Images Used on VAC Album

Journal Entry: Thu Oct 30, 2014, 6:30 AM

Woot! This spring I licensed some of my work to VAC (Velvet Acid Christ) for their new compact disc and album, "Subconscious Landscapes" which was released a few days ago on October 25. They had offered posters, t-shirts, signed merchandise and etc (no longer available) with my art as part of their pledge music drive leading up to the release. VAC's genre of music is Industrial Trip-hop Trance, EBM, Techno, Goth and Darkwave. You can order the CD, Album or MP3's here www.velvetacidchrist.com/2014/… . The VAC website is here www.velvetacidchrist.com/ and their facebook page is here www.facebook.com/VelvetAcidChr…

It was a good experience working with Bryan Erickson of VAC and Joe Schulthise of Metroplis Records www.metropolis-records.com/. I had to use the 'big render' feature in MB3D on "Industrial Contamination" as it is an inherently noisy image, though not obviously so if viewed at reduced resolution. I believe I rendered it about 1.1 gigapixels (34,560 X 34,560 to smooth it out and then used tripple anti-alias for the finish image.

Below are a few images of the finished artwork, one of them including upcoming show dates in the US.

And also the 4 original images that I licensed for the project...

Appalling Deviantart policyEDIT: I'm updating this because after almost 4,000 negative comments on the original journal, numerous journal shares and social media comments, Deviantart is going to lift the Geoban on Syria. Mythiril's statement: https://comments.deviantart.com/1/731065159/4555022355 and DA's statement: https://comments.deviantart.com/1/731065159/4554993532
My original journal still remains below.
End edit------------------------------
Deviantart says "We are the movement for the liberation of creative expression." A few days ago, Deviantart blocked all the artists, and indeed the entire country of Syria. Deviantart says "Artists love us because we are an inclusive and supportive community." Deviantart has now blocked all the Iranian artists, and their entire country. They are also (possibly) blocking all the posts about this situation on the DA site by tagging all those posts with a 'mature content' tag so casual visitors, or people that don't have an accou

GOTG VOL 2 gets Shot at an OscarThis wouldn't normally be anything to mention here. But having worked as a concept artist on "Guardians of the Galaxy vol 2", I am of course quite interested to see if Guardians 2 can snag an Oscar for visual effects. I am always quick to say that few - if any - of the 300 + concept images I sent to Marvel were used in their raw form in the film. However, a good majority of the eye candy on the planet Ego was based on, inspired or influenced by the images I submitted. Particularly the palace design, bedroom area and most of the subterranean scenes.
Other concept artists such as Sam Michlap and Craig Sellars (and many others) were able to take the raw work I sent and create incredible scenes and structures that went far beyond what I could ever have accomplished. Visual effects supervisor Christopher Townsend and the VFX companies brought it all to life.
Unfortunately, Hollywood has not been all that supportive of 'superhero' movies in the past (as far as Oscars go), even thou

Interview in Digital Art LiveI was interviewed a few weeks ago for the August issue of Digital Art Live online magazine. If you would like to read it, I finally got a link to work, I hope. I couldn't link to it directly, so you'll have to click the link on my FB page if you want a look~ https://www.facebook.com/HalTenny/posts/10207546647864772?pnref=story

I didn't realize until it came out today that one of my images would be on the cover, "Fantasy Tree Cottage".

Below is what the issue cover looks like!

Mandelbulb 3D ~ SphereheightmapThis is kind of a continuation of my previous journal about the flat plane type of heightmap. So this will cover the sphereheightmap. I'm going to start off with the same image we ended with previously. It already has the brick floor made with the standard HeightMapIFS formula in position 1. Those parameters are at the end of this tutorial. Let's have at it!
As I mentioned before, I prefer to place heightmaps, sphere heightmaps and dIFspheres in the first formula slot, because in my work I am much more apt to add extra escapetime formulas to the end of my formula string. Also as I said before, I usually leave an empty formula slot in position Fo.1. (Formula slot 1) so I am prepared to use a heightmap if I decide to at some later time in the creation process. Normally I never use more than one dIFS formula, so the one empty slot works well. But in this case, I have already filled Fo.1 with the HeightMapIFS that creates the brick floor. So there are two choices here. We can simply replac

