"Luz Solun" | Gallery: Motifs
I imagined the light of both the sun and the moon having been captured in a magical orb.
As I look at it now, it also brings to mind the Silmarils from Tolkien's The Silmarillion. And palantirs! ... Oh my word, yes! I think I'll make a few palantirs in the near future ^^

“Modern science says: 'The sun is the past, the earth is the present, the moon is the future.' From an incandescent mass we have originated, and into a frozen mass we shall turn. Merciless is the law of nature, and rapidly and irresistibly we are drawn to our doom.”
-- Nikola Tesla
The creation process:
This was the original orb. I didn't use any layers... only two transformation formulae, and one Final. Here are the two:
Separately they are each too simple to use, but combine them and things get interesting:
I'm not sure when exactly, but at some point the thought of moon-light and sun-light came to me, and so I searched for a gradient to try achieve this effect:
And thus, I started tweaking the few paramters of each formula, until things started taking shape... I loved the "feel" of the first image, but there wasn't enough substance, if you know what I mean:
I tweaked parameters and couldn't seem to escape the symmetry (found everywhere with fractals). I try avoid symmetry whenever possible because it is easy to make something look attractive with it, but it's a kind of cheaty technique, especially with digital art, unless you're specifically going for that sort of thing, as is the case when I'm making my mandalas.
If you look carefully, Luz Solun still has a bit of the symmetry, but I think it's nicely disguised.

WOW!!!!! That's great!
Please don't spam my blog, thanks.
sory ! I can not spam! I saw such a sphere for the first time! did you do the sphere?
Ok, I removed the flag, because you actually replied. But please, do yourself a favour and don't comment "Wow, that's great!" (or similar short messages) on people's work. Especially if you didn't even bother to vote it up. I went through your comments and they are almost all under 8 words long.
If you want to be taken seriously here, engage authentically. (For example, you ask "Did you do the sphere?" ... Really? You're asking me that on my post in which I fully describe the creative process??)... And try and post good content... Stuff people will want to read and draw them back to your blog.
Thank you for your words! I will consider!
It is great work, skillfully accomplished. The final product is worth the time, and effort.
Meanwhile thanks for being a great part of the @asapers

So nice, I want to touch it and feel the moving liquids...
Thank you, Patrizia =) Yes I know, right? I really should do more of these in this style...
