Heya All 
Welcome to the second edition of "Blast from the Past" - this is an idea I have borrowed from Jessica FarDareisMai and I would love for this idea to grow.
If I could make a little tag game - I would ask few other artists, who where active way back or even way way back and still have enough creativity & inspiration to make fractals to this day.
Show me, who was your inspiration, who did you fave, add to your devwatch - you will be surprised, how many of us admired the same artists or artworks, we send endless comments, keep going back to some of the designs and try to figure out how were they done :lmao: (I did that in Apophysis and in UltraFractal, hours of "breaking" the softwares in order to test things out).

While I was searching for artists and their works - what really occurred to me is, the older versions of the softwares we are using today seemed to be less complex, less developed, didn't have endless libraries of functions, formulas, in Apo limited, smaller number of plugins and yet all those designs sprung by sheer imagination and skills of the artists.
Whatever you can imagine and put your mind to it - YOU CAN DO !! simply comes to mind.  Knowing the program helps, but being adventurous and dreaming up things, might be even better.
The skills will come, when you explore and do the unthinkable, sure you will crash the program (sometimes), for sure you will end-up with some unsightly designs (and nobody will see that) - but out of 10 ugly ducklings, if you get one swan it will be worth it :nod:

Wow !!! I almost fainted, my recent submission was accepted !  This is more or less a joke for my failed attempts in the past.  I thought it was more or less within the accepted parameters to submit here, but had some doubts.
Anyway one of my "qualities" is perseverance ! :D
:iconthankyou1::iconthankyou2: to the one responsible for accepting it. :heart:

I'm so very sorry. I edited the initial FRACTAL MANIPULATION CONTEST journal in my stash which for some reason wasn't working right! It couldn't possibly had been the writer.......lol

Here's the correct link [link]

I will update my comments to the other groups as well!

I hope you'll participate and help spread the word!

Many Hugs! ~Kitty!!

So ... seems I blew it once more ! Got another rejection. Probably the quality wasn't so good ?
I do read the rules. Would help a lot if you let one know the main reason for rejection though :(

Oh, yes, I am sorry about that. We are all pretty swamped with work/School, so we are focusing on just getting things out of the group inbox for now. If you could link the pieces, I will be glad to tell why they got rejected.

Sorry was partly my fault, didn't notice that symmetry is not accepted and that submission was symmetrical and probably low quality too, so ... as they say my bad.
But got some good explanations already. Hope to (someday) come up with something truly abstract :D and sorry for the semi-whinny comment :ashamed:
Good luck with school work :hug:s
