Possum Roadkill Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 (edited) Abstract of the Week Competition # 1 THEME IS: "Fractal-ized" ! Make an abstract that looks like a fractal. This is the first competition dedicated to Abstract Art created in Paint.Net. Since this is the first round, I want to keep it simple so here are the rules. 1. All entries must be 100% created in Paint.net, no stock photos or renders. 2. Minimum size is 800 X 600. There is no maximum size. 3. All submissions must be entered as a thumbnail link to the full size image. 4. No images previously submitted will be allowed. DO NOT POST YOUR ENTRY HERE ! This thread is for discussion of this comp only ! Post all entries in the entry thread HERE The entry period for this competition run through Saturday night (April 17th, 2010) at midnight, Eastern Daylight Savings Time. All entries submitted up to that time will be accepted. A special thanks to Frontcannon who gave me the idea for the theme.

You have to have one before you can link to the other. Kind of like two ships passing in the night. Try it now.

sokagirl Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Meh I'm no good at Fractals I thought it was going to be Abstracts in general I do a have a few but would I be able to use something from my archive's ? Or does it have to be freshly made ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisco97 Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 I might be entering, but since it has to be 100% Paint.NET, I might not be. ------ AFG, that is unbelievable! My favourite entry so far! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Possum Roadkill Posted April 12, 2010 Author Share Posted April 12, 2010 Meh I'm no good at Fractals I thought it was going to be Abstracts in general I do a have a few but would I be able to use something from my archive's ? Or does it have to be freshly made ? It's not fractals, it's "fractalize". That means making something that looks like a fractal in Paint.net. I think a lot of your abstract work looks "fractalesque". Since there are so many kinds of fractals, it pretty much leaves it up to your imagination. Heck, even using the clouds plugin and then running it through the fire plugin could be considered a fractal. I would hope someone would go to more effort than that. Here are a couple of links for everyone to look at. Read through (and look at the pictures) the first link first ! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fractal Then check out this "real" fractal page on DA. You will see that it's more open than you think it is. http://apophysis.deviantart.com/ My Gallery SAC, WOTW and Photo Manip Competition Host To visit the Comps click HERE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Possum Roadkill Posted April 12, 2010 Author Share Posted April 12, 2010 I'd like to call your attention to the "nifty" banner at the top of the Comp and the Discussion threads. The winning entry will have their entry (or a part of) used as the next AOTW banner ! I was going to try to get Rick to give you a ride in his , but the logistics of driving a across the oceans of the world proved to be more expensive than I thought.

barbieq25 Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 (edited) Sokagirl, go do it! You can! Take a look at the current entries. See what I mean? Possum & AFG are so right. EDIT: Sorry Possum, yes the banner looks great & I love the idea too! Edited April 12, 2010 by barbieq25 Knowledge is no burden to carry.

sokagirl Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Thanks guys but I'm still confused so I don't know .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Possum Roadkill Posted April 13, 2010 Author Share Posted April 13, 2010 Thanks guys but I'm still confused so I don't know .. Just look through your render menu in effects. Then compare the effects there to what you see on the Wikipedia page. There are a number of plugins that are based on fractals, and you have used some of them already.

sokagirl Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 Okay I just entered mine , I hope it qualifies as a fractalized abstract ? If not just disqualify me ha ha .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barbieq25 Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 Are you kidding!? Qualify? Nope! It takes the cake & the cherry too...it is superb! When it has puppies can I have one too please. You did really well. So intricate & such a beautiful colour. Told you the competition was really stiff & now you've made it even harder for me to win. In my books you're a winner because I know how hard you struggled to do this. Well done! Knowledge is no burden to carry.
