This is one of the new fractals that I have been working on lately, part of a spiral inspired series. It’s temporarily titled “Star“. Can you guess why? I know, not a really original title for now! Anyway, the structure (shapes, forms…) is done as well as the basic colors. The shading (that’s the depth and 3-Dimensional look) is mostly done in Photoshop (as you can see in the right side of the above image). I could have done it in Ultra Fractal but because of the way I built the image (layers and layers of different colors and shapes using different merge modes) when I tried to add a shadow layer it completely ruined my colors! In that case, better use Photoshop instead. The next step is to add texture. I’m still thinking about what to use but I definitely want to experiment with things. Probably will use some new OCAs and techniques.
