Ultra Fractal Tutorial - The Making of "Lords of Arrakis"
Part 1. Creating the "lords 1" layer.

Page 5. Adjust formula.

Step 9. Adjust formula parameters.
 
A. Once again, click on the Formula tab

In the Formula tab, set the Func1 parameter to sin.
Make sure the Func2 parameter is set to conj.
Make sure the Func3 parameter is set to ident.
Make sure the Func4 parameter is set to ident.

 
You can see a composition beginning to emerge.

 

B. Continue adjusting the Formula parameters:

Set the Periodicity Checking to Off.
Set the Maximum Iterations to 1000.

 
The image has become more powerful now and looks like this:

What a difference adjusting these final few parameters in the formula has made! To my eyes, the image holds a dramatic scene reminiscent of the movie, "Dune," with little further composition necessary. All that is needed is to follow the artistic lead already inherent in the image.

In the envisioned scene in "Dune," the "sleeper has awakened." Paul has drunk of the powerful water of life and has consequently become mystically flanked by the towering "worms," or, as I term them, by the "Lords of Arrakis."
