HAPPY HOLIDAYS Alien Art Hive Community! From @justclickindiva | A Fractal Rendering Project & NFT Tokenized Art

Hello everyone and welcome back to my digital art projects. I feel this is my best digital art fractal project yet. So today, I'm dedicating this fractal art project to the Alien Art Hive Community. I have a passion for creating digital images. Then, I discovered fractals. The designs in my themes have always confused others who usually give the perfunctory "it's nice...but what exactly is it? puzzled look. Also, my fiction and poems inevitably steered toward the sci-fi genre. I call it "the dark side". I felt I didn't have a home for my digital creations and accompanying stories.

Once I discovered the Alien Art Hive Community, I knew I'd found a home for my works. Since joining, the staff and members in this community welcomed me and my dark side. They understand my works and accept me wholeheartedly.

So today, I have a special holiday treat for all the members of the Community. I'd like to present you this ornament to say "Thanks" for your kindness and inclusiveness into the Alien Art Hive Community. The flower in the ornament is Julian fractal I designed with Apophysis 7x.

My second treat is for our Community during this holiday season. In the U.S., we have huge celebrations during the Fall Season. The season begins September 22nd and ends on December 31st.

During this time, we have a change that brings with it festive colors that change the landscape. We also celebrate the Fall holidays. The most important one to me is Christmas. That's when we celebrate the birth of Christ. The holidays include Thanksgiving, and we're in a festive mood. You may find cities and towns all over the U.S. decorated with beautiful fir and pine trees. Then we decorate our homes.

CHRISTMAS TREE

In my home, we typically have a tree. Some years, we have a live tree. The fir and pine bring a wonderful aroma to your home. When the children were small, they would help decorate it with their favorite ornaments.

For my second gift to the Community, I'd like to present my fractal digital art Christmas tree.

All the elements of the tree are fractals. For the ornaments, they consist of small fractal circles and other objects. I think they blend nicely with the tree. In the background is a fractal design that definitely looks like a curtain panel. I knew immediately that I'd utilized it as a drapery for the appearance of living room backdrop. Just as in offline life, my Christmas tree is leaning.

FIREPLACE

Around the fireplace is where all the action takes place. We love to gather and toast marshmallows, sing, and exchange gifts. We have a tradition where, the day before Christmas, that night on Christmas Eve, we exchange a gift from our Secret Santa. You see, we pull names during Thanksgiving.

Some years, it's cold enough in our part of the U.S. during winter to warrant a fireplace. I'm hoping we get a chance to utilize it this year.

I had a pleasant experience designing the fireplace project from the fractals. Separate, some fractals don't appear of any important until you combine them with other designs. Together, they make an awesome, sometimes hauntingly beautiful design. I'm proud of my fireplace. I can see me and my family sitting in front of it just talking, laughing, remembering past holidays, and finally, celebrating loved ones we've lost during the past year.

CHRISTMAS WREATH

A home is not complete without a wreath. It's usually placed on the outside of the front door. However, we like to add a second one and place it over the hall entrance with a welcome decor element.

This fractal totally surprised me during its design. I was attempting to follow a tutorial for a simple Julia fractal flower when I went off script. I rotated the triangles counter-clockwise; then added another element I knew would blow out the triangle circle variation.

HOLIDAY FOOD

What better way to enjoy the holidays but with the special food served this time of the season. Holiday food is what we call it. The aromas that fill the home from cooking these dishes give one a feeling of comfort and togetherness. Meats, veggies, side dishes, desserts, and drinks round out the eating table.

Let's not forget the fruit baskets filled with assortments of fresh fruit, nuts, and candies. For my fractal fruit basket, I designed a wire container in the shape of an open basket. It was perfect to place my fractal drawings in. I couldn't believe I designed an image that looks like bananas.

I've been working on this project for a week. From inception, it feels as though every element of my fractal designs came together effortlessly to create this gift for the Community. I hope you enjoy.

I thoroughly enjoy being a part of the Alien Art Hive Community. I look forward to another year of publishing here.

Thanks for taking the time out of your busy schedule to view my various fractals for this project.

Tokenized art

I uploaded my fractals to the NFT Showroom. They are for sale there in tokenized form in my collection.

Size: 3000 x 2400:

I'll tokenize the remaining fractals soon.

I previously provided directions on how to create fractal drawings. To see complete instructions on maneuvering and manipulating the triangles, see my how-to post here.
Thanks for taking the time to view my post. If you'd like to try any of the programs I mention here, just let me know below, and I'll help if you require any.

WOW! WOW! WOW! Utterly amazing!

Hello. Your response makes me so happy to see. Coming from a fractal extraordinaire, it means a lot.

I appreciate your support. Take care, and have a good weekend.

Fractals are very functional and colorful designs, plus they have very beautiful colors, you knew how to put them together in a wonderful way to create this work with its greatest Christmas spirit!

These are some nice holiday cheer inspired artworks. Thanks for sharing!

Hello. You're welcome. It was a pleasure to complete this project. Thank you so much for the support of the community. Take care.

You take care and have a great weekend! =)

Hey @justclickindiva, sorry to jump in off-topic.
Do you mind reviewing and supporting the Hive Authentication Services proposal? That would be much appreciated.
Your feedback about the project is welcome too.
Thank you.

Hello @arcange. I'll bookmark it and review it later tonight. Thanks for the reminder.

Thank you for your support, really appreciate it! 👍

Hi @arcange

I just reviewed your proposal I think it is fantastic and have added my vote.

It is an especially important development project to try and bring mass adoption to hive. I am used to using keychain but the majority of people in web 2.0 just get put off by those levels of complexity - even though it isn't really that complex 😂 - but people generally want everything easy.

I always remember our interesting conversation at steemfest 3, and I'm happy to support such a dedicated and talented hive dev 🙂

Thank you for your support @raj808 👍

Nice content. Merry Xmas in advance

Hello @temmylade. Thank you so much for stopping by. Merry Xmas in advance to you too. Have a happy and safe holiday season.

Thanks so much 👍

Beautiful art @justclickindiva

This fractal art is amazing, and something I've never explored myself. You've inspired me and I'm going to try and learn how to make similar graphics/images 😂

What software do you use to create these fractal images? if you don't mind me asking.

Thanks so much for your kind words. I use the free Apophysis 2.09. There are numerous fractal rendering programs, some of which can be expensive.

These are beautiful! No wonder I haven't seen you! You have been creating! The art is lovely and I am so out of the loop with NFT with my noncreativity, but, I appreciate everyone's!

Merry Christmas! Lovely! The tree is superb!

Hello. I love creating digital art. And it takes a lot of time. I've given myself days to be creative. It relaxes me. Thanks for stopping by and your kind words.

I am so happy you are doing well with it. You have such a creative mind! Good luck with it!

Christmas is the most beautiful time of the year, we celebrate the birth of the child God. For me this date was always important and now much more, because it also celebrated my daughter's life. Your art is incredible, I really like it. You're very talented
