Just a simple 1hr and 1/2 (render time) fractal flame I was messing with.
Apophysis 7x
Really old drawing I did and touched up in photoshop, it was so faded and trashed, it took a good amount of time to restore it back to a decent level.
This is of course, Carnage, from the Spider-Man comics. One of my favourite Marvel characters.
Edit: Slight update, adjusted light/dark shades to make hand stand out better.
The Omnicosmic Place, beyond time and space, beheld our creators face, annhilated - no trace
Yes, same color scheme last Oct... not the greatest, but deal with it.

A flowing and glowing spiral, of debris that's free and pyral.
Forever around, with hardly a sound, except the harmony of revival.

Was too tired at first to describe this, but basically, this "trail" is a close-up of one of those small orange rings you see underneath in the distance.
Haven't used Tierazon for some time, was digging around on my old apps partition and decided to play with it again, this is one of serveral things i came up with.
Reflections on life when faced with The End. The end of love, war, and peace. The end of everything.
Traverse to a 'verse where dimensional warps are plentiful, and the worlds are countless.
4 hours render time, give or take serveral minutes, for the "Warp" in the foreground there. The ground surface was done in Photoshop with a texture, filters, and brushing. Inserting the deep space image was the easy part.
Give your honest thoughts and impressions.

Full-view, please, otherwise you won't see crap.
Thy beheld the turning and the rotting of the leaves
And with this sign reaps the final harvest of Samhain
For the Dark Moon is upon us to bathe the Earth in shadow
The Eve lurks with creatures of darkest night
May the sightless slay and sever the heads of its gravest enemies
May all souls find safe passage through the Portal of the Dead.
Apophysis 2.03a : A variant on a flame I was working with in the Editor.
Full-view for greatest clearity.
This is based off of the Autumn Tempest flame file. Our October bonfires will blaze as brightly as this, if not brighter.
A bevy of exotic materials teetering on the edge of reality. Both existing and not-existing simultaneously on the outer edge of the Universes in the boundless expanse of Hyperspace.
Just something I was messing with in Apophysis 2.02f
Just something I was fooling with in Apophysis. Could have come up with a more creative name, but I got tired of working on it...
Something I wrote to my love, * KutieAngel for Valentines.
Edit: Decided to size down the space image (taken with Hubble) as I realized some time ago it was too big but left it anyway. Much better.
Apophysis .flame I had sitting around for a while. Decided to render it out and see if it was any good.
Well?
Built this fractal with the Editor in Apophysis 2.02, had about 13 transforms I think. Took around 1:30 - 2 hours just sitting there playing with the triangles and variations. It's how I do all my flame work now. I still have fun altering the options then doing random batches to see what I get, but I often take the one that stands out the most for me and then take it to the Editor and pretty much end up transforming it into a whole other symmetry anyhow. Though, if I find something 'unique' that I like in a batch I may make only slight edits.
Let me know what you fellow fractalists or people just passing thru think.
Make sure to Full-View.
Just a radom flame, nothing special.. except that I rendered this with Apophysis on Linux with WINE. - I find that pretty neat within itself.
Every morning I have been looking at CNN to see if there is any reason for hope. I see a few large and impressive peace protests here and there around the world, but mostly I see empty robot faces monotonously reciting the magic incantations, “We must support the President” and “We must support our troops”. both of which mean the killing must continue.

A wise man can learn more from a foolish question than a fool can learn from a wise answer.
My soul is from elsewhere, I’m sure of that, and I intend to end up there.
A new bill that is being brought to parliament this week could allow police to read your emails, monitor your online activity and keep track of your movements via your cell phone.
Privacy advocates say that is the new Canadian reality if Bill C-51 is passed.
University student Jared Exner grew up in an Internet age and knows why police might want unfettered access to everyone’s online activities, but he still doesn’t think it’s right.
“I know the criminal justice system is constantly looking for information about criminals, child pornographers etc, but at the same time it seems like an invasion of everyone’s personal information,” said Exner.
If passed as is, Bill C-51 would require Internet service providers to keep logs of their client’s activity and turn them over to police without a warrant.
Computer security expert Tom Keenan maintains police already have the power they need they just aren’t using it.
“Why aren’t they doing that? it would be a heck of a lot easier to get the ISP to do it for them,” said Keenan.
The bill would also allow police to monitor cell phones and track your every move.
The bill won’t be introduced until later this week but already it is being called down in parliament.
“How can we trust them not to use private information to intimidate law abiding Canadians to protest a pipeline, or protest pension cuts,” said Francis Scarpaleggia, Liberal MP for Lac-Saint-Loius.
Only puny secrets need protection. Big discoveries are protected by public incredulity.
I have noticed that even people who claim everything is predetermined and that we can do nothing to change it, look before they cross the road.
You have the sight now Neo, you are looking at the world without time.
I have realized that the past and future are real illusions, that they exist in the present, which is what there is and all there is.
Our senses enable us to perceive only a minute portion of the outside world.

You move to an area, and you multiply, and multiply, until every natural resource is consumed. The only way you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. A virus. Human beings are a disease, a cancer of this planet, you are a plague.
Justice Party Presidential Candidate Rocky Anderson has joined two U.S. Senators in calling on the U.S. Justice Department and the Obama Administration to disclose classified legal opinions which deal with the killing of American citizens.
“Our government is saying it has the right to kill Americans whom it believes are part of a terrorist organization, but it refuses to disclose to Congress the legal opinion that justifies these actions,” says Anderson. “The killing of U.S. citizens as a part of an official assassination campaign is unprecedented in U.S. History,” notes Anderson. “There are no charges filed; no trial, no due process whatsoever. This is a subversion of the U.S. Constitution and absolutely un-American.”
Senator Ron Wyden from Oregon and Senator Patrick Leahy, Chairman of the Judiciary Committee, have both expressed their concerns to Attorney General Eric Holder. Anderson agrees,
“I thank Senators Wyden and Leahy for their patriotism. The Bush Administration displayed no regard for international law. It broke treaties and it undermined the rule of law. Many of us thought an Obama Presidency would restore our inherent respect for liberty and justice. We were wrong. This administration has created secret legal opinions allowing the killing of American citizens and it refuses to share those opinions with Americans. This latest example of the imperial presidency should outrage all who value our constitution and our nation’s most noble traditions.”
Anderson questions where the Administration is going with this kind of thinking.
“The Bill of Rights says that no American shall ‘be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law.’ Many current elected officials have little regard for due process. The NDAA provisions allowing for indefinite detention are subversive to our form of government. We must act in every way to protect the rule of law. Due process is one of the most important features of a free society. All true patriots should demand accountability and compliance with our Constitution.”
Rocky Anderson is the former Mayor of Salt Lake City, the founder of High Road for Human Rights, and current Justice Party nominee for President of the United States.
