The Fractal Beginnings - Third time the charm !! (aka "sukySuk" fractals) After the first News article, the response of the community was overwhelming. From shock to amazement to pure laughter - upon finishing the reading and viewing the images. I do think it takes awhile for some points to sink-in, like being self-critical about your own work, developing sensibility to receive constructive critiques from your friends and other artists (those are still sensitive topics in the community).   I know exactly how it feels to be a 'noob' - enjoyment of creating something, even when it's random and accidental is like a 'drug' - you feel proud, t

Hey, how's going? YES, I'm still alive - the fractal 'gurus' spared my life and there was no angry mob chasing me with sharpened pitchforks (even doe...few people did fired up their bbq's and said I'll be tasting good roasted :lmao: ). After submitting the first part, I did consider having an escape plan :nod: ..just in case - I got hiding places picked out and scattered all over Europe ( Jimpan1973 (https://www.deviantart.com/jimpan1973) offered to hide me in his basement and this way I could safely submit second part of who 'sucked' the most).

You know once in awhile it's good to pay tribute to those who shined some light on you, to remember your art roots and how hard you worked to become more exquisite artist (I did work on my compositions sometimes thru many sleepless nights) ... not sure if I'm any better now artistically, but I do have to admit, spending more time with the fractal softwares gave me more versed

This feature is about starting to learn and it should promote a lot of laughter and amusement (at least I hope, unless I stepped-over some ego boundaries :lmao:).  In fractal 'world' we have a lot of names which are well known, established, the images from those 'masters' or 'wizards' leave us in awe and amazement. But did you ever wonder, how did they do, when they first opened their fractal program ...whatever it was apo or ultra fractal. Do you think Platinus (https://www.deviantart.com/platinus) made a 20 xform tile design when he opened his apo fisrt few times ;), I bet ya not :lmao: Do you think Jimpan1973 (https://www.deviantart.com/jimpan1973) masked out his shiny marble gems and applied intr
