I prefer this one over version two. My reasons stem from the focus is drawn to the middle in this one. It almost looks like four paths to a central dais of some vast and construct or place of meeting. Merely my interpretation though. What do you see when you make these, or is it the abstractness its self that you enjoy?

oh how i wish i could show people what i see when i make these X3 everything to me, is feelings, everything. how a song sounds effects me differently, what things look like, how things feel, all makes me feel a different way. and from those feelings, i distill my artwork
this one was 2-1 *dubstep remix X3* and from it, i felt a central point with parts dancing around it, and from that, came this
its a great deel deeper and more complex than that, but thats the basic point of it, ya know?

To claim I know what you mean with any accuracy would be a pretence to knowledge no one can have. Still, I've certainly had experiences which I could attempt to attribute a similar description. Although, that said, I've likely not explored in the same depth with an outlet like you have.

One other question I have for you, how do you go about creating these pieces?

as i said, using my knowledge of apophysis and how each variation effects the whole, i make a graphic representation as best i can of how i'm feeling

I like them both, but of the two, this one is my favorite.

honestly i like em both the same XD they both have bits i like

I'd say of the 2 versions of this fractal I prefer this pic ((with the white rotary spiral))

i'm glad you like ^w^
