First Fractal Friday

Filed under: Fractals

Well, this is the first of what will hopefully become a regular Friday post in which I will post a piece of art I created.

Most of the time I will be posting fractal art.

Definition of a fractal: In colloquial usage, a fractal is “a rough or fragmented geometric shape that can be subdivided in parts, each of which is (at least approximately) a reduced-size copy of the whole”.

That’s just a basic definition of a fractal, but if you search wikipedia you can find a good number of great examples of just what fractal art looks like.

All the fractals I make are made using a program called Apophysis, which is a piece of software made just for the creation of fractals. (There are other fractal creating programs out there but I don’t use any of them…..yet)

Whisper
I decided to call this particular piece whisper…..I can’t exactly remember why, but I think it had to do with something I saw in a movie once.
You can find the full size version here in my DeviantArt gallery.

Hope you enjoy

-Till the next time we meet, God Bless -
