Dark Raspberry, Purple, Green and Gold

Here’s another Spyralle Gossamer, especially for Mardi Gras.

Spyralle Gossamer Mardi Gras

This is a gift for Spyralle Studio group members for a short time, in world. The hair is my current favorite Evelyn from Truth. The skin is that lovely Jewel from Curio in Honey [Dark] Amethyst 1. The eyes are Fashism ‘Sunrise’ Eyes in Egyptian Blue. No shoes. I seem to go barefoot a lot in SL.

I made masks out of fractal lace for Mardi Gras, too. The first one is a special edition in Dark Raspberry for the 52 Weeks of Color Challenge. The second is in more traditional Mardi Gras colors.  They’re unisex – I dropped them on a male friend and he looked utterly scrumptious in them.

Spyralle Mardi Gras Fractal Mask 2012

Here the model is wearing ‘Details’ hair by Elikatera in Brown 08.

The lace of the mask is composed from images I drew in Fractint in 1999. Fractint GIF images were restricted to 256 colors, which made it possible for someone (not me) to invent a coloring algorithm that outlined each separate area of color. And that made it possible to create a lace effect by doing a few things in post-processing. I do not know of any way to do this in UltraFractal.

The Fractal-a-Day project continues, though I am not doing very well at getting the images rendered out and posted. Therefore, I tend to do them in batches. You can find it here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/28907487@N06/with/6814586611/
