Description

The original name was French, but I kept thinking it was wrong, so I just put it in English. Anyway, to protect from theft, most of my Watchers know that I have only been posting fractals at 800pix wide. Now that deviantART has finally finished that long-awaited update, I can post the full fractals - for points. I will explain the specifics in a Journal later.

Also, this is the slightly more detailed, yet more rigid twin of "Electric":

I really prefer Electric to this piece. The main differences I notice between the two are symmetry, definition, and color palette. Electric transitions from three to nine-fold symmetry, while this piece starts from six and goes to twelve. While three-fold symmetry is thought provoking, as it is a prime symmetry which is reasonable difficult to divide objects into, six-fold symmetry is seen more often. Therefore, when you take a three-fold symmetry and divide it into three again, this is considerably more interesting than taking the fairly pedestrian sixfold symmetry and dividing it into two (everyone knows how to divide things in two, and has seen it done countless times). The definition between the different components of Electric is also better than between the components of this piece. For the symmetries and components of the piece to be evident, you should avoid unnecessary components, and use blurring and interference between components only when it is artistically called for. Finally, I am not a great fan of the color scheme, and am unsure what the rationale for red and blue was. I much prefer the yellow and blue of Electric, but believe that you might get even more out of your pieces by using three or more colors.
