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.

I like this free-wheeling conceptual piece.

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. :dance:

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?
