17 hours rendering time in apophysis 3d, a special shout out goes to on this one for hooking me up with a apoph tutorial that taught me more about 3d values and Julian.
I've worked with fractals just a tiny bit, but I do have at least enough experience to have great appreciation for your efforts in creating this. (My own fractals are full of failure.) lol
I'm a huge fan of both the colors and textures you use here. The "background" has a great soft painterly quality thats uncommon in fractal art, which is great. You did really well with the reflections, the colors, I absolutely love the little yellow reflections on the 'strawberry part.
I would agree with another of the posters, that I don't percieve it as an infected strawberry. Exploding? Perhaps.
Like the comment before mine, I'll easily admit that I know very little about the process of making Fractal Art. I just enjoy looking at it and browsing through the gallery.
The first thing that sets this apart from the fractal art I'm used to seeing around the site is the soft scatter-quality about it. Rather than being distinct shapes building upon one another, this is more wind-swept, so to speak. Different, odd. Not a bad thing, I'm thinking. I like it.
The main critique I can offer (for lack of knowing the actual process that went into making this) is that I'm not sure if the title is really working for or with the image. Usually, I like the title to add something to my perception of the image - for me to go "Oh! I see it now. That's so cool!". Here, however, I squinted this way and that, and I can only see the "infected" part of the "infected strawberry" title. I don't really see this image as a strawberry. The only similarities in my mind is the color.
Maybe a red blueberry. Or a melting, rosy eyeball, or a droplet of water falling into a fogged up waste lake...
Of course, the final call is up to you, but thought I'd mention it. =]
Thank you for sharing this and good luck with your art!
