A Whimsical Challenge for April 2017


Hello all you lovely UF artists, here we are again with a new challenge...

Now listen up!... The challenge title is NOT referring to a cute/fun style of fractal but rather to a particular Colouring formula called "Whimsical" in jam.ucl. It's a fun one with lots of possibilities!

This colouring formula has a great many parameters that you can really get your creative teeth into. Your task this month is to use this colouring on most, if not all of your layers. It's as simple as that! You can use any formula you like but no mappings are allowed this time. You can keep it simple or get really creative with lots of layers and masks. Abstracts or spirals are equally suited to this colouring, the choice is yours. Just make a point of having a good look round the parameters and experimenting - don't just use the default settings!

Exclamation by Velvet--Glove Full rules below - you must read them!
It's so time consuming having to decline entries and explain stuff because people haven't checked what's needed!
