Fractured Portal
This image is made from a fractal that I made a while ago, but I never got around to doing much with it until now. I think I was thinking of using it as a Christmas image, but since I got around to it now, I hope I was able to get rid of most of the Christmas colors from it. I did use some effects that I haven't used in a long time, and others that I have rarely used at all, except maybe my first images since I was experimenting. Anyway, here is Fractured Portal. Some of the first effects I used was Twist, which I haven't used since I started using PDN since it looked tacky. I used it in a good sort of way this time to make it kind of look like a tunnel, then duplicated it and rotated it a bit. I then used Polar Inversion, Tile Reflection, and Radial Blur to add some color and texture to the outside of the "portal" and just to help the image out a bit. I finished with another inverse Polar Inversion to make a sort of circle around the middle, and then used Reflect to
