Typhon and Echidna
//
Apophysis 7x render slightly enhanced with GIMP 2.0.
I see something along the lines of a Chimera in this render, but not quite. I’m not sure, something mythological; perhaps a creature of my minds own invention. I find the creature/creatures easier to see when you enlarge the photo.
Regardless, I really like how it came out. Comments/criticism/thoughts encouraged and appreciated!

Wabi-sabi ↪
Wabi-sabi (侘寂?) represents a comprehensive Japanese world view or aesthetic centered on the acceptance of transience. The aesthetic is sometimes described as one of beauty that is “imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete”.[1] It is a concept derived from the Buddhist teaching of the three marks of existence (三法印 sanbōin?), specifically impermanence (無常 mujō?), the other two being suffering (dukkha) and emptiness or absence of self-nature (sunyata). Characteristics of the wabi-sabi aesthetic include asymmetry, asperity (roughness or irregularity), simplicity, economy, austerity, modesty, intimacy and appreciation of the ingenuous integrity of natural objects and processes.
