Abstract woodcut

You knew it had to come: the 7-chained disc-julian!

Amazing what's in the grass

Always going a step further: 5-chained disc-julian :D

Somewhere in the corner

Triple-chained disc-julian, original idea from here.

Cloud computing (sunrise mix)

Must get used to flexing my Apo muscles again - a trophy, not atrophy ;) My entry for Apophysis Challenge #59, splits-juliascope base.

Reflections

A warm and enfolding image to celebrate the season and wish everyone the best possible holiday.

Stellar birth pangs

New stars beginning to coalesce in their gravitational crucibles within a galactic foundry.

Re-mapping the cosmos

A relative oldie, splits-ngon style.

Temple of the Sun

Glynnia paired with twoface, plus a little hyperbolic.

The leopard

More glynnia, looped with, well, any of the julia family.

The full glory

My own humble attempt to get to grips with the mysterious glynnia variation.

Perlin chocolate melt

Just a quick showcase for this wonderful new dc_perlin plugin. Includes presentation box ;-)

Moth

First outing for a new combo/framework separation-bipolar.

The light of a thousand suns

Two transforms!

Temporal weave

Psychedelic abstract: peer into the mirror of your mind.

Rain-streaked autumn Sunday

Suffused with inadmissible melancholia.

Studies in turbulence

Been a while since I've done a gnarl.

Vor-tex

Inspired by this.

Deep in the workings

"Right, now I'm pretty sure we connect this bit here..."

Warholian palette test

Created especially for the Abstract Colours Contest. Because the form is repeated, the focus falls on the changing colour palette as the eye saccades across the motifs.

Syzygy

So two-faced ;)

Batik

As a comparison with the previous, here's a GlynnSim2 framework.

Painted eggs

Always a major thrill to stumble upon a new framework. Not spherical/curl/mobius-juliascope, nor GlynnSim, nor flux: this is log.

Lingam shamanic

I decided to get some DC into my plastic. Ooh, Mr Shaman, am I tripping or are you really pleased to see me? :D

Exhibition space

Found a tutorial that I'd downloaded but never tried, a variation on the flipped disc style http://spearhawk.deviantart.com/art/Mirror-Disc-Tutorial-49113096

Float on

Splits-crop.

Arcanum

Inspired by this tutorial.

Green and blue

Just can't keep away from ngon-splits! First of a fresh batch.

Experiments in tiling #2: trompe l'oeil

Experiments in tiling 2, adding a fake depth. Full view essential.

Confessions of a pyjama-sniffer

May as well have fun with abstract titles ;)

#3 of 'Ready-framed abstracts'.

Folk eye focus

My entry for Apophysis Challenge #38, foci FX.

Experiments in tiling 1

Does exactly what it says on the tin.

Blemished geomatria

A serendipitous artifact of dc_linear's interaction with other variations. I liked it enough to make it the main feature!

#2 of 'Ready-framed abstracts'.

Deconstructing midnight

Never too far away from the abstracts, this is the first of a new series 'Ready-framed abstracts', all utilising post_crop on the final transform to produce the frame.

Harry Haller's magic theatre

Inspired by the hallucinatory denouement of Hermann Hesse's 'Steppenwolf'. Whilst the theatre is described as a horseshoe-shaped corridor with many doors, I've used artistic licence to depict a four-fold vision of an infinitely long straight corridor as the atmosphere felt perfect.

The I Ching arcade

Divine personal change in a booth of your selection!

Forest snitterfields

From 'The Meaning of Liff':

SNITTER (n.)
One of the rather unfunny newspaper clippings pinned to an office wall, the humour of which is supposed to derive from the fact that the headline contains a name similar to that of one of the occupants to the office.

SNITTERBY (n.)
Someone who pins snitters (q.v.) on to snitterfields (q.v.) and is also suspected of being responsible for the extinction of virginstows (q.v.)

SNITTERFIELD (n.)
Office noticeboard on which snitters (q.v.),cards saying 'You don't have to be mad to work here, but if you are it helps !!!' and slightly smutty postcards from Ibiza get pinned up by snitterbies (q.v.)

Wicker work

A new twist for ngon-splits.

Glamour shoot

Neon lights, neon lips, mirrors, angles, dark corners: a session in the studio.

Spectral analysis

My entry for Apophysis Challenge #34, bipolar. I've been meaning to get back into these and finally have.

Blade

Pure Apophysis using the Crop plugin to create the 'frame'. Its effect is subtly different from simply cropping and adding an artificial 1 px frame as the fractal appears to have smeared itself out against an invisible barrier.

#3 (and final) of "Alt flower" series

The sinew engine

A huge render, the better to appreciate the unique texture and colouring.

#2 of "Alt flower" series

A very digital flower

I'm rather enamoured of the effect of the blur-pixelize overlay. Full view essential.

#1 of "Alt flower" series

The Sun remains the same

Applying DC to the stained glass framework.

Confluence

A coming-together of multiple flows.

In a sentimental mood

More DC experimentation, named after the Duke Ellington composition.

Adventures in Candyland

Well, now that I'm here... A nice big render to get lost in :D

Last time I checked...

Check this out!

Antarctic expedition

First application of DC to the abstract style.

The Pillars of Candyland

For the sweet of tooth...

First contact

"Hai! There's so much we want to tell you about yourselves..." Close encounters with gelatinous aliens in the oceans' abysmal trenches.
