L'Amour C'est Bleu

This Apophysis 2.05 Z-plus Beta2 rendering began as a heart batch of flames. This was followed by additional tweaking in the ''edit window'' using a combination of the methods used to create the "tubes" and ''marbles'' fractal flames, though the 2nd transform wasn't flattened in this case. A bit of the rotation brought the internal patterns into a sharper resolution, as well as a bit of tweaking of the gradient. Photoshop was used to layer the *.png image over a dark blue background which included a radial gradient which lightened the color a bit along the edges while darkening the background. The framing and signature were also added in Photoshop.

EDIT: I selected the heart area of the original piece, "Love is Blue" [link], and created a new layer in Photoshop to which I added 'style palette' features....a red color overlay and emboss/bevelling which gives it the gemstone like look of an inlay to the sphere.

This is of a size suitable for use as a wallpaper, too.

View at full size to see the Fractal details at their best!
