Artist's Comments

Apophysis 2.02-2.05 | GIMP | FastStone Image Viewer

For every render that did not look like what the preview suggested...
For every time I thought, "Maybe this flame will look good with a hot pink/fuschia/orange gradient..."
For every time I said, "I'm sure the flame will look better when I render it. Sure..."
For every time I decided, "Oh, what the heck. It's only 15 minutes of my life..."

There is The Wall of Shame

EDIT 6/5/07: New border and text

I think that this is the most fun I have had on an arts project. I always knew keeping my dud renders would be useful one day.

The Duds Project was borne out of a creative dry spell and contains 150 of my dud renders. As a rule, I do not trash most renders. The scary truth is that The Wall of Shame could have been twice this size. After I had rearranged the layout twice, I found even more hideous renders. But the original PNG was almost 60 MB, so I decided that 150 would be the final number.

Oddly, I have a strong attachment to many of these duds. The bottom right image is the first Apophysis image I ever rendered. That flame almost made quit Apophysis for good because I didn't understand anything about the Transform Editor.

What a great way to show the work we would otherwise not see! If I threw out work that was not as good as these I would show none at all. :)

Well, it's interesting to know that even the profesionals sometimes have creative block :aww:

Haha, great idea. The sad part for me is that your wall of shame is better than a lot of my own postings! :lol: Though I think I have that lower right corner beat anyway :)

Wow! Thats a great idea! I like the way all the colours slowly go from one end
of the colour specrum to the other. Nice job :D

This is really cool, and seems like a cathartic way to deal with artistic dry spells. I think this would make an excellent poster print. :)

Thanks! I had originally intended to spell out something like "crap" or "sux" within the images, but I didn't have enough of one type of fractal to do so. That's when I went back to my original idea of going through the rainbow. Took a few days to get it in the right order, though. It's hard to do with so many images. ^^;
