Experiments w. Layer techniqesby ~denise-g

Digital Art / Fractal Art

This week we have a look at different layer techniques and I wished,
I could raise once the discipline and would work through a lesson from
beginning till the end without digressing right in the middle and going own ways.
In this case I like the result, but often enough I must start at the beginning again.
It's not rendered, you can see that in the parts where the gradient is not so smooth.
It's just an experiment.

Created with Ultra Fractal.
All comments are much appreciated and welcome.

FULL VIEW IS MUCH BETTER!

You know...I don't use a lot of different merge modes. Mainly just overlay...once in a while multiply or screen. I really have an aversion to Difference and Subtract...a few of those and you don't have a clue WHAT your gradient is doing, lol...

Good job on this pic. How's class?

Thank you so much.
Actually I like the different and subtraction mode, there are some cool effects with them,
but you're right, more then one or two layers of those and you'll have a big mess.

I'm in trouble with my homework in lesson 5. My old problem - I get lost hopelessly in these
infinite possibilities of orbit traps. I have tried it several times, but I am too tired to be
concentrated and creatively. I hope during the Easter days I can catch up some of the homework.

Well...here's my thing. It will probably take me a year or two to really incorporate the things she covers in class into my style, so I don't sweat it a lot. I will just go over the material for a while...it'll sink in.

I think, your style is not so far apart at all from Janets style.
She likes the art of Dan Kuzmenka and you also and I can discover
influence of it in your images and in Janets images. I've not found
my style till now, I've still to try so many things.
>>so I don't sweat it a lot...<< no need for it...this is my part...lol
I allways forget to have fun also with homework, that's why it's so
arduous...lol
