Building blocks

The Temple of Absurd Delights

see 'The Temple of Absurd Delights' at deviantART

A nice big render, the better to see the detail in this hypnagogic vision apparently populated by entities somewhere between parodic Hindu godlets and flirtatious racoons. Splits-elliptic, would you believe!

Antique shield

see 'Antique shield' at deviantART

My entry for the weekly Apophysis Challenge #15, splits. Detail sacrificed in favour of jaggy removal by rendering with flam3 with a large filter radius.

Lux intensia

see 'Lux intensia' at deviantART

Abstract utilising some kind of devilish concoction of linking whose exact provenance now eludes.

Exploding Julia

see 'Exploding Julia' at deviantART

My entry for the Ain't Got No Heart contest. The title is intended as a kind of semantic Necker Cube: the more obvious reading describes what it is; read in the same vein as 'Boxing Helena' to fully understand the contest relevance ;)

Abyss

see 'Abyss' at deviantART

A relatively simple tweak of the new splits-elliptic, exchanging cylinder for hyperbolic and adding a phoenix_julia final xform.

And rock also flows

see 'And rock also flows' at deviantART

Jumping on the splits-elliptic bandwagon, but with some serious twists. First of many ;)

High-rise

see 'High-rise' at deviantART

Abstract rendered in low quality (about 50, if I remember) to provide textural interest.

Your hair that night…

buy print of 'Your hair that night…' at Fine Art America

The reminiscence of a lover, or a killer?
