Fractalist. Fractophile. Apoholic. Whether you are a fractal n00b or a veteran, I'm looking for you! Yes, that's right. Everyone is invited to participate.

Inspired by the efforts of *Gurly and ~Project-4, I want to piece together a polyptych wallpaper (composed of small, individual fractal pieces, like this example [link] ). Many of you in the fractal community are aware that both of the collaborative efforts mentioned above are currently in a state of limbo.

This is not a contest. There is no winner or prize given away, less the finished wallpaper. This is a community collaboration for everyone to join together and make one unique wallpaper from many images, while having a little fun. I do plan on offering a special stamp you can use in journals once you've made your first submission (yet to be uploaded), something along the lines of "I participated in the Community Wallpaper Project".

Please spread the word! Let's make this effort a success.

~Claire

FAQ

Does it have to be a fractal?

Yes. Any fractal generating application may be used, such as Apophysis, Ultra Fractal, XenoDream, Mind Boggling Fractals, Fractint, Fractal Forge, Agony, Fractal Explorer, Tierazon, ChaosPro, Chaoscope, SterlingWare etc. Also allowed are layered fractals, but do keep in mind that such detail will be lost on a small image. Post-editing is fine.

What colours are preferred?

The more colours, the better!

How many submissions am I allowed?

Currently, there is no limit, so start sending them to me. Although, please be reasonable. Fifteen is probably overkill.

Will you use all of my submissions?

In the case of excess submissions, not all pieces from a deviant will be used. However, I will make sure that every deviant who participates in this project will be represented in the final design.

Is it fine to add borders or text to my submission?

Do not add additional elements like borders or text. Just the plain fractal is perfect.

Will I get credit for my participation?

All deviants who participate will be displayed in the deviation description.
