Does this fingery style have a name?

[tromboniator]

I see it everywhere, but don't know what it's called. Can someone enlighten me?

Thanks,

I would call it "Modern simplified Japanese woodcut clouds"

[tromboniator]

I would have preferred something simpler, like "Fred", maybe, but I guess I can live with that for now.

Thanks, Ton.

I think "Freb" would be better than "Fred".

If you are attempting to edit an existing image in this style Photoshop may provide an easier approach than Illustrator if you are willing to accept the decreased quality of pixel output instead of vector output in this case.

I think it should be called 'blobulation'. Then you could say things like 'As you can see, I have blobulated this image', or 'I have introduced blobulation to this design for a more contemporary feel'.

I used the Search with an image feature on Adobe Stock to see if there were any similar images and find out what they were called. I found one called Abstract background with colorful melting shapes (#175641020). I tried a Google search with the keywords "abstract melting shapes vectors" and found some more, so that might be what they're called.

It looks like it could fit in with the interior decor of the Death Star.

Spoon Graphics had a few tutorials about this style of production. This was one of them.How To Create a Flat Style Vector Planet in Illustrator

Trying dragging the image into Google Search and see if it finds anything.

I do not think every style has a name......

Since I created the image in order to ask the question, dragging the image into Google search gave me…this thread. It's the only place on the web that it exists. Apparently I can call it whatever I like and be assured that I'm right. Also, now that I know this and have an efficient way to create such a design, I never have to mention it or build one again. Ah, the relief!

Thanks, everyone.

To me it looks like another definite evidence that shows that the Apollo 11 mission was a hoax. They were not there.

I'd call the style "not11".

I had those designs on a plate when I was 7...

We call it "霞文様" means "haze pattern." Not cloud...

[tromboniator]

Thanks, That makes sense.

[Ton Frederiks]

Thanks, I knew I had seen it in Japanese art.

Good to know what it is called.

What surprises me is that searching for the image above with Google does not give similar images.

But searching for 霞文様 shows many of them.

Edit: Photoshop probably provides better edibility, but naturally the pixel output has drawbacks.
