Heat Stroke

I agree with Welsh, excellent works

Very nice background! I really cant decide which version I prefer, they're both really good...

Thanks Rockandroll, Im glad you like them! @Drydareelin: I'll take that as a compliment. Thanks! St1ck3, thanks a lot! I am still making fractals, just not as much... @Helen: Thank you, yeah the power of PDN surprised me with this one. I tried the tutorial in PDN just to see if I could, and it was easier than I thought! Thank you Yellowman, it means a lot. And thank you Barbieq, I hope I continue to have the time to visit this forum...

Well I owe you both an apology for never responding to your comments. 2011 did not go well for me and I had to limit my computer free time to get stuff done. This year has just gotten better, but probably not for long. Here is something new..ish. It was a while ago, but its my most recent 100% PDN work. I usually combine PS and PDN along with Apo7x. You can see all those on my DA http://fc08.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2011/219/1/7/17529a4b079d5891391dd8b08a9c36d1-d45s2hh.png Based on this Illustrator tutorial. Which proves you dont need a vector program to make something like this. Thats all the rambling I will do for now. Thanks for reading.

Ya, well... I still lurk every now and then...

You have a lot of great artworks! It was a pleasure looking at all of them, even the ones you have already posted on DA.

Yup, great manips! I agree with Dug and Helen!

Echoing everyone else, I really like your gallery!

Thank you both for your very kind words! They really mean a lot to me! Welsh, I noticed that the two colors I keep gravitating to are red and blue... I will make an honest effort to make my next piece green.

Thank you both! So very sorry for not being active on this sight for such a long time. I've been a little more active on Fans and DA. Hopefully I can get more active here. I am loving the fractal world right now! Here are some new updates. The full stories of inspiration and such is on DA.

What, really?! A well deserved win! Amazing entries, congrats to all!

I like your new sig as well!

Great job on your game so far! I look forward to seeing more!

Are you sure your cropping it correctly? I use the rectangle select tool and draw a selection. Which you can always modify with the white arrow tool . Then you can use the keyboard shortcut ctrl + shift + x to crop to the selection.

Great work with the gears! I like the rusty look they have!

Wow! that is so cool! I cant believe how real it looks! Amazing job!

Great new image! I love what you did with the Yamaha symbol!

Thats pretty good!

Standing dragons is great!

You have some really nice artworks in here! The GIF is VERY well done! Something that might make that effect a little more extreme is adding some noise in some of the frames. I look forward to seeing more from you!

WOW! I love the 4th version! I really like monotone colors, but that may just be me...

All your latest artworks are very very well done! I especially like your SAC entry!

Thank you Chrisco, Helen, Welshblue, Dug, and Barbieq! Welshblue, I thought you have to pay for Incendia...? I will look into it because your Incendia artworks are amazing! Dug, it is definitely worth trying! The time it takes to render depends on how good your computer is, and how much quality you want. Even though it will take me about 5 hours to render a nice quality fractal, I will still do it! Besides, I can set it up at night so when I wake up, it is finished! Again, thank you all!
