but if you look hard enough you've got to find some sooner or later I had a lot of fun making this, it's quite different from the darker stuff I'm usually into.
