Suggester's words: "For six long months I struggled to learn how to use Apophysis on my own till I discovered Julia Uncovered v.2.2 by `ClaireJones. Not only did it teach me to how to use the program, but it also inspired me to write my own series of tutorials. This tutorial is expansive, exceeding fifty pages, and lovingly made. Claire Jones went beyond what was needed and explained her methodology, and spent some serious time and thought putting this tutorial together. It’s absolutely lovely, and useful. It’s useful enough that the tutorial has had a permanent place on my computers for the past four years. Whenever I'm uninspired I return to this tutorial."

It's the first in a series of Fractal Resource Fridays!

The Forgotten Soldiers II by ~adenomay. This picture captivates me every time I see it. The tones and contrast are harsh, emphasizing the posing of the models'. The styling is imaginative, inspired by army uniforms and the whole concept really makes one think.

Game Nouveau by *konpeito-ko is beautiful homage to all gamers made with a perfectly executed nouveau style. Absolutely gorgeous, +1 up!

Suggested by ~MegDoll Featured by `Atramina
Bright Fairy Wing 1 by *Shadoweddancer has a great gradient, and the overlapping is at a minimum.

This deviants gallery is filled with incredibly detailed and lovely World of Warcraft cosplay costumes. The time and effort and love put in to them shows. This gorgeous capture is the Druid Tier 8, and I really wouldn't mind seeing their take on later sets - absolutely a gallery to check out if you like A) Costumes, B) World of Warcraft and C) Expressive and interesting settings, coupled with obvious skill in making the little details count.

Suggester says; It's amazing how the buildings seem to rise so suddenly out of the fog in this photo; the whole scene has a surreal feel to it, and the black and white tones add just a hint of a post-apocalyptic touch, eerie and mesmerising.
CityScape I by *Hengki24

Marble Persona Regis 2011 by ~MrSoles Another gorgeous creation from a master of the surreal, this cold cast marble beauty radiates coldness and icy perfection.

CATEGORY: Traditional Art/Oil: What a beautiful painting that would add elegance and appeal to any living room. The gallery is a must-see.
The suggester says of the traditional painting, "This is a traditional artist who really knows how to capture the detail of what he is trying to portray to us. I just think that what he paints is breath-taking, and I feel that he deserves more recognition for it."

An interesting, captivating, and interactive self portrait that looks to me like a still from a movie. Awesome and creative shot!

The suggester writes: Spilled Milk 2.0 by *beautyinreview is horrifying in its realization of a fear that we have all entertained, at one time or another, and yet eloquent and striking in its tone of mundanity, as well as in its language and imagery.

Suggested by =OritPetra Featured by `Halatia
Please make sure to check out part 1 and part 2 to see what's in the box!Suggester says: "World in a Box by ~grau-gestreift is a charming, visually interesting, and mysterious project containing so many quirky, fun, beautiful, and thought-provoking pictures. It really makes you curious about what's going on in the story, and what journey the character is embarking on! I personally love the recurring patch of blue that shows up in almost every picture."

BNT_wall by ~szc The lightning technique in this wallpainting is amazingly well done!

Suggested by !sweetychan Featured by `takethef
Dark Wood Circus by ~yuriko-shirou has a great attention to lighting and colour theory; the hair and skin really give off a dead feeling. The textures are very nice and I really enjoy this darker twist on a fandom that is known for being more upbeat.

Featured by ^Lyricanna
When a kid's named Van Helsing, something's gonna give. Van Homeschooled by ~BarbecuedIguana combines a visit from the FBI, a bit of vampire and a solid whodunnit to get a great short story.

I Want to be the Very Best by =arvalis

The suggester said: "When I first seen this Artwork I have to stare at it for a few minutes to see all the lovely details the artist put in. It has a wonferful composition and an awesome color setting, which make this piece really unique."

~clauds-d said: "This poster created by the artist is amazing! the colours, the detail. All this to show how it was influential in the artist's childhood. It is amazing where the artist's imagination went all because of pokémon"

*Rosella-of-Daventry said: "This piece of fan art is amazing beyond all belief. You need to spend a good few minutes observing it to appreciate all the details. Make sure to download the image and find all the Easter eggs--you won't regret it!"

~LiiaDragon7 said: "After watching the making of this picture by =arvalis in a livestream, I found it completed today and thought it desserved a DD! The detail they put into this nostalgic picture just made reliving the memories very enjoyable."

=TornAroundtheEdges said: "=arvalis is a very inspiring artist who can make anyone striving for greatness feel like it can be accomplished with passion and hard work. The amount of time and effort he puts into each piece is astounding and something to look up to. This piece in particular is both nostalgic and mind-blowing. Its great to think that he could imagine such colorful and vivid scenes in his head when he was just a child and has now reached a level of art skill that allows him to portray it correctly."

^StormPenguin says: This is exactly what Pokemon was like, a whole new world, and I still dream of it!

Suggester says;I recommend this astonishing manual by TsukinoHikari20. She spent over a year putting together several pages of how to tweak Apophysis fractals. It is one of the most extensive fractal resources I have ever seen. Deciphering Fractals Flames by ~TsukinoHikari20

Lab Rat by ~Zasalamell

The suggester says: "~Zasalamell is one of those artists who has that wonderfully enviable ability to create a perfectly coloured and lit picture using a comparatively small number of individually fast and rough strokes all in just the right place. The method is efficient and the result is stunning."

Suggested by ~Illogical-Lynx Featured by `Nyiana-Sama
Aquest Vespre nr.2 by ~Taelife. Our Suggester tells us: "Aquest Vespre is a wonderous new approach to typography, combining technique with an exquisite emotional sensitivity. A unique display of emotion with minimal, yet complex, typographic maturity."

Lotus Tiger by ~Beastysakura The Suggester said: "A creator of dreams, and a reflection of our inner most desires." A revolutionaire concept and a brilliant execution.

Suggested by ~Ballistyc Featured by `Atramina
"It's a truly marvelous piece of work, and not the only thing he has in his gallery that stands out - cold porcelain is not the friendliest clay out there and the sheer amount of hand-sculpted points of articulation on this is crazy! It's a wonderful photograph, too; really captures this doll." a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/252637892/">BJD Purple Dragon by ~vonBorowsky

Suggested by ~Jathara Featured by `KubusRubus
Calling The Maker by *toadz Suggester Statement: I really like this piece as it feels like you can literaly feel the ground shaking under foot as the worm circles around while the Frememn waiting to ride the beast waits patiently with their maker hooks, ready to leap into action and take thier place on the back of the worm. Plooms of sand and dust fill the air as the beast works it way through sands od Arakis.

The clever use of leading lines and depth of field really gets me in this one: Seeking Freedom by =rafaelll90

Little Monsters by ~Thats-SO-Photography

stair confusion by ~kraftseins is a great example of taking a unique approach in photographing staircases. The artist made great use of the lighting, the angle is very interesting, and the lack of color makes the details stand out brilliantly.

Dreamworld by =00AngelicDevil00 is a peaceful and deep scenery with captivating colors and mood. Suggester Statement: A flawless 3D landscape render with dreamlike atmosphere. Make sure to check out the rest of her gallery, she's work is really outstanding!

Impression by ~mandelbrat Suggester writes "A love-at-first-sight, fractal I couldn't help but suggest as soon as I saw it! With its vivid mercury blue tones soaked in reddish melting lava, this M3D work redefines the very concept of hot and cold in a furnace of beauty."
