It is strange to see how people change, how mentalities change. Up until recently all i wanted to do was to explore the possibilities that one or another fractal program could offer. Strange as it may seem i carried more about being program specific than genre specific. The final image, for the people to see, wasn't suppose to include even a single layer made in a different program, or that resulted image simply wasn't good enough. Yet, all this is rather in vain because the idea of your creations and of this site all together is
art.
90% or more of the people seeing your works don't know much or haven't even heard of fractals and they don't care that you had such a hard time creating that image using only one fractal program, instead of saving 30% of that time using photoshop/paint shop pro/etc.
For this reason i use to enjoy so much the works of
DigitalSmear or
swinck (who succesfully combine fractal renders and even use other elements) and i'm writing this because there are still so many people thinking like this. Fractal art is great in itself and it also offers you a base to create something unique.
