The Hawk of Pontus - Excerpt 1 by UniversalKinase, literature

The Hawk of Pontus - Excerpt 1

Shots rang out nearby, and Andrew came awake with a jolt. Several arrhythmic cracks were followed and drowned out by the chatter of automatic weapons fire that echoed amongst worn brick and concrete buildings and the dilapidated siding structures that had sprung up near the tracks. Andrew remained very still, gripping the arms of his seat in the train car. His breaths came shallow and quick though. Yet, the train rolled slowly on, its mournful horn wailing out from time to time, as the clicking of the tracks beneath the train’s many wheels passed beneath him like waves of metal. These grand old empires, cruel and proud. Their age seeped through their streets, flowed out from time-worn marks on their buildings, effusing into an aura that mixed with smoke and sewer gasses to hang heavy in the air. Kings, Dukes and Emperors once ruled here, before their crowns were knocked off, tilled into the soil, and a new growth of democracy took hold. At its best, it had been pretty good, times of

Galilei by UniversalKinase, literature

Galilei

Praise be to he named Galileo Galilei for by star and by sea he spoke epiphany Far see-er, orb dropper scope crafter, truth teller When all the world chanted falsehood he dared to open his eyes and see he dared to cast off the veil and teach others to see for themselves. Though it was his demise by the light in his eyes He shared what he could learn and he felt the world turn Bowed but not broken he knew what he'd spoken though kings, clerics and scribes decried him with lies Few were ever so bold as the truth that he told Though pontiffs gnashed their teeth and sought to send him beneath, his truth could not be unraveled. Through time his words traveled by page, key and hooves "and yet it moves".

Etched in the Wind by UniversalKinase, literature

Etched in the Wind

The moonlight illuminated the soft curves of Serinae’s face as she floated above the sea of clouds. Her silk robes wafted around her in the gentle breeze as she slowly rose and fell to the beating of giant reptilian wings. She smiled kindly at Gydal, the emerald colored dragon who she rode on, and then glanced to her right and left at the other four dragon riders who were tearing through the night sky. “Another night, another castle” she murmured to herself with a sigh. [Don’t worry] answered Gydal in her mind [the conquest of Abledon is almost complete.] “And then what?” asked Serinae “It’s only a m

Revoked Ascendency 1 by UniversalKinase, literature

Revoked Ascendency 1

Lord Faram chuckled in his deep throaty voice as he sat back in his throne. The late afternoon sun cast slanted shadows into his castle’s keep. Polished oak tables and dark stone walls secured the rooms edges, leaving the middle open for the long blood red carpet that led from throne to door. This was his abode, granted to him by the ruling Gandavi in the area, and today he would strengthen his hold on the surrounding jungle even more. “Lord Faram!” called a breathless page, bursting through the doors at the end of the hall. “The rebel leader who agreed to negotiate with you is here. She is alone and unarmed, so we will b

My Bio

I began making fractal art back in 2006, shortly after I joined DA. Since that time, I have competed in a number of fractal contests and won several. My techniques vary significantly from some that you see among other fractal artists. I have remained on the outskirts of the community, which has in some ways stunted my growth as an artist, but simultaneously challenged me to develop my own techniques and gain a better understanding of the underlying mathematical principals that govern fractals. However, I have learned that it doesn't matter how much time you spend on techniques if you don't put your soul into the art you're making. It doesn't matter what median it is, without passion all you get is a hollow image, devoid of feeling.

While most of my art consists of fractals, I love to write, and I value my prose and poetry just as highly as my best fractals.

I am always eager to help people out, so if you have any questions about how I make my art, or if you would like me to make something for you, feel free to ask.

New Computer, Issues Resolved

0 min read

I was a bit slow on making fractal art for a while. My old computer, which had been working well for 10 years, finally died. Getting Apophysis working well on the new one took a bit of tinkering. It was successful though, and I'm back at it. When I make fractals, sometimes I'm trying to do something ambitious, and sometimes I'm just making stuff for fun, and as a relaxing process. I'm not doing anything ambitious at the moment. I did something artistic and fairly impressive (in my opinion) in a different medium from usual over the past few months. I've been playing on a Minecraft server, and I carved out and decorated a large cavern complex, filled with a number of fantasy things, some of which were inspired by common tropes, and some of which were out of my own imagination. I also drew inspiration from caves I've been in IRL, some literature I've read, and from Mammoth Hot Springs in Yellowstone. This isn't the best platform to show off all of that, but I might upload a few

It has been a while since I've submitted anything. Sorry, I've been really busy, but in the near future, I intend to add some more art to this gallery. I hope you are all well. COVID-19 is disrupting a lot of lives, and unfortunately ending some too....

Scott, are you doing okay? I haven't seen any posts lately and am worried about you! I am so enjoying the calendar. It is in my living room and I look at it every day! Hope you are safe and well!

Yes, doing alright, sorry for the lack of new posts. I'm glad that you're enjoying the calendar, and thank you. I hope you are well, and I'll try to post some new things soon. ^_^

Not a problem! Just with the all that is going on in the world with Covid, when people stop posting I get worried! Most importantly you are well. Creativity flows at times, I am the same way.

Thanks for answering so quickly!

I am doing great, thanks!

Been harnessing my creativity in different ways, but certainly haven't felt like I've run dry on it. Some friends of mine have a minecraft server, and I've been building and designing immersive artistic experiences in it, but that doesn't translate well to posting on DA. I still write things, and I still make fractals though, I just haven't been impressed by my recent creations in those categories. I'll try to change that.

There are many alarming things going on in the world, but then again... I think that's probably always true. Still, I'm fully vaccinated, and have been engaging in some precautions still due to the delta variant. COVID is concerning, but with the precautions I've taken, I'm not worried about it threatening my own health.

I'm glad you're doing well. I'll check on your recent art. ^_^
