Galactic Flame

I've been playing around with Apophysis, a neat little program for generating "fractal flames" (scatter plots based on somewhat complicated mathematical rules that the program largely hides from the artist). This was rendered out with Apophysis, then retouched heavily with Photoshop CS.

Right now, the style of this piece resembles that of many of the other fractal artists on this site. I plan to use some of these fractal patterns with my 3D graphics in the future, and to develop them into a style more my own. Stay tuned for more pics.
