It's been me.

There isn't a special place where you go to learn to create fractal pictures (nor a when or how either). I learnt it by downloading a fractal generator, and playing with it, selecting options at random until I learned what each feature was responsible of. The first generator I tried was Iterations, by Stephen C. Ferguson. From then on, I've kept learning every day by trying new things as well as different software. It's kind of addictive sometimes. As of now, the fractal generator I still use the most is Tiera-Zon (also from Ferguson).

In terms of inspiration... well, I don't know. Mostly, it's what my mind visualizes while I change parameters and colors. Sometimes, it's influenced by the music I may be listening to while working on the picture. It's too many things to point out (and I think I'm not even conscious of half of them).

I've tried all the generators listed in the Software section [go], only a handful of which I still use regularly or from time to time. The ones I'm currently using the most are Fractal Explorer, Fractal Forge, Tiera-Zon and Sterling-ware. Visit the Software section for more information [go].

Actually, no. PS is too expensive for my budget, and if I ever get that much money to spare on such a thing, I would surely prefer to invest it in something else. It's a great application —possibly the best of its kind, as I have heard—, but I'm not a millionaire. By the way, any donation will be generously accepted.

I do all my non-fractal graphic work in Paint Shop Pro or The GIMP. They are pretty good and significantly cheaper (the GIMP is free).

Just go home (if you're not there already), connect to the Internet (if you're reading this, you must be online already too), visit a downloading site (again, visit the Software section [go]), and pick up any of the generators in there. Start playing with it, and see what happens. Then keep playing with the menu options and the like. You'll see it's something easy to pick up.

A computer, a fractal generator, patience, time, and more patience. Extra artistic abilities, creativity and a special love for abstract representations should be of help too.

I haven't stop doing high resolution pictures. Now, I'm even offering 1600x1200 wallpapers. I just thought the 640x480 resolution is enough for online display (in this site's galleries). Actually, newer images are around 800x600.

What kind of site/program do you have? It depends on your/its purpose. So please, ask me first. DON'T publish them anywhere without asking me (Hello!, let's be down-to-earth: at least let me know that you plan to use it. I know most of you use it first, and later —if by chance— ask for permission).

If the program you're talking about is a wallpaper changer or some similar utility for your personal use (not for distribution), it's OK. If you plan to distribute it,you must ask me [read copyright info].

So far, there are several web sites using some of my images for decorative or display purposes. There's even an online drawing tool named after one of my pictures (Phoebia from Vovoid Software & Multimedia at http://phoebia.products.vovoid.com/ ).

It depends on your and your site's purpose, but I will probably say no. Do you offer your wallpapers for free? That will be on your favor. Anyway, wouldn't it be better if you direct your visitors to my own site?

Most of my fractal pictures aren't suitable to be used as wallpaper. They're frequently too detailed or shockingly colored, and that can cause eye strain. Those that are usable as wallpaper (the ones located at the Wallpaper Division [go]) are already offered from this site, Deviant Art (US) and Wallpaper.cz (Czech Republic). Is there any need for a fourth one? Anyway, just ask me.

Just answer the following question: Do you think it's worth it? If your answer is YES, go ahead. Otherwise... yes.

Again, is it worth it? Is your site good enough? Send me your url. I will visit it and see what's in there. If I like it, or if there's something worth sharing with the rest of the world (tutorials, tips and techniques, free software, news, interesting discussions, an interesting design, etc.), I'll probably do.
