33in x 52in @ 300ppi; Mandelbulb, Blender 3D, Adobe Photoshop CS5. Here, I'm thinking (yes, again) of the Cthulhu stories. As I worked on this piece, it started taking on a fleshy quality... to my mind, anyway. I also started seeing great tentacles - *almost* like an incarnation of azathoth. I didn't want too many tentacles, however. I wanted the texture of the main body to stand out. Hope you like it!

33in x 52in @ 300ppi; Mandelbulb, Blender 3D, Adobe Photoshop CS5. Still having fun with fractals. This time, I went a bit sci-fi. I got an idea for mixing in a kind of retro style rocket into the scene and the fractal became a type of colony. I saw it as a large complex of buildings. Imagine centuries of human development and expansion. Buildings have grown into a seemingly endless structure. Maybe this is a colony on a distant asteroid. Maybe it's an ancient space station, grown to gargantuan proportions.

33in x 52in @ 300ppi; Mandelbulb, Daz Studio, Adobe Photoshop CS5.
She stepped into a vast chamber dimly lit by hundreds of chthonian lights, the sickly yellow glow making her uneasy.
Every surface as green as emeralds.
Shadowed balconies coiled up to an arched ceiling, far higher than any she had ever seen before.
Distant, ominous voices echoed down long corridors, chanting unfamiliar words, giving her goosebumps and making her hairs rise.
Feeling very small and frightened, she asked in a trembling voice, "what is this place?"
Replied the guard, "this is the Temple of Oz."
Over 100 rendered scenes and a lot of post processing in Photoshop. I found a wonderful program called Mandelbulb, which provided the basis of the scene. When I was moving around the fractal, I found this point of view that made me think of vaulted ceilings in ornate cathedrals. The colors were dark blues an sallow greens. I was torn between seeing this as an demonic version of Oz and an eldritch castle inhabited by H. P. Lovecraft's Old Ones. I chose to go with the Oz interpretation, after a bit of color modifications and effects.
Which way would you have gone?

60in x 38in @ 300ppi; Adobe Photoshop CS5. I liked the concept so much, that I wanted to redo it, but in a different layout. Overall, the style is the same. Same colors - but different blending to produce a wider range of colors in the final piece.
