Rainbow Parakeet

    

Created in Ultra Fractal 5.04 © 2015


I rendered this at 3000 x 3429 Pixels. The aim was to try and reproduce something that looked like a watercolour painting; most of the render has come out ok, but there are one or two areas I'm not too happy with.

This detail from the unresized render shows a linear flaw, possibly due to a computer crash through over-heating halfway through, and an area where the colours are quite ugly with some sharp circular lines visible.

Resized down for web viewing it's probably ok, but for printing it would be no good, more work needed!

 

I took inspiration from from some of my favourite artists on DA for this work:

UF Sketchbook: Getting Impatient!
For a long time I have been trying to make some colours and textures that mimic watercolours and other types of paint, inspired by some of favourite artists on DA, such as NaismithArt  Lucky978  kosharik69 SaigaTokihito and takmaj (see selection of their work below).
Finally I have something I feel quite happy about, so long as the render turns out okay - but for some reason this fractal is taking forever to render and I'm getting very impatient!  
I have developed a rainbow gradient pack which I'll upload when I can post the rendered image, but the above is a taster in the mean time
