Let there be GNARL!

Verb
Infinitive: to gnarl
Third person singular: gnarls
Simple past: gnarled
Past participle: gnarled

1. (transitive) to knot or twist something
2. (intransitive) to snarl or growl; to gnar

Noun
Singular: gnarl
Plural: gnarls

1. a knot in wood; a large or hard knot, or a protuberance with twisted grain, on a tree.
2. something resembling a knot in wood, such as in stone or limbs.
3. (mathematics) The average value of the magnitude squared of the curl of a vector field over a continuous path that is tangent to the vector field at every point. In mathematical notation, gnarl is represented by the lowercase Greek letter ξ.

Translated into Fractal Art, gnarl becomes many things: formulas, coloring algorithms, mappings, variations and variables... Combining shapes, gradients, weights, colors and transparency on gnarls is like opening your eyes on an unexpected, amazing, constantly renewing multiverse.
In a single word: awesomeness.

Hi all, dear members!

As many of you may already know, our GM :iconnataliekelsey: announces an Official Fractal Art Contest, as a tribute to our beloved Benoit Mandelbrot, father of fractal geometry, who passed away last month.

We all owe to Benoit, and we all should take part at this contest as a tribute to his genius and memory. :heart:

Enjoy the contest, and good luck to everyone! ;)
