Description this is a collaboration between and myself. She made the fractal: :thumb174995908: and I vectored it. It's more or less what I saw in it as I was vectoring, actually.

Anyways, this is 100% vector - five colors (thought the greenish color is barely used, so it's almost four colors). It's almost completely done with the pen tool, with a gradient mesh background to add a bit of extra color. Created in Illustrator CS4.

This is beautiful! I love the monochromatic scheme... Plus, purple is one of my favorite colors. Wonderful work!

you need to either recommend a solid tutorial or teach me yourself how to do something like this

I would love to do a collab with you. I was looking through your gallery the other day thinking just that. I'd be happy to show you how to vector if you want to do a collab.

this is awesome.
I have a similiar idea like this in my mind, but i not done it yet (lazy me ). I want to project some of my fractals to the canvas and redrawn it with oil or water color.
btw, do you want to "collab" with me? take a look at my gallery if there's any piece you interested in. I'd be happy to see a your vector interepretation of my fractal

Helen-Baq In reply to guagapunyaimel [2010-09-09 07:22:46 +0000 UTC]

Well, you know I said yes!

Have you been working on the fractal?

And, thank you!

Wow. This is just incredible. I love it is easy to tell that it is a collab, and yet, your take on it is FAR more than just a copy: a unique interpretation that brings out different details and ideas than the original.

Just... mindblowing.
