Early Influences #2

Here's the second part of my Early Influences series where I feature artists that I looked up to and admired as I started out with fractals. The first feature was Kaeltyk. The second one will be;



I didn't start using Ultra Fractal until my third year into fractals, but zzzzra's abstracts have always been a source of awe for me. I could tell that they had something that set them apart from the rest of the UF fractals (and now I'm sure they do). His SFBMII abstracts have a special significance for me, since they were pretty much the only reason I decided to try Ultra Fractal. His surreal landscapes were also the first fractal DD's that I ever came across (for those who don't know, we didn't have Fractal GM's back then, so fractals would have to make it past the whole digital painting and 3D galore to get a DD from a digital art GM). That's enough nostalgia. Here's a bunch from zzzzra's gallery for you to admire:
