Fantastic Fractalicious Fractals issue 14The first issue of this year! This time I want to present some of the coolest fractals from 2011, it was really difficult to pick out some faves of the year, you are too good!!! But first, a short resume of last year's happenings.Fantastic Fractalicious Fractals issue 14 in Personal More Like This
What happened last year?
Pretty lot! There have been fractal circles with tweaking fractals around, both in the group :#fractalcircles: and ponging parameters in :#aposhack: , Light `SuicideBySafetyPin introduced us for the Inspiration station, the fractal flash mob, a collective feature of different artists. *heavenriver has her UF challenge going on http://heavenriver.deviantart.com/journal/Ultra-Fractal-monthly-Challenges-Redux-Vol-12-277027446 and `f--l--A--r--k has his Apo challenge http://fav.me/d4l1fc6 and it would be great if we could keep up supporting them! We were catched by :devlindel

Fantastic Fractalicious Fractals # 15Did you miss the series? I have missed it too, but I thought it would be a good idea to have a break from it until I found some inspiration again. You guys never stop to amaze me, I get new and fresh works, journals and tutorials in my inbox every day, and now I thought I should share it with you. First some news from DA's fractal corner.Fantastic Fractalicious Fractals # 15 in Personal More Like This
=raysheaf is planning a tutorial on how to make realistic shapes using concentric circles in UF. Be sure to add him to your watch list if you want this tutorial in your inbox! http://fav.me/d4t8eug
Light has challenged Chiara with this one:and I think it's a great idea! It's not like the usual parameter pongs, but a co-operation between two artists with different styles, where the result shows off each artist's style. Just imagine =Leichenengel's colourful psychedelic style with :devjimpan73: metallic spirals and shiny gems. Or *LeonieZurakowsky's colourful plastic mandelbulb shapes with ~kr0mat1k's quirky metallic bul
FFF series issue 13You wonder what's with the weird title? Yep, I thought I should submit with sta.sh instead of my journal, and of course, it was the famous 30 character limit again. Nevermind, I've heard that it will change soon. I'm back again with the series. And from now on, the series will come out semimonthly instead of each week. It gives me more time to dig up new goodies and collect resources and news. And you'll not be tired of the squirrel and her instant chattering. At least I hope soFFF series issue 13 in Personal More Like ThisThe fractal artists here never disappoint, it's a constant stream of lovely beauties into the fractal gallery. Let us dive into them, shall we?

2011 BMFAC News UpdateBMFAC winners published in print magazine!2011 BMFAC News Update in Digital Art More Like This
The 25 winners of the Benoit Mandelbrot Fractal Art Contest were contacted in mid February to supply large format files of their winning images and also a short bio explaining their interest in fractal art, software used and general information about their work if they chose to do so. We were also informed that the first exhibit would be held in Logroño, in Northern Spain. Javier Barrallo, a Professor of Mathematics at The University of the Basque Country, Spain and also one of the panelists for the BMFAC was our contact for this. The current exhibit will be in the Casa de la Ciencia (House of Science), in Logroño, the Capital city of RIOJA until June 10th. I'll post a few pictures Javier sent further down. Javier also says he will send more pictures soon.
Also when I was contacted in February, Javier informed me that he had written an article about the BMFAC for a Spanish scientific magazine with all the winning images i

From Resources to Fractal Art #1Hi deviants !From Resources to Fractal Art #1 in Art Features More Like This
Welcome to my new series : "From Resources to Fractal Art".
What is really interesting in the fractal community, is the way deviants interact between each others to share their knowledge with tutorial or Parameters Pong (Sharing Parameters to tweak the main fractals).
Therefore, in this article I'm going to select a resource randomly and show you how to start from a tutorial to achieve a wonderful fractal.
This week, let's take a look at `lindelokse tutorial : Apophysis 3D Blooms Tutorial
This tutorial is an evolution of her first tutorial about 2D blooms.
Since Chiara explained us how to create bloom a lot of deviants tweaked and had fun with this technique!
Here's a lil' sample of what you can find in this category !

But, right now, a group of people, really draw my attention and made me realize that we, fractal community, is still one of the greatest community here in dA and in many other place. They proof me about that by making a journal, featuring one same person at the same time. It's TheInspiration Station #1: Xyrus02 in Digital Art More Like This

I'm Esin. I was born and raised in Istanbul but I currently live in Montreal, studying psychology and neuroscience.
What is the first thing that makes you attracted to Fractal Art?
I like scale variance and self-repetition, but in all mediums, not just fractal art. I'm not sure if that's a preference that developed after being involved with fractal art or the reason why I started in the first place.
What kind of fractal that you like the most,and Why?
I'm known to like 'abstract' fractals (in order to save time and space, see http://fracstract.deviantart.com/art/Gallery-Criteria-286692510 for a thorough explanation of what I mean by that). That's actual

MESSAGE FOR APOPHYSIS-ARTISTS:
Going through your galleries looking for hearts I've noticed
that a lot of the hearts made with the juliascope variation in the Final Transform show the well-known "black hole".
If you would like to get rid of this hole,
you can do so by increasing the value of the variable juliascope_dist to higher than 1.
In my fractal shown below I have used a juliascope_dist value of 1.91:
