> maw | post-processed fractal images
Both of the images discussed on this page were made from the intial three-lobed fractal image.
The pit image was created by combining the first fractal with its own mirror image, using a multiplicative and/or subtractive blending mode so that like colors would darken. Layering in two successively smaller copies of the resulting image yielded a pit with a greater illusion of depth.
The inverted green world was created from the same original "maw" image as the pit. This time the original image was combined with just one mirror image of itself, using an color-inverting blending mode, which changed the center from mostly orange to mostly green. The Kai's Power Tools Glass Lens filter could also have been applied to give the image extra roundness.
