Heat Stroke's gallery_+April 3 and update

[Possum Roadkill]

You have gotten so darn good. I'm just blown away with your gallery. Well done !

[chrisco97]

I like the red one better than the green one, but I am not quite sure why. I think it is the colours.

[Heat Stroke]

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. Oldest on top, newest on bottom:

All of these are originally created with Apophysis 7x, then manipulated, mutilated, and utterly mangled with PDN. a lot of them are a combination of multiple fractals and a lot of PDN work.

Let me just say this. I'm happy I know such a talented person. Superb work with all of the images! Your latest ones, the laser and fizz, are so lovely!

[Heat Stroke]

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.

Laser Show is just fabulous! What a great bunch of images you have been producing lately. I am glad you understand the concept of the rendering time. It really shows in the quality of your work.

[Heat Stroke]

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

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.

Wow, amazing gallery. i just love your abstracts. The stock manipulation "Run" is awsome an makes me consider to try out photomanipulation myself. One of my favorates is the gallery image where you start with. There are so much good images here ( i even like the space images, which i normally dont). Your latest image is a beauty aswell ( its kind of familiar). Overal a very impressive gallery.

.. thanks for sharing the links to the tutorials and music . very much appreciated.

Dammit Heat, you're making us all look bad

[St1cki3]

God I'm loving your fractals! And I love how much you've improved since last time I was here. Marry me! :O

It's polished and it's 3D. The power of PDN? Great work!

Amazing 3D, HS, I like optical illusion in it, the colors are just awesome. And I like the logo, too.

Great to see you positing again .

[barbieq25]

Fabo! Great to see you here again showing your wonderful works! My how you have progressed. Such a pleasure to see.

[Heat Stroke]

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 now that's a great work you've got here!

I really like your newest pic. It's so neat and accurate. Shadow/lighting is awesome, and the choice of colors is really good as well.

Composition, on the other hand, seems not perfect to me, 'cause IMHO the image is a bit 'overweight' on the right side. Probably some work with the background could change that.

But in general, again, it looks just wonderful.

[Pixey]

Such a pleasure to look through your Gallery again. Golly - all of your work is so "polished-looking" and, as you know, I adore your fractals. I still haven't gotten around to trying Apo Love the newest text piece - very professional indeed

[dug]

Good to see your work again.Your latest work is very sleek,clean and professional looking.Nice one!

BTW.love the sig.
