Dragon Flames Flamepack

Well, I never expected to make it to 400 deviations (plus who knows how many scraps). I always expected to go quality over quantity.

Anyway, since I did, I thought I'd upload a flamepack of basic flames for learning with. Included are parameters and example images for:

1) A very basic spiral. This is useful for two things; actually making spiraled fractals, and for testing out what new variations look like on their own. You can replace the blur circles with just about anything and get an idea of how a variation starts out.

2) The original basic flower. I tried to do a live tut on this and didn't do so well, so here's a parameter you can use to start out with instead.

3) Stained glass. Have fun tweaking this one! It's very, very versatile.

4) Disc technique. I originally learned this from ~ToxicGirlfriend Also very versatile, but sensitive.

5) Plastic hearts. ^lyastri let me in on the secret of making pretty painterly fractals by adding a dab of cross to a plastic; I discovered it makes awesome hearts if you do it right!

Feel free to download and tweak to your heart's content. Hopefully it will be useful for some of you new fractalists just starting out. You don't have to credit me or show me what you've made, but I'd sure love it if you did!

Only one Rule for use:

1) DO NOT render and upload as is. Besides being really boring, that's stealing.

Flames should open in:
