Did this one for fun and out of boredom:
Sluggish 'Portrait'

Now that I think of it, this could turn into a series.. expect me with a mohawk and as a biker gang member soon

I found an old and horrid portrait of me (I didn't even have dreads then) and tried to draw me with the paint brush.. I wish I had a tablet

Is that still Pixel Art?
This looks interesting. For the non-German speakers, it says: 'is no valid 32Bit application (exception from HRESULT blablabla)'..

Corrupt setup, corrupt OS, even a virus. You have bad luck
Interesting result. If only there would be a little bit more variation to the icicles.. lots of potential! Keep us updated if you find the way to do the 'real' one
Most of them are useless (way too blurred or too dark), but I had a go with this one.
Outcome:
I reduced noise first, then used sharpen, increased brightness and contrast and finally increased the saturation.
Creating space nebulae with Apophysis is awfully difficult... I always get distracted and make something completely different.
And the different variations to chose from are so cryptically named, I always have to try them all to see what they do.
NEW pieces
Really proud of Fractalium, haven't worked with Apophysis in a long time..
So here you go:
Fractalium
Light Wall
Pixel Disco
The render of Fractalium and Light Wall can be found here. It's very large though (3000*4000px).
