A Full Size Version Is Available On My Site Xzendor7.com - [link] And It's Also Available On 50+ Product As Are The Majority Of My Fractal Art Compositions.
"When Only Gold Will Do" Is A Fractal Art Composition That Is Derived From My Previous Work The "Flight Of Helios".
This Piece Focuses On The Color Gold And Variants Like Metallic Orange And Copper Tones.
At It's Center Is A Deep Metallic Orange Orb With A Nice Glowing Orange Aura, Which Is Surround By Three Layers Of Gothic Curves With Graduated Gold Tones.
Below That Is Another Glowing Orange Orb Topped Off With A Yellow Star That Sits A Top Of A Copper Orange Tone Structure That Is Enclosed In A Gold Envelope With A Lighted Loop Within It's Base.
At The Very Top Is An Golden Overlapping Linear Fractal With Dark And Light Golden Accents Which Finishes Tying The Gothic Structure Together.
With Enough Of These Color Variations And A Nice Grain Fiery Cloud Background This Fractal Composition Set Against A Black Background Really Captures The Eyes Attention.
When Only Gold Will Do Is Composed Of 9 Fractal Elements Created With The GPU Based Fractal Generator Fractron 9000 And The Photo Elements Image Editor.

I Forgot To Add That At My Website - [link] This Short Video Goes Over A Simple Demonstration On How I Put One Of These Together.
It Gives A Good Idea On How To Go About Creating One (Audio Not To Good).
I Need To Do Some More Once I Build A New PC With More Power And Resources So That Viewers Can See The Whole Process Which Can Take Anywhere From A Few Hours To A Few Days If Not Longer.
Tried Doing It On My Present System But The Machine Just Came To A Crawl.
Almost All Of My Fractal Art Compositions Start Off As Abstracts. I Normally Select A Fractal Element (I Create These On A Constant Basis) That Looks Interesting To Me And Then Look For Other Elements Which Would Make A Good Fit.
Once I've Added Three Or More Images And A Form Begins To Take Shape Then My Imagination (Or As I Like To Say My Minds Eye) Takes Over And I Keep Adding Elements That Form An Image That Makes Me Sit Back And Wonder.
Now It's A Process Of Tuning The Color (Mostly Saturation Work) And Working With The Light Levels To Create Depth And Color Richness.
The Fractal Space Pieces And A Few Others I Create, Generally Start Off With An Image Already In My Mind. With These I Then Have To Hit The Fractal Generator To Try And Create Elements That I Can Use In The Realization Of That Image.
These Are Examples Of Direct Creations:
The Throne Room - [link] - Based On The Majestic Thrones Of Lore
Exploration Of Space - [link] - Based On A Vintage Mars Poster
