This art is in response to 's Christmas Ornaments Contest, which you can find HERE -- it runs through Dec. 24!
This first ball is jointly given to and
of the Alien Art Hive Community and NFT Showroom, along with
and the Color Challenge Community! The Alien Eye Ball HAS IT ALL!
is the Alien Overlord of the Alien Art Hive community, in which I found a first home as a fractal artist -- I actually encountered
's fractal art there, and that led me to Color Challenge. So, I thought I'd put out one ball to gift them all ... the otherworldly eye with all the colors, and a big INVITATIONAL SHOUTOUT for both Alien Art Hive and Color Challenge to get involved with
's Hive Ball Initiative!
is also the reason I am on NFTShowroom now as an artist, and, you'll find that the Alien Eye Ball's NFT analog is "The Pinkeye Marble,", available in one edition on NFT Showroom! It was more than a notion than to get that big, emanating thing -- steam tears and such -- into a ball, but it is available in its full form for you to view and purchase on NFT Showroom!
But, we're not done here -- my friend is also a fractal artist, and this gift here, fittingly, is the Swirling Emotions Ball!
All that's best of dark and bright ... a soul working its way through a time of darkness, wrestling with its own desires, good and bad... hence this ball goes to you, , a personal invitation ball to get on on the Hive Ball Action!
Both of these invitational balls were made using 's form ball, which you'll find on the contest main page --
Both figures were originally made in Apophysis 2.09 -- the Pinkeye Marble is a little older and was square in total (the problems with square pegs in round holes) -- and, the swirling emotions fractal just wasn't perfectly round, so that had to be wrestled into place on a dark background so that the golds, oranges, and reds would pop on out as they swirled!
It's November 28 -- you have until December 24 to get involved, and I'm inviting ALL OF YOU to spread the Hive Ball joy!
