Apophysis Challenge #24

We're almost to challenge #26, which is very special...because it will mark the 6th month of Apophysis challenges! Can you believe, we've been challenging our minds and Apo skills now for almost six months straight? That being said, if you have any ideas for a special Apophysis Challenge, please send me a note. Now, to business:  



took off early this past week with a number of votes, and never looked back.
Congratulations to Prelkia as our winner of the Gnarl Challenge!

His gallery houses many gems, here are just a select few.





Voting is simple, and everyone is asked to give your say.
After you have reviewed the entries: choose one that you think held true and exemplified the particular challenge best. Send me a note with that artists name and a link to their fractal. One vote per person, per challenge. Voting stops with the next challenge deadline.

1.) Follow the challenge guidelines.
2.) Entries must be posted here in this journal, before deadline.
3.) Only one entry per artist.
4.) Keep postwork to a minimum (small adjustments/tweaks, watermarks)
5.) Parameters must be made available upon request.
6.) Parameters need to be posted in your entries comments, or in a comment underneath, not on the journal page.
7.) Have fun!!!

For this week's challenge, we're taking a trip to the past, to a style that I absolutely love: Plastic!!! Yes, challenge #24 is plastic fractals. Of course, we're not just going to make plain old plastic fractals: our goal is AWESOME PLASTIC FRACTALS! Push the limits of this style. Experiment with different blurs, or don't use a blur at all. Xaos could prove to be most useful in expanding this style. Put your own personal style into it. There are several different methods to create plastic fractals, and if you're familiar with them, feel free to use them; or even develop your own method if you're feeling adventurous. Here is a tutorial to give you the basics:

• # Transforms Allowed: Maximum 5
• Final Transform: Allowed, Any Variation
• Variations Allowed: Any

Deadline: Sunday, April 18th 11:59pm (EST)

I want to thank everyone for your continued support. If there's anything I can do to make these challenges better/more fun/more educational/etc... please do not hesitate to send me a note and your thoughts!
Have fun with this one!
