Description
- What do you do when you're overworked, overstressed, short of time and low on creativity?- Why, yet another Julian!
- So right.
- Amen.

Beautifully done, I love the little "worlds" you've created. Fantastic sense of depth as well.

Very smooth, and I love how the appearance of layers leads the eye right in.

"Yet another Julian", but certainly not just another Julian - a most original and successful treatment of the style

Really love the composition, and the contrast of the smooth, larger areas, with the lighter spheres (which remind me of deep-sea plankton!)

Cool you saw the plankton too, that was the first thing I thought of when the bubble took shape
Thanks for your nice comment

The image shows an absolute understanding and control over Apophysis. It's such a tricky process and only those with great knowledge of the program's features have a chance in producing such a wonderful result.
Congrats

Seriosuly where do you get these amazing ideas from?! this is soo cool, i love the subtle bands that run in the background that you can see on the left of the picture. Really wish i was good with Apo 3D but really cant do anything with it except normal fractals...

Man that's a tough call, cause actually I'm not so sure either... most of the times, there's much randomness involved: take a base flame (in this case a nondescript julian I'd made a while back), try out a few variations in one transform and see what ends. Looks good? Repeat on another transform, and so on... then once some detail pops out that hits the right brain button, it's all about adjusting the rest of the flame to bring it out the most - if things go fine (sort of against the odds) each time I'll be left with a couple new tricks and some new flames to develop in the future... if the odds are against me instead, I usually end up messing around to no end till I eventually shut down Apo in utter disappointment and play Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas to recover some good spirits Dunno, feels easy while doing it, but I'm sort of hard-pressed to explain it cool-minded.
In this case however I've used the 3D hack only because the hemisphere and pre_blur variations are not available in the normal version... but aside from that it's a 2D Julian on all counts

Ooo kool, Well it yields fantastic results!! I love julian stuff but when it becomes 3D I think it just looks fantatsic - Especially when you can get a good zoom on it too! Cograts dude!!

Thanks and I see what you mean, infinity and fractals go well together

It's your lucky day then a Julian is a particular type of fractal based on functions that yield curve lines (one of my favourite fractal styles as well). The basic Julian looks much like a persian rug, but as ~Meckie pointed out they're extremely versatile and can be tweaked into a variety of shapes... try typing "Julian", "Grand Julian" and "Simple Julian" in the dA search, and you'll surely find tons of very fine examples

Thanks man I'm especially glad you liked the composition, it took ages to find the right one and still I wasn't totally sure about it...

- you grab Apo and try well known techniques that you can do fast
- Julians are versatile as hell
- now go get yorself one!

couldn't have put it better I may just add I find Julians slightly addictive, too
