So, a careful check of FurAffinity's AUP indicates that fractal art is not in violation, so I've decided to post pre-renders here. Mostly. Some old stuff too, but mostly pre-renders. Now, I don' know what it means for other people, but for me, a pre-render is intended to an idea of what a fractal will look like as a high-quality, full size 2500x+ render.

I'm taking this as a challenge. I'm going to try to use exclusively artwork for the gradients for the fractals I upload here. Part of this is because I've actually already been doing this for awhile, and have produced some very nice artwork, and part of it is because I can.

Oh, and for the record, using an image for a gradient just means that I need to have the image on my hdd. Apophysis, the program I use for making fractals, will take the colors from a jpg image and create a gradient, which I can then use for fractals, as well as, well...fiddle with. I can adjust the hue, saturation, brightness, and contrast, as well as blurring the gradient to smooth the clear delineations between colors. As a result, even the blandest gradient can be altered slightly to produce clear, brilliant colors.

In my mind, it's not cheating. I started with a Ru pic, dammit.

Also, I don't think there's technically anything wrong with this. In theory I could construct the gradients manually, or acquire gradients online, for Apo, with the same or similar colors.
