This began as a random Apophysis batch rendering with the ''disk'' variation, before adding the "blur" transform, followed by a "Final Transform'' which used a bit of the 'linear', 'diamond' and 'perspective' variations. I layered up 3 of the flames in Photoshop to increase the density a bit and added a neutral radial gradient to simulate a spotlight shining down on the ''marble'' and a suitable reflection and shadowing to simulate the 'roundness' of the 'marble'. Also added was the signature and a layer to give the illusion of the 'marble' resting on a desktop. View at full size to see the Fractal details at their best!
