I want to share a little bit more about my methods and preferences when creating my fractals. Some things are obvious, like my love for black and white renders. I'm addicted to seeing as many details as possible in raw fractals and black and white exposes more of them. Having said that however, I admit that I really enjoy using color more and more. The way I use color may drive some people a little nuts, though. I often enter into a state of flow when I create, and I make many fractals in a row by quickly changing paramaters.

I also have some favorite gradients, or at least gradients containing similar colors. I love "earthy" colors and so I end up with an insane amount that are some combination of blues, browns, greens, etc. These colors calm and soothe me and so I probably overuse them. lol I've also developed a
