Description 'Motes of soft, magical light flit lazily about on an autumnal breeze near to the trunk of an ancient tree which has seen a millenia of seasons come and go...'

I finally got that 'woven' texture right, I think. Anyhow, I felt like after my last piece (Alien Queen), I wanted something a bit quieter and mmm, restful? to work on. As well more in keeping with the autumn/winter season. So this is the result.

Thanks for viewing!

Rendered in Apophysis 2.04b. All other works, including border, lens flare, and text script done in Adobe CS-2.

Edited Note: I experimented with some lighting effects and decided that since this is meant to be a 'warm' piece, I liked this version better. It seemed to bring out the colours more? Also I felt it gave a more magical feel to it.

Thank you so much, Winter! I've seen alot of your work and I love the compass/navigational stuff that you do SO much! I haven't messed with any of that yet, but I'm sure given time, I'll get that good.

Thank you for your feedback on this piece. I hope you don't mind if I you?

Wow, thank you! It's really flattering to hear that. But I've been through your gallery and I think you have plenty of skills and talent; just keep going, you're well on your way! I've really benefitted from the awesome people in the fractal community here; even 4 months ago I'd never have dreamed I'd get this far. And if you figure out how to do julians, the compass stuff comes easy after that.

Thank you so much, Winter! Yes, the julian design eludes me now in favour of fun with textures, but I'll get to it eventually!

Wow that is AWESOME!

You did a marvelous job with the 3d look and feel, and it is aethetcally balanced. The glowing lights are a great touch! In this I imagine myself tiny - but 1 inch tall and exploring a house and seeing this huge cloth draped over the back of a chair. Excellent piece
