Whew...! This was one heckuva job. The original fractal was actually... well, it's complicated, LOL. start > Satin background; 30 mins later > milky way; a few zooms later, the beginnings of a sun... with stars in the background? Awesome! So I played around with it for about 40 more minutes, used the original satin background as an overlay, changed the gradient and got the whole 'jets of fire' thing the sun has going on, then the tricky part. See, all my stars were yellow, XD. So about fifteen minutes later, I got lucky and figured out how to change them without changing the sun, and did a few finishing touches. This is probably the fractal I've worked on the longest, haha. And you can hardly tell it's a fractal, lmao! But it is... 100% ultra fractal.
