The idea for this piece started yesterday while trying my hand at creating new fractals with Sterling2.
This one below was an happy accident that inspired me to do more: I saw in it a delicate alien face, and the idea of an alien jellyfish or medusa dancing somewhere in a strange landscape suddenly took form in my mind.
Then I came across this contest and was inspired to try my hand at a fractal composition. I wanted my jellyfish or medusa dancing at the circus, an alien circus!
Many hours and two computer crashes later I finally had something to show. The image is a mix of around 15 different fractals I made between yesterday and this morning, put together and tweaked in gimp.
This is my entry to the contest by @juliakponsford.