Mandelbulb 3D and HeightmapsSeveral people lately have asked me about how to use heightmaps in MB3D. I don't use them a lot, but I can explain the basics on how to use them in the limited way that I do. As usual, I make no claim to being an expert. The way I work is the best way for me, and I would never be so arrogant as to suggest my way is a better way or the best way for everyone. It's the best way for me and my work flow. This Journal is for beginners. Note: Click on the title of this Journal to open it on a new page and it should visually look much better organized. Let's begin~
I think the reason some people have trouble with heightmaps is because of where their current camera view or position is within their fractal image. If you are building a fractal from scratch, and place your heightmap first, then you will probably not have a problem working with it. The heightmap will be visible in the center of the preview image in your main window. In the image below, I have opened MB3D, replaced the d

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2 update 2Back in December, I was allowed to announce that I had contributed conceptual fractal images for the Marvel film, "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2". Since then Marvel has released two short trailers and one full length trailer from the film. I just wanted to share a few new screen grabs of some of the fractal imagery.
I do want to stress that I only supplied fractal images and some models as concepts. I had no input what so ever on how the imagery was used, and for the most part any fractal imagery you see in the film has been further 'conceptualized' by other artists. For instance, a scene that shows fractal elements will most likely have been constructed from parts or pieces of many different fractal images I sent rather than a standalone fractal image.
I am of course proud to have contributed Mandelbulb 3D fractal imagery for the film, and that it has an important impact in some of the scenes. But a significant portion of the credit also has to be given to the professional concept art

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2 ImageA few weeks ago I mentioned that I supplied some concept art for the Marvel film, "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2". They've recently released a high res image that includes some Mandelbulb 3D imagery I sent, so I wanted to share that here. It's also possible that the 'bent tower' shapes are 3d models, or that there will be 3D models of those structures in the film. Hopefully, from time to time they'll release more images I can share.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 and Mandelbulb 3DAbout fourteen months ago, the supervising art director for the Marvel film, "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.2" contacted me asking if I would like to do some visual consulting work, possibly as a conceptual artist on the film.
My first reaction was that it simply couldn't be true. So I cautiously replied to the email, explaining the limitations of what I could and couldn't do with Mandelbulb 3D. A dozen or so emails and a few phone calls later, I signed a non disclosure agreement, (plus a few other agreements) and promptly began work.
One of the agreements forbade me of even mentioning any involvement whatsoever with the project unless given express permission. I never even asked them for permission until some of the trailers for the movie started coming out, and then some people in the fractal community started spotting some fractal elements in a few of the scenes.
I'm still bound by the agreements I signed to not provide any specific details on the work I did nor reveal any artwork I c

So sick of thumbnails not loading.A typical day browsing for stock resources at Deviant Art gives these results. Waiting for t01.deviantart.net... Waiting for t09.deviantart.net... Waiting for t11.deviantart.net... What do we pay for? Seriously. How about developing more features that your servers can't handle? Or charging more money for a broken system? This happens every day, it is not an isolated thing, and it is not fixed as they had claimed some time back. Maybe it's because users like KarmaButterflyLove has over 780 copyrighted glamor photos (photo packs) posted, and users like SensePngs that has over 430, just to name a few. Yeah, that's art, posting copyrighted glamor photos, that's what we're paying for. That's what DA has fallen to. I hope everyone has better luck than me finding something useful here... on a semi-regular basis...

Lackadaisy - Card GameSome of you might remember me talking about the card game last year. My publisher only had a very small number of them in stock, but they're finally back. We made a lot more of them this time - and with new, custom dice too!
If interested, here's where to order.

I've recently left my job in the game industry so that I could focus more of my time and attention on Lackadaisy. Patreon is my weapon of choice in trying to see this to fruition.

Update from DD-Catalogue FounderDear All,
Thank you for 'watching' DD-Catalogue, and for all your support over the last 4 years. You may have noticed that the group has recently lost super group status. I'd like to apologise for the disruption this has caused to our Gallery and homepage. I'd also like to apologise for the lack of updates and features recently. I have neglected the group somewhat during my university study.
...but I'm planning a revamp to make it better than ever!
I would appreciate it if you could give me some feedback in the comments on some of the following:

What do you like most about DD-Catalogue?

What would you like to see from DD-Catalogue? (features/interviews/polls ??)

Would you donate a small amount towards Super Group status?

Would you like to be on the admin team?
Thanks for reading,
Thomas (thomasms)
