Motivated by mood, not technical prowess of any type. Consider it a dark art fractal, which I've never really done before with Ultra Fractal.
Edit: Took =trystianity's advice and rendered a layered psd file, while exporting the layer with the lines separate, then merging them all in Photoshop. Worked really well to get that blasted, aged effect.
