I love a video game with a sense of humor!

I've been playing "Dragon Age - Origins" on my Playstation 3 recently. It is, in my humble opinion, an AMAZING role-playing game. It features a novel and robust storyline, a massive world to explore, and a very complex interface - presented in an easy to learn fashion.

It also has moments of great humor - a big bonus in my book, particularly given the somewhat somber and violet nature of the game's story. It's also interwoven appropriately, it does not come across as forced or corny.

A great example is a list of the knights who died defending a particular castle in the previous age. It features members such as:

- Allan the Quibler, Cartography Martyr
- David the Silent
- Dustin the Colour-Blind
- Ebenger of the Bovine Brethren
- Farrell the Feral
- Sir Graham the Untiring, and
- Jason sans les Argonauts

I love subtle humour.

No problem - your work is amazing! I faced a dilemma while looking at your gallery... did I really want make *all* your pieces my favorites?

While I numerous fractal software packages, I've not really used them artistically - I expect I'm just not versed in their use. Instead, I use the for the mathematic value, similar to how I use Mathematica. I was wondering if you'd be willing to share a little bit (at a high-level, not step-by-step details or such) on your process. I'm curious about how much of your pieces come straight out of the rendering software, and how many are moved into image editing software for post-production enhancements.

I'm sure you've been this for some time - and your work speaks for itself. Keep it coming! Thanks for posting your collection.

Thank you very much for your kind comments. I'm glad you like my work. Over the past five years I have spent thousands of hours on Apophysis. Since the early days of Fractint (DOS base) I have been making fractals and printing them.

I would say that in only 1 or 2 percent of my images do I alter the image at all except for occasional color enhancement and adding title, name and year in text using Photoshop Elements.

I hope that answers your question.

Best regards,
Tom
