I've made it with my Flower Field Tutorial, so I guess I can share the params with you.
You'll need:
eSwirl

Have fun!

Looks like that eBay seller removed my fractal from his shop.
Let's celebrate!

Read this: [link]

Sooooooo, ~fanficbug pointed me out that there's a fractal of mine (After Rain) which is being sold by this seller on eBay.
At a HUGE price.

I think it's time to put a watermark.

...closes!

That is to say we won't be able to buy t-shirts, cases and plushies.
Thank God I've made it to buy a Fella plushie. (they also gave me a badge for it )

What do you think about this event?

LeGASP, I'm still alive.
Just a bit unactive.
I feel stressed under many aspects, but I'm confident this period will come to an end.

I actually don't want to write it on a journal, but you need a sort of explanation. I'm just tired.
Love!

FOR YOU dAmn USERS!
DAT BUNDLE IS OUT.


You'd better download and install it on your Firefox, just in case you'd like a moar awesome chat.
GO DOWNLOAD IT!

BELLA ZIO!

Hey there! How are you?
I hope to find you well!

Things are going nicely in this period. My laziness is still by my side, but I think I'm committing myself to what I'm doing a little bit more than before.
I decided to attend some lessons from the second year (I should be at my third year) again, to see if they can help me and give me a little bit more motivation.
And I believe it's kinda working.
But, whatever! I don't like talking about exams and stuff...I'm starting again with fractals too!
I lied, I made another flower... But I think I'll submit it to dA in some time. I need to focus on the fractals I still don't know anything about.
We'll see. I don't promise anything.

Last but not least...it's Easter time!
Eat as many chocolate eggs as you can!
You won't notice my absence that much, but I'll be in Rome from the 29th of March till the 1st of April. With my honey.
(yes, in the meantime I got involved with someone xD not with a honey jar D: )




Stay tuned!

Someone has been so kind he/she gifted me with a 3 month Premium Membership (my last one expired some days ago)!
I'm really happy! I don't know what I've done to deserve it (being absent during this period!), but I do appreciate it!
So, mysterious person, if you read this journal, I just want to say THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Hi guys!
I'm not very active lately, my inbox is exploding, I don't feel like doing anything and inspiration seems to be asleep.
Lessons should start very soon, so I'll be more free and I'll have more time to spend on dA and on fractals.

Hope you're all fine! Love you!

...WHAT'S WRONG WITH IT?

I uploaded my latest fractal with the new submission system and the full view resolution is fucked up.
Anyone has a clue?

Hello!
My journal is not dead. It's just that I don't feel like writing posts at the moment, I'm sorry!

I'd like to spend a few words on my latest tutorial, the Spherical Plants one. You can find it here:

Hell yeah, people, you're making me happy!
Since I've been making fractals, I posted two tutorials: the Flower Fields and the Spherical Plants (the Tweaking Guide doesn't count).
I love how people are reacting to second one, because the results I had the chance to see till now are really worth to see. It looks like almost nobody stopped at the very last step of the guide, but everyone continued on their way, making their fractal unique but leaving a trace of the tutorial's style inside.
So I want to thank you and show some fractals made with the Spherical Plants technique:





(I forgot one ._.)

Here's a brief video of the fractal display. Unfortunately, there have been some issues while shooting, so that the video is a bit short. But just to give you the idea!

Quote stolen from =f-ix.
Anyway...

I just stopped by to wish you a Happy New Year!
Spend it in the best way you can!

I'm going to make a speck and potatoes quiche. For my friends.

I'm not very talkative lately, but I'm on dA every day to check the latest news. Even if I don't reply, I read every feedback message you leave.

Lots of love Silvia

P.S: For trivia, three of my fractals will be displayed at the W33 / Lighthouse in Berlin this evening.

Hello! I hope your Saturday is going well!
It's been a long time since the last Fractaling feature, so let's make another one!

*thargor6's Impact


~tatasz's Broken Glass


*GraphicLia's Flight of Geese


~russianlad's 227- Autumn leaves


*PhoenixPhlox's fractal flower modified


*Laurent-Blanc's Tower

First!

The Muse Art Zine has reached the 7th issue! I'd like you to have a look at it! Here's the link:
MAZ Volume 7.
They really did a lot for me with the interview some time ago, so I'd like to help them spread their work!
Again, have a look!!!

Second:

Today I stumbled on the Encyclopedia Dramatica and...guess what?
There's a deviantART section. Like in Wikipedia, they have portals for various subjects.
Here's the link: [link]
They don't have exactly the sweetest words for devianART, but...I...I just...oh well.

Sort of things that make me angry.
I shouldn't check past events.
A bit of my faith in deviantART is already gone, so no, I shouldn't lose more, should I?

(Oh, and by the way, Fella doesn't cry anymore for those who deactivate their account. Is this a sign? Try these accounts: lolly, !meegja, !Treize-Orbscurarium)

Hello! It's been a long time since I made one of these. Stop laziness, here's a brand new entry for From Newest Deviations!



Stay tuned!

I'm feeling so much better!
Spent a great Saturday and going to spend another awesome one. (seems to at least )
And all my worries have gone for now, so let's enjoy this moment!

Anyway...next week I'll be without Internet and computer because I'm going on holiday with my parents.
This summer my mum underwent surgery due to a spondylolisthesis, she wasn't able to walk that much anymore. Now that she's fine, she'd like to go to London again.
Last time we went to London together, there were my grandparents too, so we were less free to visit the city. We visited many important places, but missed many as well.
Like Portobello Road. Oh, well, I've been to Portobello Road, but with my friends. (actually, this is the 4th time I go to London )

I want to go to King's Cross and take a photo on that platform. You know what I mean, don't you?
I'll be in London from the 27th to the 2nd of December! Can't wait to take the plane!

Oh, cool. I need to take some pain off my chest.

First:
That's a period I feel like doing anything at all. Other than chilling with my Playstation (I finished Tomba!, Crash Bandicoot 3 and CTR) and hanging out on Saturday evenings.
And yes, I discovered I enjoy solving differential equations to prepare myself for an exam.
Yesterday I opened Apophysis after a long time, so I did today. Nothing at all. Now even tweaking results difficult to me.
And when I read all those comments "Your work is amazing, it stands above everything, etc etc", I honestly feel guilty.
It doesn't! There are so many amazing fractals out there and so many artists that are certainly better than me, more skilled and they put more effort in creating something new than I do.
Well, I don't know. I really don't think I deserve as many nice words as I receive now. It may sound weird, you may think "She's writing this because she wants to hear more and more compliments", but that's not it.
Really, I feel embarassed when I receive compliments even in real life. Speaking of making fractals, when they ask me "But how the heck do you do them?! They're beautiful!", I feel embarassed to reply.
The best thing I came up with is "You move triangles randomly" (I have witnesses), I deserve to be hit with a shovel for this. There are fractal artists that are able to give you a perfect explanation of how the variations work and all I can say is YOU MOVE TRIANGLES RANDOMLY.
Let's move on, please.

Second:
I received two features of which I didn't know anything. About blooms.
All I can say is that after "The Flowers of Robert Maplethorpe" they'll make "The Flowers of Silvia Cordedda". I'm not even the first one who made them.
(don't get me wrong, I appreciate all this support still I don't think I deserve it that much )
Here you go, give a check if you like (Spanish and Italian):

Third:
"thanks"
"thank you"
"thank you!"
"thank you! "
Which form do you prefer?
Personally the last one, but I'm in favour of putting an emoticon everywhere, so I may be influenced by that.

See you!
Oh, and here you are a cute photo:
