This art is in response to @brittandjosie's Christmas Ornaments Contest, which you can find HERE!
I am one of Hive's resident fractal artists, and making everyday shapes and things is among the lines of art I pursue through fractal geometry -- 3D ball shapes are something I enjoy but are a rare challenge for me, so I was glad to see this contest come along!
This ball is dedicated to @brittandjosie herself, for creating this lovely opportunity for cheery seasonal art for all of us!
About how this was made ... @brittandjosie provided a form for the bulb, which you will also find on the official contest post ...
Then we add this, made in Apophysis 2.09 ...
Without getting overly technical, what Apophysis 2.09 did was to fractally wrap the light in the fractal flame figure around in a circle to the point that it moved into the trump l'oeil 3D-ish sphere. Here we have the light and color of a star, wrapped into a ball -- two Christmas figures, met in one! Had to change the hook and the background to make it come out, but here it is!
This was a challenge, however, because it is RARE for a fractal shape to take a perfect circle AND WRAP into 3D-ish in Apophysis 2.09. But see, I LIKE a new art challenge ... so I will be back with more Hive Balls!
Wow wow wow a hive ball star is born
I love it you got my full vote thank you and now flood the hivesfere with this beauty
Glad you enjoyed it ... I have some other people and communities to recognize and some other people I'm going to use a Hive Ball to invite, so, expect more balls as I have time this long weekend!
