Pagan Sanctuary : Do Not Tresspass !

If you believe to know already the Truth , or even to have God on your side don't dare to fget close to the Keepers of the Pagan Caves of Lysergica

only who may offers his doubts and fragilities, his sorrow and errors will receive a warm welcome and a chance to be Initiated to the Mystery.

but no hope for the others , for theignorants pretending to teach :
if they will try to force their way in their rest will be used as fertilizer

Mandelburb 3D for the BG,
renders from deviantart (sure i will add the credits and links they really deserve..)
BG and renders merged in gimp (using my gmic filters)

Thank Molly
i believe the idea of combine M3D and gimp in a commune work-flow is starting to give good results,... also merit of that amazing render from DA (now i must trace the links...not to hard because are in my fav the only problem is that my fav are a few hundreds..)

BTW i love your new sig the penguin with the umbrella is really cute!

Wonderful blending of the characters with the fractal PC. Enjoyed viewing your render.

@ L
thank for the comment,
@jordan
glad you liked as now on Da i just get 1 fav and no comment at all

I was thinking to post also in the Fractalforums but there is even harder get feedback and maybe most there are too serious to appreciate my hybrid fractal

but i love the idea to use 3d fractals to create scenery,( i just need to learn how to create 3d characters but also 2d render are fine for illustrations or anywat"still" images, the problem would be for sequences, as comix or animation, in that case 3d characters would be the best..

my last

Scarecrow dance in the Hieronymus Caves

scaled down for GC and the fractalforums the original is 4800x3200 but planned to be scaled at least of 50%
(my trick for 3d fractal: render very large , at least the double of desired size and save as png
then apply 1px max 1.70 of gaussian blur and scale down and convert to jpg
(well to be honest often i skip that last step "convert in jpg" but the Riot "save for the web " plugin allow a perfect control of jpg quality )
"

i hope you see the dancing scarecrow even if is very little

hehe, I do see him dancing. I think using these M3-D's as backgrounds make really cool graphics.

yes and again M3D fractal are in 3d so is possible adjust the horizon line, come closer or farthest change prospective...

and insert human or even vaguely human characters give a different sensation about the proportion..

sneaking in the creatures makes the pic so different, so 'real'. What I mean is, it's not just a 3D fractal in all it's beauty, it becomes a fantasy world that might be real!

PhotoComix · **Joined:** Apr 12, 2010 **Posts:** 5870

yes that was exactly my idea !

Really awesome stuff PC. :kpix

fresh from my PC not yet on DA...(and resized for GC...a 4800x3200 24MB png is excellent for quality print but would be a killer for the forum bandwidth and would take ages to load... :mrgreen:

A lot of incredible work here. I expressed my adoration for the Pagan Sanctuary on Fractal Forums, but it seems you've got a load more up your sleeve.

PhotoComix · **Joined:** Apr 12, 2010 **Posts:** 5870

Wow that is very cool PC. That could almost be made into an owl, just put in the other eye.
