Apophysis Challenge #161

Welcome to a new week of the Apophysis challenge. I'm sure you'll enjoy the challenge for the week as well as reviewing and voting on the entries from this previous week.

It's with a sad heart that I am announcing that after next week's challenge (#162) I will be discontinuing the Apophysis Challenge series. Many things have changed over 3+ years and the challenge has served its purpose. I want to give a very special thank you to all those of you who have supported the challenge since its beginning. This never would have happened without you. Thank you too, to all those who have participated over the years. It's been quite an amazing run. I have a unique challenge in store for the last challenge of the series that will run next week. So stay tuned next week to participate in it!

Meanwhile, we still have this week's challenge to consider!

Our runner up in the Hyperbolic challenge is Fractalisa.



Congratulations on the win GraphicLia!

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 ends 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.) Focus on Apophysis, keep postwork to a minimum (small adjustments/tweaks, watermarks, no frames)
5.) Parameters need to be posted in your entries comments, or in a comment underneath, not on the journal page.
6.) Entries must be new works for the specific challenge and not previously designed or uploaded.
7.) Usage of dc_image plugin is not allowed unless expressly called for in the specific challenge guidelines.
8.) Have fun!!!


Spiral

A very unused variation (at least in my opinion & experience) is the spiral variation. This week's challenge is to incorporate spiral into a beautiful fractal. Make it the star.

• Minimum Transforms: 2
• Maximum Transforms: 8
• Allowed Variations: All
• Required Variations: Spiral (Make it apparent spiral was used, don't just go with =0.002)

The rules for this week's challenge are very simple and straightforward. Enjoy the challenge!

As always, have fun and stay thirsty my friends!
Deadline: Monday, December 17 11:59pm (EST)
