ok! So it's been a while since I made a new fractal - I like to think that each new one I make becomes more and more advanced, with more visual eye candy for you to enjoy - and I am rather pleased with this one.

I wanted to replicate the lifestream from final fantasy 7 - and make a planet like the epicentre of the lifestream, while also comparing it to the holy materia gdropped by aeris, but instead of water it is falling into space.

Think of it like a birds eye view - and god is dropping an overly complicated sphere of life into the void of space, with the lifestream ready to embreace it below.

Please don't look at art and see only what you think is obvious. Art is about interpretation, and appreciation of form. If you fail to see that in my works then that saddens me, but there isn't much I can do about it.

enjoy!

Made in apophysis 2d, 3d and 7x, as well as photoshop 7.

I always thought of this as your magnum opus. The greatest of your work. In the vast expanses of an empty purple haze, there is a beam of green. The soul of the punctures the darkness, weaving a web into eternity. The whole of this masterpiece is a like planet, and a shell.
It's a very spiritual work. Harmonious, deep as the dark. Warm as the life that hides behind it. I can hear it, I can feel it.
Very, very accomplished. The lives that have long since past. This is a great work.

Love the light effects

~~REVIEW~~
Wow very impressive with this one, the lighting effects, and glows really seem to comeout very well, you really have those areas down, If you look at the design in the {MIDDLE} its really hard to see, maybe do to all that lighting but from far away its actually pretty good i thought, the backround {STARS} are also cool, nice patches you have there, I see lots of greens, purples and lighting effect on that, it might be that extra touch with abit of {REDS} in there , but anyways, still an awsome well detailed and shows you put alot of effort into this , so for that nice work indeed, cant wait to see what you bringout next, anyways good luck on your next peice hope its as good if not better.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
Some other added color would be a nice start to an already great piece.

Chronamut responds:

I thought about added colour but really want for contrast here - which meant complementary colours - purples and greens making the strongest contrast, as well as lights and darks :)

feel free to check out my other fractals, and yes I try to improve on each fractal I make :)

thanks for the review! :)

Hey Chronamut,

--Production--
The colours in this have a very green-and-purple theme, which I'm not sure I like. The main point though is the fractal in the middle, which is crazy looking. There's a lot of glow on each line, though, so it's hard to see detail, even when zoomed in. And in a fractal, detail is paramount.

--Experience--
There's an interesting mystical quality about this, which is kind of like what you said, an overly complicated sphere of life. It's amazing to think that every atom in the universe is more complicated than this beautiful fractal. It's surreal and beautiful, but kind of creepy too. And that's good.

--Style--
There's a certain style to this that is very unique and full of flair. It's kind of as if there is much detail to be explored within each pixel, but I would have liked it to be even bigger and in more detail. Is there a bigger res version of this? I would like to see.

--Wow Factor--
I was pretty amazed by this, and then I saw your score of 4.33 and I wasn't surprised. Then I saw that it got frontpaged, and your other works too. I realised that I was looking at the work of a prolific artist. Your work amazed me, but I still reckon that more colour would make this work even more diverse. Such as planets in the background. (minor irk)

--Personal Tilt--
This is a nice wonderful surreal picture of a fractal that perhaps has too much glow to properly admire. But it still is beautiful, and the surroundings are exquisitely space-like. I wouldn't say Final-Fantasy-esque, simply because I haven't played any FF's in the futuristic setting. But I do think that this might be the picture of one person's "final fantasy". Thanks for sharing.

--Production-- = 20/20
--Experience-- = 18/20
--Style-- = 17/20
--Wow Factor-- = 16/20
--Personal Tilt-- = 16/20

OVERALL SCORE: 87/100

Chronamut responds:

originally it was bluie and green but I decided that purple and green offered the most colour contrast - them being complementary colours and all..

I could have made this more detailed - but consider I made this to fit my screen resolution - so anything bigger would have just been a waste and taken longer to render. I realize that everything shrunk down with the rez quality makes it harder to see things - easy enough to blow up - I would just change the dpi and scale it up.

And I like the glow - I think it balences well with the fractal in the middle - esp. as a desktop b/g :)

and hmm.. 87 aint bad :P - in art I always consdered anything above 85 to be a personal success :)

thanks for the review! Go check out me other stuff :) Remember you can review stuff just as you sometimes.. not just as part of the review request club ;)
