Fractals and Pokemon

I've been quite busy the past few months and neglected to update the blog!

Hopefully soon I will also be able to post about Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. Some of the things that relate to my Borderline Personality Disorder can be difficult to discuss about, but I want to talk about it in the hopes that it helps someone.

But for now, I hope you enjoy some of the newer art I have been working on.


One of my dear friends really likes Vaporeon and Eevee. I haven't drawn anything in years, but I wanted to try to give him something special. I used a reference image that I found online on my second monitor. The original image was from a coloring page on a site that had many, so I do not know the original artist. I will add a credit here as soon as I find out!




Here is the original sketch. As you can see, I cannot draw a straight line for the life of me. I use an (old) Wacom Bamboo tablet, but even with a nice pen, I can't draw straight. Which is fine, since then I use the line tool in Photoshop!


Sadly, I don't know how to make the line taper down thinner in spots like other artists do, so it's all one thick line. I used the freeform line tool, because I convinced myself I couldn't use the normal one, which resulted in more shaky lines. (I learned how to with a Youtube video after.)




Flipping it around and adding some colors.





Flip it back, add shading (which I am horrible at), add a background and some neat looking text, and it's done! (The text effect I used can be found here.)

And now, on to the fractals!




This is a flame fractal that I created in the Chaotica program while trying to learn it. I was happy with this one since I think it kind of looks like leaves.



A zoomed in look at the previous fractal.




A variation of the fractal that I think looks like shells.




And one more variation that I feel looks like tentacles. I also changed the colors to better reflect the tentacle feel!




A fractal I made inspired by a tutorial (found here) that looks like a nebula. This was created in Apophysis 7X and rendered in Chaotica.







And last but not least, a taste of two fractals that I'm working on in Chaotica and Apophysis 7X. Far from the final images but I couldn't help but post a teaser! 

I hope that you enjoy my art work. If you have any questions about the programs I use, please feel free to ask!

ASMR - Tingles Everywhere

I have a lot of problems with my anxiety that gets so bad that I can't even leave the house. It also disrupts my sleep and I get pretty sleep deprived. I take enough pills already, and I didn't want to tack an addictive sleeping pill on top of everything. But I finally found something that actually relaxes me enough that I can finally get some very much needed shuteye. ASMR videos. ASMR stands for Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response. ASMR Research & Support defines it as "a physical sensation characterized by a pleasurable tingling that typically begins in the head and scalp, and often moves down the spine and through the limbs." These tingling sensations are triggered by either an internal trigger (from specific thought patterns) or external ones. External triggers can include things like whispering or unique speech patters, watching educational/instructive videos, sounds like scratching, tapping or paper crinkling, close attention from another person (like e

Smiley360 Review: Kikkoman Juicy Bird Project

So recently, I was chosen for Smiley360's " Kikkoman Juicy Bird Project ". In this we were to brine a chicken or turkey using Kikkoman Soy Sauce. Although I received these items to review for free, this is entirely my own opinion. I also apologize ahead of time for my usually horrible pictures as my cell phone has trouble in low light. I think it's time to start using a proper camera! "Experience the taste of umami in your meals with Kikkoman Soy Sauce . Try cooking with this dynamic sauce in traditional Asian dishes, mainstream American foods, classic Mediterranean dishes, Caribbean cuisine, or even to brine poultry." I've never brined poultry before, so I was excited to participate. I received not only 2 coupons for a free bottle of Kikkoman Soy Sauce, but a 5 gallon brining bucket as well. First, here's the recipe that was recommended: Kikkoman Chicken Brine Recipe Ingredients 2 cups Kikkoman Soy Sauce 2 Gallons water 1

Jellies and Bobbles and Fractals, Oh My!

It's been a long time since I've worked on anything art related. It's been hard to come up with new ideas and stay motivated. However, I did sort of recently play around with Apophysis 7X (you can see my other project with this program here ) to create 3D  flame fractals  and had a blast. So I wanted to post a few of pieces that I worked on. Click on a picture for a larger view. If you want to see some more of my artwork (that may or may not be horrible), click here for my Imgur album, which is sorted from newest to oldest. I hope you enjoy! (Also please note that they are signed with my old married name, Boseman.) Bobbles and gems Color variation From up top  Jelly fish! Variation of the jelly fish. A friend mentioned that it reminded him of metroids from the Metroid games. This is my favorite out of the bunch.
