Hypnotica

This is a 3d/vector/fractal...

It all started when I made a render of my 3D female head and brought it into Photoshop to prepare it for teh interwebz. For some reason I had the lasso tool selected and accidentally clicked on the picture. I really liked the resulting shapes, so I bucket filled it and saved it. I was recently looking back through my old files, saw it, and thought to myself, "why, I bet that'd make a groovy vector." I also stumbled on an old fractal I always loved, but always thought it was better for use as a background than a standalone fractal. I made the vector and somehow thought to put the two together. Then I started layer blending. Eventually even the underlying 3D head layer was showing through to some degree. Anyway, this is the results, made in these programs in this order:

Anim8or
Photoshop 7
UltraFractal 4
Illustrator CS2

'tis truly madness!
