Ataraxia

From Wikipedia: "Ataraxia (Ἀταραξία "tranquility") is a Greek term used by Pyrrho and Epicurus for a lucid state, characterized by freedom from worry or any other preoccupation."

I liked this fractal so much that I made two versions of it. It's a very simple one, just a few layers of BarnsleyJ DeLuxe (ea.ufm) formula coloured with Thingamajigs (tma.ucl). Enjoy! :)

More flowers! I've been trying to make something for the June Ultra Fractal Challenge on DeviantArt, but every time I open UF I end up making something completely different. The challenge is to make a fractal using only formulas from obsolete.ufm and colouring algorithms from obsolete.ucl, which doesn't really sound that complicated. And it isn't complicated at all, I just always feel like putting my own spin on things and use different formulas and algorithms. This is also one of the main reasons why I don't like to use tutorials; I always change everything and end up with something completely different than what the tutorial shows. I guess I just don't like being told what to do.

Anyway, this is a IFS-Barnsley (M-set) (sam.ufm) fractal coloured with Doodads II and Thin Orbit Traps II (tma.ufm). I used Lake mapping on one of the layers.

My exam in Modern European History 1848-1918 is tomorrow. At 9 o'clock on a Saturday morning! I honestly have no idea how it'll go, one part of me feels pretty confident because I've been reading a lot, and another part of me is absolutely terrified because I don't know if I'll remember anything tomorrow. I've spent most of the day listening to lecture recordings and going through my notes, and even though my brain still feels empty and useless, I figured it was time to stop when the clock came close to 9 pm. In an attempt to relax and take my mind off the exam, I opened Ultra Fractal and decided to make another flower fractal (surprise!). 

This is a KPK CTT (kpk.ufm) fractal coloured with Thingamajigs II (tma.ucl). I'm really happy with it to be honest ^^

Here's a little something I made last night.. Figured I would post it now before I bury myself in 19th century Germany, the Russian Revolutions and the Habsburg Empire. I've been surprisingly efficient today, it's only 12:50 and I've already had breakfast, read half a chapter about Bismarck and Germany and walked to the university in pretty crappy weather carrying 8 very heavy books. Usually I'm barely concious at this time of the day, but recently I've been getting up earlier and earlier. Maybe it's something in the water that's messing with my internal alarm clock. Or maybe the excessive amounts of coffee I have consumed recently have something to do with.

Anyway, this is a KPK Barnsky Pro (kpk.ufm) fractal coloured with Thingamajigs II (tma.ucl). Enjoy! :)

Lost For Words

Here's a fractal I made last night, using KPK Barninsky (kpk.ufm) formula and Thingamajigs II (tma.ucl) for colouring. Enjoy! :)

Just For Now

I have an exam in 'Modern European History - 1884-1917' next Saturday and I've spent the entire day reading about the industrial revolution and economic changes in Europe from 1850 to 1917. As I started to become increasingly tired and distracted,I figured it was time to put my books away and do something fun. I opened Ultra Fractal with the intentions of making something flowery and after about 30-40 minutes of meddling, I ended up with this lovely little fractal. I used KPK Treebarney (kpk.ufm) formula and coloured it with Thingamajigs II (tma.ucl). Enjoy! :)

Floral Dreams

Another quickie fractal, the first one in a few days.. I haven't felt like making any fractals, I've tried to focus on studying and finishing my essays. Not that I've actually gotten that much work done, I have a tendency to end up watching movies or playing Secret of the Stars instead. Oh well, at least I'm trying =P Just one more week now and then it's mid-semester break! An entire week off! Not that it makes that much of a difference though,  I'm only at the university three days a week anyway. Hopefully I'll manage to finish two of my essays during the break and start on the last one. Would be nice to be able to focus on studying for my exams. But, enough school-stuff for today.
This is a Round Julia formula(mtc.ufm) with Thingamajigs II(tma.ucl) and Hypocycloid Trap(jam.ucl) colouring.

Any Colour You Like

This is my most recent fractal, "Any Colour You Like", made on December 25th. I'm not entirely happy with it, but I do like that it's not my usual style. I also like the colours and textures. I've had so much fun with the Cellular Automata colouring algorithms in mjw.ucl, they are really awesome as textures.
My boyfriend also helped me out a lot with this one, telling me his opinions about the colours and flowers etc. All in all it's a decent fractal and I kind of like it :)
