"Amortvoir" | Gallery: Fine Art
But it actually started only as my experimenting with reflecting backgrounds in orbs in Mandelbulb 3D. The background I made ended up being too good to just lie forever lost in my experiments folder.
So this is now one of my favourites... So much so that I got it printed for myself, as an example to show people when the opportunity arises.

“Death pulls people from our spaces so often and we accept it as our final payment for having been here and having lived, however big or small. We don’t always have time to notice how things have changed in the absence of some of them. But then death pulls away someone we love, and we find that time. In here, we notice everything; growing grass and fingernails, and songs that end in a minor key. We are too sad to do anything else but watch a clock, applying seconds, minutes, and hours to the trauma and the lacerations. Time, the forever healer, they say. We find the time to wonder how everyone else is moving on, around our paralyzed selves. Ourselves unsure of roads and trees and birds and things. It all blurs and words aren’t words anymore. We find the time to attempt to figure a way to rethink everything we thought about this world and why we came to it.”
-- Darnell Lamont Walker
The Creation Process:
The only progress parameters I could find of "Amortvoir" was a file called "orb-refl-bg"... Somehow I got what you see in the final piece from this:
I then took the image and used it as a background pic in Mandelbulb 3D. I rendered up a quick example of the process below using a different image, just to give you an idea of the process...
I created 3 different orbs, not the same one copied/pasted. I then used Photoshop to position them. Photoshop was also necessary because the background image loses a lot of quality in Mandelbulb 3D.
How much of yourself, your emotions, do you put into your art? ... I find myself sometimes a bit frustrated with the way I do things because so much of my work comes at me from random mathematical chaos, instead of being pulled from me. I can guide it to a certain degree, but it isn't like painting, where your feelings can guide you 100%.

WOW! This is mesmerising, @mandelsage! I love the pink in the oribs and black lines. Seems like a swirl of emotions around love :)
You can usually see when I put emotion in my art. Sometimes I draw just for the heck of it but when I really FEEL something for the drawing, it shows in the output. I guess it's the same here. I can sense the feel in this. Beautiful work!
Thank you so much, @manouche ... <3 It's wonderful to hear someone is sensing my feelings in my work... As I say, it's not easy getting that, using the tools I do ;)
I followed you, will go through your blog later =) Gotta make lunch now, then a Skype appointment with my brother.
It really does come across through your work so hats of to you as an artist! Do you use only digital tools generally?
Thanks for the follow! Let me know what you think of the blog. Happy lunching and catching up with the brother :)
How did you create something so Beautiful when feeling angry and annoyed? I don’t see the anger and frustration in this art piece. It looks too pretty!! I love it.
=) =) .. Thank you! <3
To me, the black swirls and smoky bits almost looking like noxious fumes contrasted with the red orbs (which I imagined as blood-tinted) are full of anger... But I guess that's what art is... I see my own emotions reflected back at me while you see something different ^^
This is a wonder work @mandelsage. Thank you for explaining the work step by step. I was always curious. I like the 3D effect. I know how emotions still us into creating music and art.
Thank you Christopher =) ... Indeed, but like I said, I sometimes wish I had more freedom with what I do, like a painter. I guess it will become easier as I learn my tools more. Thank you for the upvote! I'm curious: I see you voted once, at 100%, and then later changed it to 8% ... How do you do that? Because I thought you only got the slider after 500 STEEM POWER.
Oh no. That stinks. I should have waited. I have an automatic curation set up to your post. I manually upvoted 100% and Steem auto changed it. This is not cool but thanks for telling me. Next time I will wait until the auto vote comes and then give you a higher vote later.
I also vote manually on busy.org. There is a slider in the setting. Thank you so much for telling me. Now I see how it works better.
Oh I see! .. That's very kind of you for setting me up as one of your auto-votes. Is that possible because of busy.org? .. I checked it out but didn't like it much, heh.
Ooh and now you just changed your vote back to 100% ^^ Thank you again.
I like this post because it is personalized. Busy gives me a lot of room to breath. My SP is getting low but I don't care. It must feel terrible to get a 100% vote and change it to 8%. You get used to it and with busy they have some SP so they frequently give upvotes to people who make their votes in busy. There are also notifications but go with what suits you.
I might give it another go... Although Ginabot takes care of all my notification needs ^^ ...
This is really beautiful. Digital art has come a long way from the beginning. Thank you for sharing some of your process!
Thank you and you're welcome =) Yes, indeed, the tools available to us now are so much more extensive... And big thanks for resteeming, too! Much appreciated.
love this!!
Thank you!
