Hey peeps!

While browsing around today, I suddenly noticed that no one really makes "Make Of's" of fractals. Well, that is on one hand quite logical, because if you look at fractals from the pros here, they have hundreds of layers and it is impossible to put that into a "Making of"

At the same time, I thought it would be a good idea to add thoughts and personal workflows to it.

It won't be like a tutorial saying "....start with this, now go over to this..."  It's worth a try, and I'm curious if you like it



So today, I will start with the "Making of..." of my "Back to black" image I uploaded yesterday. I am not sure if I can finish it today, but I work on it.

My plan is, to write "Making of's" of future fractals I make. That is, if they are not too difficult to explain and I can remember all the steps

Some of you may be wondering why?

Well, I remember when I started with fractal art, I was desperate for tips and hints and thoughts.
That way I learned to find my own workflow and develop a "taste" in likes/dislikes.

And hopefully, those who think creating fractals is just "pushing buttons" get another view on the matter.

If you have any special thoughts on that, just post a comment and let me know

Hey folks,

art is art, right? No matter if it's fractals or paintings or 3D. So why not take all into one account?

That is what I'm doing right now

And for you it means that you get to see all the stuff I create besides of fractals.

I am sick of switching accounts, and actually there's no reason to do so.


I will disable my Nerra Account and hope I'm able to add all the peeps I watch over there.

Anyway, I hope you like my decision

Thanks for your time,

take care
Tanja

Hey folks,

recently, while browsing through dA I thought about two things:

1. Should I put my 3D and other art over on this fractal account? Would mean less work cause then it's just one thing I have to take care of.

2. Should I buy a membership?? Hm....would mean I can have a stylish journal, and I would like to do features.....but on the other hand....does this mean it consumes lots of time??

Don't get me wrong, I love spending time here, but I also have a job in which I work in shifts......

Any suggestions or opinions?

Take care

Tanja

Yes! The uncreative times are over! And some things changed. Finally I got a job and am working 80% now. It's fun and I enjoy it after so many years off the marked thanks to my
depression and panic attacks. Things go well and it seems that inspired me Browsing a bit through my favs here, I came up with the idea to start a little UF color collection to share with you. I'll work on it

And now, stop reading and create more art!!

Peace
T.

Hey fellow fractalists,

as you might have noticed: Nothing new in my gallery. I'm unmotivated. Seeing all the fantastic art from people who take Janet's class, I'm left like "whoahhh, how do they DO that??"
I tend to get stuck and frustrated when I'm not moving forward with my creations. So I'm stuck with doing nothing. Instead of learning and trying.

I don't have the motivation or inspiration to work with UF right now. Maybe if I just start, it will work out, but starting is hard and somehow I feel like in the very beginning when I used UF just thinking "I will never manage that!" I worked with PS now for a while and learned a lot, maybe I should take that motivation and start UF again, thinking that I possibly might create something that is worth to look at. Creating nothing makes me grumpy And it is stressing me.

I know that everybody has such times, no matter if fractalist, painter, writer, etc.

Creating art is important to me. It was always a part of my life and therefore I take it maybe more seriously than other hobby artists. I won't make a living out of that, but this does not matter.

Having said that, I feel a bit better and will browse for some inspiration now

Take care and have a great weekend!

Hey fractaholics,

as you may have noticed, I cleaned my gallery I created more folders to have it more sorted and deleted old stuff which I don't like anymore. Don't be scared, I have all files still on my Pc, I just deleted them from the gallery *lol*

I was so inspired by the DD that I thought I show more advanced images off in the future. I also created a folder for mandies, I will look for them soon and post them, if I can catch them

You also find a resources folder and a tutorial folder now. I hope that saves you some time, when you search for something.

Well, that was all I had to say, have a great creative weekend!

Tanja

Wow......wow, folks! Happy New Year! Coming back from holiday and finding out that one of my b/w pieces got a DD! Thank you so much for suggesting! It really blows me away and I'm so happy to belong to such a great group of artists! Finally, it's YOU who's inspiring me! So....Stop reading and go on creating breathtaking art!

Again....WOW!.....Thanks a lot, I have no words. Hugs to all of you out there!

Take care
Tanja

Hey folks,

A little thank you for visiting my page! I hope you enjoy my art and get inspired from it! I will try to work on some new pieces, but there's also real life, as you know

I also would like to say that I'm sorry for my "fav & run". When I fav your work, you can be sure that I feel very inspired by it and love it. There's no need to say more for me, a fav says it all

Thanks for reading & viewing!

Take care
Tanja

Huhu,

nach einem schönen Urlaub bin ich nun wieder da und werde auch wieder ein paar Frktale erstellen. Wer an Apophysis oder Ultra Fraktal interessiert ist, aber nicht so gut englisch kann, ist in meinem deutschen Forum gerne Willkommen!

Hier der Link dazu:

Im Forum gibt es auch 3D und andere Themenbereiche udn ich helfe gerne bei Fragen und Problemem weiter. Nur keine Angst, jeder hat mal angefangen, wenn ich da an meine ersten Arbeiten denke....uiuiuiui....

Liebe Grüsse
Tanja

I'm quite busy at the moment, but I like to create a Apo flame pack for you. I just have to see through all my files to see what I can use

Thanks for all the comments and favs, I'm glad you like my work

Hey folks,

I have a surprise for my german watchers: Some days ago, I started my own art forum about fractals, photomanips, 3D and digital painting. If you have difficulties with english and like to get german tutorials and help in different things,this is the place to register!

I look forward to see you there!

What else is there to say....
Well, hopefully soon, I start my next class at visual arts academy about masking in UF. I took the first class two(!!!) years ago, and since then had no time to go on with the next one. I'm so much looking forward to it!

As soon as I have good results, I will post them here

In the meantime I'm fiddling with Apo!

Hey folks!

I created my own website on jimdo.com. If you like to visit, check out: www.carnie.jimdo.com. I'd be happy if you leave a comment in the guestbook.

Thanks a lot for your support!

Hi everybody,

sorry that I'm slow with posting new stuff, I recently left germany and moved to Stavanger, Norway. My PC is not up yet so I have to wait and cannot say for sure when I'm able to work again.

Thanks to all recent watchers, you're welcome!

Take care
Tanja

Thanks dA for the new great style of the galleries. You ROCK!
