Maybe it's just me. But I look at the word 'sinusoidal' and wonder how the heck to pronouce it. It's a wonderful variation, makes great fractal fodder. But yet, I can't remember how to spell it, much less say the darn word. So in my head, I'm fractaling..."Hmm...this needs some suicidal...or sinusitis." Somtime's I just say to myself I'm feeling a little "Sinful", after a recent chastising of myself in realizing it starts with 'sin', not sun. LOL So, after catching myself a few minutes ago, while working on a fractal, thinking I need some suicide, I thought I'd post and ask what you all call your variations. I know there is going to be some that say, 'well, I call is sinusoidal.' Ok...I'm not talking you you. I can't be the ONLY one here. Or maybe you have pet names for your favorite variations. Most are self explainatory. Spiral and swirl are no brainers. But with the introduction of Apo plugins, and some of the crazy names some new variations have, I'm finding out Sinusitis is the least of my worries. Sometimes I give it a whorl and ponder doing the splits and think of the instant wedgie I might get in the process. All this makes me loonie, and I think I need a more modulus mindset. Pie, anyone???

Shutterstock:
I've been at Shutterstock, since about May, and along the way, have joined a few other stock agencies along the way. I love it, in that it is creatively challenging. I can design with 'designers' and concepts in mind. I also have learned a TON about Apophysis since joining. I'm to the point where I usually never use a script. If I'm trying to remember a style that I want to build on that is scripted, I will have Apo open on both computers, run the script on the version that is 'spare' for that moment, and simply take notes or hit that ah ha moment. I have over 1300 images there now, and this is with religious uploading lol, and usually a computer on all the time rendering. I'm doing ok, shattered some goals earlier than I expected.

This is my Gallery: [link]

If you would like to earn some money off photography, illustrations (fractal/digital art), vector art, and also footage, it's a good place to see what sells. You upload ten in the beginning, they like as noise free as possible. Start off at .25 cents a download, and you get bumped up to .30 when you hit the $500 mark. I did that in three months Click this link if you are interested:
