the works featured and congratulate the artists!
Something a bit different today. I thought it might be nice to see the works of a much admired and oft times sourced artist whose works some of you may recognise.
Gary posts his works in Mandelbulb Maniacs, a very successfull Facebook group, run by
The piece below is entitled "Congratulations, You're Having Twins!" and was made for one of the groups regular challenges.
In case you are worried about copyright, I did ask Gary's permission some weeks ago.He says he can't access Deviant Art due to not having parental permission!
Scenes from A Waking Dream is a series of earlier works by Gary created back in 2014
One of my own personal favourites (probably the first of Gary's I saw). Gary calls it "Noodle Soup" - An imaginative blend of fractal and Photoshopped elements.
One more for the road....Scary but compelling stuff don't you think?

Manipulation Challenge 5
Hello all
We had some lovely manips for challenge 4 and here are one from each of you
A mix up by !Gerda1946 (https://www.deviantart.com/gerda1946)
Impression of Wout by :iconLieque:
UF Reflection by :iconAlena1950:
Bird Flight by :iconzisgul:
Klein Reflections by :iconGrannyOgg:
For Manipulation Challenge 5 we are going to try making tributes to the works of Eva Kmento - :iconXantipa2: who as you all know passed away a couple of months ago. Here are just a few from her wonderful gallery.
You can take your inspiration from any of her works. Use your own pieces as a base or look for free stock images (their are loads on D.A.)
Rules:-
Rule No.1 - A fractal p
Manipulation Challenge 3
For our 3rd Manipulation Challenge I thought you might like to work with the tutorials of a master manipulator ~rockgem (https://www.deviantart.com/rockgem) Gem has produced several tutorials on this subject and you can use any or all of them.
I picked this one because it has a minimum of shapes and eyes can of course be made as intricately as you like in UF. MB3D Photoshop, PSP etc. But, as stated above you can use any of her tutorials though the fractal content must be your own. The background can be a fractal scene or a free graphic but please give credit to the creator in your details if it isn't your own. You may also, of course, use
Christmas Challenge 2017
The results of the Christmas Challenge are in .
Joint best of show went to !Lieque (https://www.deviantart.com/lieque) and :iconGLO-HE: . Congratulations girls.
Runners Up were :iconShadoweddancer:, :iconVelvet--Glove: and :iconChetje:
We had quite a few entries so thank you all for contributing to our Christmas Challenge. There are too many to show you all the other entries. So one from each of you, your best entries in my humble opinion.
The judges were :iconGrannyOgg: and :iconGerda1946:
If I have left anyone off then please feel free to comment under the journal. I can add you in
It only remains for us to wish you all a wherever you are in the world
Decisions, Decisions
Rather than upload many versions of a fractal I thought I'd compose a journal.
These are the varieties of tweaks I made from the one set of pong parameters:-
The two above used new gradients made in MB3D and saved for future use.
Colour mapped and colour maps overlaying each other.
Mapped on output vector with low Rotation Bailout.
Formula added in first slot
Formula added in first slot, mapped on output vector with low Rotation Bailout and simple gradiated colour map made in Ultra Fractal.
Final Image chosen for pong chain. Parameters included.
Tips n Tricks: Using outside and inside colouring is rarely needed and slows the render

Thanks to everyone for their kind comments, and especially thanks to GrannyOgg for featuring me. It is true I am not as young as I might appear (hehehe), actually being 51, but my ISP requires either a driving licence or a passport as proof of age, and I own neither. Unfortunately, they treat dA as an adult site so I have to resort to alternative methods to sneak in occasionally. I have had an account on here for a few years, as DedXP, although there isn't much on there. I don't visit often as the ID issue coupled with painfully slow connection speed (mobile phone tethered to PC) doesn't make for a very pleasant experience. Once again, thanks to all for the comments, and please come and see us at Mandelbulb Maniacs! (y)
