Amy's world

see 'Amy's world' at deviantART

As a break from my impromptu series of 'Fractalising the work of famous dead artists', I turn my attention to the living, and what better beginning than a much-loved deviant who's artistic career looks poised to blossom, the Queen of Colour herself, Amy Hooton.

So, this was actually a kind of challenge from Amy, to create a fractal using her colours. The gradient used was created from Alien Efflorescence, and will shortly be available in a pack. Two other elements of Amy's style that I've managed to incorporate are repeating motifs (a natural for fractals, and here represented by the characteristic zipper-teeth waves of oscilloscope and the undulating painterly lattice of popcorn2) and the blurring of colour boundaries (achieved using a great dollop of pre-blur).
