Artist's Comments

An entry in The-Heart Club's 'Deviant Hearts' Contest:
:iconthe-heart: [Link to contest details]

"Deviant" means "differing from a norm or from the accepted standards of a society", and that is what this contest is about. This image, with its allusion to the Chastity Belt, is a reference to people who voluntarily choose to remain Chaste before marriage or who take a vow of Celibacy, for spiritual or personal reasons. Heart deviations on DA typically celebrate notions and acts of Love in all its forms but images expressing the concept of voluntary physical abstinence are, I think, uncommon. This is why I think this image qualifies as being "different from the norm on DA" .


Created entirely within Ultra Fractal 4.04.

We all need more time, myself included, so to anyone who may 'fave and run' on this piece or any other: please accept my sincere thanks now for your quickie 'vote of approval'. :heart:

Wow, beautiful fractal (and quite naughty :eyes:). I love the gradient here, especially the gold patterns. One thing I'm wondering, though: How is the keyhole made within UF? It seems to me like there would have to be some Image equation to do so. :confused:
