I’ve reworked the mouth on my “Haunted Nebula”. My first draft was a lot like this one, but I decided at the last to go for a more “Jack-o-Lantern” look with the version I posted Tuesday.

Which do you prefer? Your comments and ratings are helpful to me. I hope to work on the multiscreen for this one sometime this afternoon after I come back from Ian’s school Halloween party.

I’ve added the dual and triple-screen versions of “The Haunted Nebula” this evening.

I also wanted to mention that Zazzle is offering 30% off all calendars until Halloween (coupon code “2011CALENDAR”). Here’s mine!

I’ve done quite a few different Halloween pictures over the years and I think I’ve covered most of the basic themes (jack-o-lanterns, black cats, ghosts, graveyards, etc). This year I thought it would be fun to try something different.

It all started when I heard about the passing of Benoit Mandelbrot (the father of fractal mathematics) last week. Fractals play a huge part in my work so I wanted to do something as a tribute to the man. Halloween was quickly approaching however and I wanted to do something for the holiday.

I thought it would be fun to combine the themes and created “The Haunted Nebula“, my first fractal Halloween planetscape. Hope you enjoy it and have a happy Halloween!

I’ve added the sunset version “Gotham Garden” to the Pickle Jar this morning. As I mentioned before, I felt the leaves in this render were lost in the background color so I instead went with a much darker background.

Working on the multi-monitor render now!
