fractals + painting + camera + scanner + way too much time
Finally finished. I had an idea and started working on this last year. I love abstract/conceptual work with 3D renders so I thought, why not do it with a fractal render? I made the main fractal (flowers) but my mom saw it and wanted it on her wedding invitations. I was really hesitant because this piece is how I saw them in my head. I agreed to use the render for her invitations, and was going to just abandon this piece forever but the idea wouldn't allow itself be killed so easily. I had a very specific image in my mind and had to learn all of the skills I needed to be able to see it on screen. I thought my mom might be pissed at me for vandalizing her invitation design, but luckily she likes it and I'll live to paint another day.
Critique always welcome. Please respect my rights as an artist. Personal use is OK as long as the image is not altered in any way and you provide a link to my deviantArt userpage. You may NOT use this image for any commercial purpose without my consent.
Tell me what you think of it. (: I uploaded the BG to scraps on its own if anyone is interested in seeing it: [link]
It appears that you've somehow created a magnet for every airborne item within a certain radius. Flowers, owls, a hot air balloon, jets, bubbles, even a rainbow, are massing together to from a huge surreal kite.
Cool collage work.

Very cool indea, and I love all the details - the owl at the top made me smile!
The rocks at the bottom, I don't like. Everything else fits very well with the style. A little bit of sea and the painterly distant mountains would be just fine, just not the full photographic style of the rocks . . . .
thank you, I was sort of thinking about different styles of art. the bg is just a landscape painting, not too expressive. from there I just deconstructed it from the stylized fractal flowers into abstract nonsense with some pop art/surreal stuff thrown in for fun. imagination breaking out.
yeah! thanks, I saw those crazy hot air balloon stocks and had to use them. they made me smile too.
those rocks bothered me a bit too, i did quite a bit of painting on them with blenders and other brushes in painter, then also added fine strokes in photoshop to try to loosen them up. I thought they were needed to ground the composition and I didn't want to make them look too painterly. I was kind of worried that I went too far with the brushing, maybe I should have added more though?
Don't think this is just another news article with the usual love deviations that have already hundreds of favorites! All of these deviations don't have even 100 favorites & they're the best!
Please watch them closely and show your appreciation! @
In this article I will provide you some ideas how you can build your own homestudio for considerably cheaper price than it would cost to use "official" studio gear. I will also show you few examples where I have used the gear I describe during this article.
`karemelancholia is one of the most genuine deviants you could ever met. Always active and a true deviantART cheerleader and supporter in every aspect. You can always count on her to lend a hand or get involved, and you usually will find her doing large amounts of both at any given moment. She's consistently reports on contests around dA, showcases the efforts of her fellow artists and shows her charitable side through various activities. Besides all of this, she's a truly talented artist which is why she's an obvious choice for deviousness this month. Read More
